VOICE OF THE HEART

Love - a beautiful myth we hold on to
with vague comprehensions.. fading
lines..

meaningless.. each emphatically bemoaning
an emotion with no place in their lives
..

sadly missing it's true import all
along.. accepting the shadow.. ruing
it's loss..

a bit of romanticism.. in a vain attempt
at adding magic, to an emotion
that is Godly in itself..

misguided by eyes the tortured heart
wishes for that trust.. as handicapped it
becomes a pawn to the mind..

despairing
of this dependency.. negating everything
natural to it..

the one voice that
matters.. the only essential truth..

ignored.. unheard.. dismissed..

sadly conditioned
into vague
oblivion..
