The Heart and the Hormones

I'll try to convey what I'm trying to say.
Bout the difference between heart and horny.
It is something that I in the past didn't buy.
Cause I thought that it just sounded corny.

But now I've had time to think and to dote.
On why things have to rhyme when distinctly remote.
This distance between the head and the heart.
Gets confusing when lower steps in with it's part.

While many will venture into realms of ****.
To get round the bend so to speak, round the horn.
Devout sentiment holds the reigns taught on some.
While others, well, you know, they just want to ... .

This journey that each of us takes on our own.
Can get kinda lonely if we're all alone.
And when physiology enters the ring.
It can smooth out the path when the bell starts to ring.

Just try to remember that it's part of life.
And that aspirin aren't all that can help with the strife.
Have a drink, take a pill (viagra) just sit back and relax.
Before long you will know about life's little facts.


Note: the ****'s were inserted by Poetry Soup not me.:) Go figure huh? :):):) But I did do the other little ...'s. :) I find that an interesting interjection that truly speaks to the theme of this poem. :) <3 :)

Leslie, "This distance between the head and the heart. Gets confusing when lower steps in with it's part." This is so true in so many instances! Bravo my friend! Bravo!

My thank you is long over due Caren. I just got done reading the poem about the womb by Nina Parmenter that made me come back here to see this craziness of the same sort of censorship. <3 :)

hhaha, i had no idea Soup had inserted the ... things. I was having fun figuring out the missing words for myself by the rhyme!! Wow, what did you do to earn Soup team's special attention to your "bad words" hahaha. They were not even vulgar words like some I have seen here. Great job, my friend.
