Scream and Shout

Sad to see the love of ones life walk down the Isle without you.

 

 

The heart never sleeps like the mind

forever twists and turns

When the mind has had enough

the heart of love still burns

 

The mind tells the heart to tether

it's hopes upon a string

Always thinking it knows better

to make life's chorus sing

 

These two dance through life together

two parts of just one soul

Each searching to love another

chasing a different goal

 

Many a man followed his mind

to turn love asunder

But he never knows beauty's bliss

 of love he will wonder

 

The mind is not the final judge

of what life is about

Best to not die of a whimper

but live to scream and shout

 

Author's Note

Sad as it is to have a broken heart, one can't but think how joyous the heart that gets back up screams to the fates" Is that the best you got?"

well done Tate ... top notch rhyme rhythm and story telling says i! its an old and well worn debate which comes first ... the feeling or the thought .. the chicken or the egg ;) personally i don't think we can "feel" without first the thoughts ... just try "feeling" something without thinking first ;) but i hear the message in this loud and clear ... its the surrender to passions that breaths all the colors and fiery turmoil into ones life ...all the heartache one has is well worth the experience of strong emotional love and desire ... a great addition to your poetry here at the Cafe' ... always a treat to see you have posted anew!

I AGREE :(

[the_stoic]

the mind and heart are constantly at loggerheads .. you have nicely portrayed the same .. though i second you on the idea that the closing lines bring out (my opinion) .. that said - as always a good write !

Your poem rings true Tate.

A Hobo once told me Tate. Its all about finding whats on the inside that matters *points to heart with thumb*.

Peace is right there for you. Just your mind has been disturbed and misdirected. Are you watching closely? And so, the thickness of uncertainty still lurks behind.

Greetings in the Mark of the Turtle.

the point was laid on strong to a fact that many of us know but fail to yield to.
i doubt many of us ever will know the joy of living without fear of living truly within our own skin of living peacefully. hopefully a few of us can teach the rest the joys of self accomplishment of freedom from constriction of life without molding

so im not sure if this was meant to be or not cos i can see how it works the way it is but in these lines
"to turn hearts love asunder
But he never knows beauties bliss"

should hearts be heart's
and beauties beauty's

either way can change the interpretation
just wanted to make sure what you wanted was being said

Bravo... I like the last verse... yes I agree

The mind is not the final judge

of what this life is all about

Better to not die with a whimper

but to live to scream and shout..

I say...no one can find the spark of the soul until
you know you have one. One good poem is good for the whole day ....
Standing alone with love.. for sure..Tate thank you
