Heart And Mind

As she sat on the window pane, looking at the sky crimson blue;

There echoed the voices of the mind and heart, and a quarrel between the two.

With a heavy heart, the heart said; I have been alone a long time and how I long to fill in my empty space!

Grinning at this the mind exclaimed, you’re silly and romantic dear and your vision is blurred with haze!

I am power, I am the ripple and I know how to make things right!  Declaimed the mind.

I do not seek power, I do not know right. I am deaf, blind, mute; all combined!

I want to reach the stars but heart you bound me with fetters of love, obstruct me from flying high;

Heavens know that I am not the fetters, I am the wings and with me you rise; pleaded the heart with a sigh.

I desire riches, I desire success, Alone I will conquer and the crown I’ll adorn.

At this the heart shed a tear, Unlucky will be that soul who will sit alone on his throne.

I pity you heart for you require a lover to care, support and please.

And I pity you mind for you cheat, lie, plan and plot and you are never at ease!

Alone I will go fast and to make a life grand and long, is my quest;

Together we will go far and live big and forever, this my heart knows best.

I dread your vision for you will never find a soul mate to carry you in your rough patch,

All I want is a heart so true and love so pure, that our rhythms match.

I protect you heart for this world is cruel and you’re fragile, I fear to see you cry

I can be broken, I can be hurt but this is my vigil; 

To rise in love, to fall in love for without, I’ll slowly die.

As she sat on the window pane, looking at the sky crimson blue;

She wondered who won the quarrel between the two.
