Intuit
Reason.
Heart.
Should our emotions be the master of reason?
Should logic be the master of heart?
Is the goal to seek balance between the two?
Is intuition a function of emotion? or is it the master of both reason and emotion?
Logic is a tool of the mind, and emotions are a sort of sense, a sense that is always present, but dulled by overexposure to our own feelings and to those we see in print, online, and on the tube or screen.
We are so busy that our own emotions are just reactions to the stresses of the world around us, but they should be our guides to and in loving relationships with partners, friends, and family.
Of course, it is reason that tells me this.
What of intuition?
2/14
In both moments of passion and moments of reason
I wonder if I have the heart for this season
of chocolate and roses and fluttering hearts
that always end up broken.
Broken (inappropriately lyrical)
Oh, I feel bro ken.
Though I know it isn’t true,
these words unspo ken
by others and by you
make me feel bro ken.
Hey, what am I to do
to fix this bro ken bo dy
……….bro ken mind and
….bro ken heart and
bro ken life…
Oh, I feel bro ken.
What am I to do?
Open Wide
With my eyes open wide,
I adore you.
With my arms open wide,
I embrace you.
With my mouth open wide,
I kiss you.
With my heart open wide,
I love you.
Now
Now,
With no regrets,
With no holds barred,
For all the right reasons,
With love in my heart,
I ask you,
Marry me.
When I Know You
When I hear you,
I hear joy, tenderness, laughter, and light,
strength, passion, will, and might.
When I see you,
I see life, beauty, wildness, and truth,
the sun, the moon, wisdom, and youth.
When I smell you,
I smell flowers, musk, your hair, your hands,
dawn and dusk, the beach, the sands.
When I touch you,
I feel your softness, your power, your grace, your art,
the blood coursing through you, the beat of your heart.
When I taste you,
I taste earth, water, cool, and sweet,
body, blood, salt, and heat.
When I know you,
I will know everything worth knowing.
