the Heart wants what it wants

the Heart wants what it wants
~
Individualistic unrivaled wants
Tempting desires into needs
Defying the mind its logistics
Reinventing discarded feelings

Unto someone / something new
Hand in hand - words & action
How far-off will "delusion" go
How slow will integrity show

Rigid essence of the person
In morality & their principals
The once frowned upon red
Has now been flagged green

Do away the self-abiding rules
Based on likeability & the who
See red and only logic will reign
See green & everything's serene

The sure way to its death is passion 
And lack in continued preservation
Eventful ache or a new resurrection
The heart's desire its only sanction
