Heart and Mind

Here, see I’ve opened
The window of my mind
Visit, on leaving please tell
Of what you hoped to find

Oh, no, love is not there
It’s safely in my heart
My mind is for other things
That visit and depart

Love is not of the mind
It’s not a thought process
Sometimes cruel often kind
But we all want to possess

It breaks you into pieces
Or picks up pieces of you
It burns you or it freezes
Kills or makes you anew

So hold and taking care
Of the only one you love
And recite a silent pray
For this blessing from above
