Jim Slaughter Poet Triolet

The Heart Always Knows

The heart always knows what it wants,
The head often gets in the way.
A fantasy teases and taunts…
The heart always knows what it wants…
That fantasy's virtues it vaunts.
People in love are wont to say
The heart always knows what it wants,
The head often gets in the way.
