Just Blame My Heart

Watching it spin on an axis of shame Collecting my thoughts in the cool summer rain Whispering now cause I just can't complain Well, it's the least I can do Silvertone speakers that crackle with age Finding the book but misplacing the page Don't question why it is all of the rage Merely just one point of view Washing the sheets as the pillowcase cries Shouting tomorrow, an early surprise Gathering matchsticks, a sweet compromise Turning my face to the wind Cutting a rug even though I can't dance Betting on four, might as well take a chance Two could be better when thinking romance Maybe I'll do it again This might seem crazy, the phrases I write Nothing too loose but some lines very tight Not making sense in this poem tonight All of the verses above Here is the reason I wrote this today Insane concoctions now put on display Just blame my heart it has something to say I think I have fallen in love

This was just lovely. So much meaning in some of the complex yet simplest of phrases..." washing the sheets as the pillowcase cries." Brilliant.

Oh, Chris - just let me breath inside your poems, skipping as a lark from one to the other as their emotion intoxicates my poetry adrenaline. No matter how emotive in any emotional direction, the poet and muse in me, skip, they do, with glee. This is an awesome write, I'm skipping on the inside. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

True, the heart loses its reason when falls in love but it creates a reason of its own which beats uncontrollably in the rhythm of emotions! Well written my friend, Chris!

This is a great love poem. And life is looser than we think. Associations rock and a stream of consciousness is real.
