Left brain reasons, right brain denials

when did reasons stop making sense

how did self- interest take first place in spite of the obvious

why does denial work in most cases

even though logic and common sense yell

he came again asking for impossible

she listened, 

and at first refused, outright!

he continued, demanding, and pleading his case

innocent, he said of all charges

though he did time

tempers flared, voices lifted higher

as each made their case for understanding

without even listening

to the other 

barely, if ever

common sense would say, don't press it

logic would agree

left brain kept pushing and wouldn't listen

hours passed, right brain relented

granted the impossible

in spite of the obvious risk

where is the justice for those without agendas

for those who care when it matters the most

and are there when needed

not only when convenient

during birthdays and holidays

how is that love only during those events

or does love remain, constant, each and everyday

what's in it for me at the end of it all

love makes it right with this soul bleed

left brain reasons, right brain denials...

We are all split personalities... It is one treason we can choose to do stupid things and rationalize it as a good choice...
Painful realities of life.

You definitely realized your goal here when the reader considers the title.
Your words leave the reader feeling drawn and quartered. Bravo.

Aloha dear Alisa - I enjoyed this very much

"as each made their case for understanding
without even listening
to the other " - so sad. When communication fails nothing will work.

Such a conflict here in people - perhaps a lobotomy is in order...?

I wonder if love isnt like a perpetual thing once created between two beings and it just drifts like a lily on a pond away ... only when we follow it does it work ...

take care my friend
:)

Aloha ANTO,

So nice to read your thoughts again.

I am inclined to think that romantic love will blossom when appreciated with a heart of gratitude and sincerity.....

...it falls apart if met with an attitude of entitlement and unrealistic expectation. And yes, honest communication is certainly an important key in the equation.

Wishing you an awesome weekend...

I love the punch in this piece. Guts to speak of something solid. Love is fickle...well human love anyway.
Very nice to "meet" you and I loved what you had to say :)

~~ this is a very powerful piece of writing, alisa... ~~ my experience of love (in any kind of relationship) tells me that ultimately we have control only over our definition of love... ~~ others have control over their definition of love...

Thank you for your time and comments...
