My Heart’s Advice I Don’t Need


My heart has known this all along
That you were the one with its song
But I stopped listening to my heart
Because I’d been blown wide apart
And I thought if I ignored its voice
I could make a sensible easy choice
But my heart lifted its voice to say
That it will make its choice its way

My eyes knew before the rest of me
That you were the one with certainty
But I stopped believing what I saw
Because I didn’t want love anymore
And I thought if I closed my eyes
I could manage without loves’ sighs
But my eyes opened up on their own
And connected me to loves phone

My lips knew they wanted your taste
That you were the one in their race
But I stopped seeing their sorry pleas
Because I thought my soul I’d freeze
And thinking I’d my sense to outwit
I could pretend I didn’t mind a bit
But my lips wanted to taste you now
And it went seeking for you anyhow

Marsha


Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same
Robert Browning

My head and my heart are at odds all the time.  It's usually my heart that wins, and looks like yours does, too.  Hope it makes the right decision for you.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Kari dear heart, my heart has no mind to lose, it's okay for it to cause trouble, but the rest of me thinks it should shut up! Thanks muchly love, as always you talk sense.
Love as always

Marilyn love, thank you, yes I'm afraid so my heart never listens, no matter how good the advice is.
Take care love as always

Dreamkeeper, thank you I know quite a few people who also have the same trouble, but it doesn't make it easier to know others have the same aggro does it?
Take care love as always

And while thy willing soul transpires
At every pore with instant fire

Let me let you in on a little secret Bev. . . if I would have listened to my head, I would have never found this place. . .  

Beautiful love. . . wonderful. . .
