Poignant Heart

Passion crescendos agreeably

In an attempt to reawaken love

Caressing the wisdom of a lost heart

Undertones melodically capture

The quiet of night

A familiar tone resonates

Across empty space

Lyrics explosive raw emotions erupt

In need to contact melodiously

With a clandestine soul

Vibratos cry out reaching anticlimax

Realization settles in

Music of heart and soul crisscross never meshing

Leaving rancorous mellifluous sounds

To seal up a symphony of orchestrated

Heartbreak

Conflicted

Conflicted emotions

No emotions

Love, hate

Rich, poor

Happy, sad

Damn if I do damn if I don’t

Break the cycle

Cycle can’t be broken

Rest, no sleep

Mind troubled

Troubled with what’s going on in my mind

Round, square

Up, down

Does it ever end?

Conflicted

Trust

Togetherness forms a union

Refused to be broken

United in bond of hope

Souls breathing for intimacy

Tangled in the web of belief

                                                Unity

                                                       Love

                                                              Peace

                                                                   Trust

War Inside of Me

See there’s a war going on inside of me

With my heart and mind wanting two different things

My heart is saying it wants love

My mind is telling me you’re just fine the way you are

Which one do I listen to?

A heart that’s been broken one time to many

Probably is bias by now

A mind that has struggled to make sense of the pain

Still the battle rages and the war is going strong

Heart and mind each one trying to define love and pain

Pain and love

Two strong emotions egotistical both wanting to win

In the war inside of me

Trust not the blind emotion

Forget not the transgressions

The pendulum is swinging in violent agitation

Mind, heart, which one are you going to abide by

Mind…

Heart….

Mind…

Heart…

War inside of me continues
