A Heart and Mind Affair

My heart is telling me, go, go, go

Mind is saying no, no, no…


You don’t know if she loves him

How she feels when she’s with him

Would you risk breaking your heart…. 

Another Heineken the barman asked 


My heart is saying it's time to show

This could be the dream girl you want to know…

Don’t bother with the mind… 

Everything will be just fine…just walk across and talk to her


So I turned around and walked across...

Said hello, my name is Ross...

Are you the anchor from Cable news...

She smiled and said you must be confused 
	
And as we talked I knew it right away... love favors the wise and brave


Then I heard a voice talking from behind

My heart closed up and there was mind


Thank God they were old High School friends

We fell in love before the night had end

I felt my mind say, oh my,  how lucky me

Taking a chance on what heart believed...

Caren Krutsinger Date: 7/12/2019 9:21:00 AM I jump into heart-felt situations all the time. Sometimes they backfire, but for the most part they work out. There is a voice and when you hear it, you know. I think you have heard this voice.This poem is proof. Login to Reply

Gershon Wolf Date: 7/10/2019 9:25:00 AM One more clue to your questioning of love in your poem of July 10: You wrote in this poem that 'We fell in love...' Shouldn't people rise in love?! Isn't there something terribly revealing, and wrong, about 'falling' in love? What say you? ~ gw Login to Reply Arturo Michael Date: 7/11/2019 1:42:00 AM Honestly no...the love expectations must be clear...is it long term short term or just for the night...each as its own level...not sure the heart can deal with that...cause something happens...maybe I can't explain it yet....

Brandy Nicole Date: 7/9/2019 10:32:00 PM Sometimes, the heart leads the way and then the mind follows. You never know, unless you take a chance. This is so beautiful and romantic. :) Brandy Login to Reply Arturo Michael Date: 7/10/2019 1:49:00 AM Hi Brandy...Thank you for the support my friend...You're very sweet...
