I'm sorry
I try every day
Guiding my head to overtake my heart
Pulling on the heart strings
This way and That
The balancing act of a life time
Redirecting the attachment
In an upstream motion
Even my head, be of a trickery at times
Telling me it is okay
Validating invalid actions
Allowing my heart to be free
I tell myself over
No, this can not be
I am sorry
I am trying
BUT,
Sometimes my heart
Overturns my head
Sometimes my head deceives me
I seek for the strength day after day
And, still, I can't help but
Love you.
My head be of a trickery also at times. Sometimes you wonder which actually has the greater pull...heart or head, and is it the same for everyone, or do some of us give one or the other more weight. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteHeart has lesser pull as one advance through age i suppose
ReplyDeletegr8 poem as always
This poem could be called Life, it is what it is and always changes from one day to the next, it is not what happens in one's day that matters, it is how we react to the change, will it be with your head, your heart or both......it's your choice, always in your power for you to decide.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day my friend...:-) Hugs
So very true, and so very much life as Bernie said. My struggle between head and heart led to some very challenging decisions... Great writing.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you
Its so true...this is honest work!!!
ReplyDeleteIm more head over heart ... funnily enough.
ReplyDeleteI just wish my head was more clued up. lol
I like your line
'Sometimes my heart
Overturns my head'
It's nice when that happens.
Beautiful and painful at the same time...
ReplyDeleteThis is officially my second favorite Kay poem, after the one about the lioness and her lover. "Validating invalid actions." I love it. My heart does what it wants, and keeps on doing it, against all evidence and no matter how long I make it sit in the corner to think about what it has done.
ReplyDeleteThere is a battle, to be sure, and sometimes not just between the two, but inside of the two also. Makes for confusing times.
ReplyDeleteI like to tell my head to be quiet...
the games our head and our heart play can be over whelming, tiring and dangereous.
