The Heart Rules As The Mind Wanders

The Heart Rules As The Mind Wanders

What does it mean?
I look at you and feel love
But I do not know if it is you I love
Or the dream of you
I think about you all of the time
The feel of your skin
The smell of your hair
The way your eyes sparkle
As you look at a summer's full moon
You take me back
I was younger and did not know
What love was
How could I tell
What should I look for?
Are there words I should I hear?
A lifetime older now
Thoughts swim in oceans of confusion
Not knowing is killing me
My heart tells me what to do
What to say
What to feel
My mind wonders
Slow and confused
My heart rules
and I fall in love

Falling in love is such an apt expression Robert as you describe in your lovely poem of flowing doubts. Best to just take life daily and not expect anything, that way you can't be let down and dissappointed and if love keeps shining on you, well what a bonus? Smiling at you, Tai
