Mind Over Heart

Two nights before heart's day
Again, will I be just on sidebay
How I wish I have a love today
My heart, time and effort I'll lay

Cupid's arrow, aim at my heart
Keep it open wide and apart
Precautions on red alert guard
Senses heightened twice on dart

On "likes", do not sink and submerge
Like the Titanic banged an iceberg
Use the heart to feel and feel
Yet, bring the mind to think and fill

Feelings really overpower
Yet, stop! Stop! Stop!
Exercise the mind's power
Weigh things up, think it over

The warmth in your heart is as deep as an Iceberg Olive. Bless the soul whom captures your heart, James :)
