Primal Emotion

PRIMAL EMOTION

Tell a blind man of purple
A born deaf of Mozart & Beethoven
Catch a feeling and bind it verbal
Tell a heart and mind of primal emotion

Uncontrollable moving primative force
In need of survival: a compelling reaction
On its own blindly following natures course
Animal instinct toward repelling or attraction

Think what beautiful stars would taste like
If dry logic said not, it’s fiery and gassed
Feeling without thought as guiding light
Is distraction and ecstacy overly amassed

In balance combined heart and mind
Pondering emotions to a brilliant work of art
Staring through glossy hazel windows to find
That my heart lies inside my mind
