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!

Cheers Tate. I wondered if you wld send me this one after you mentioned it a couple of weeks back. I agree with the poem. But as a creature in the grip of my mind rather than my heart I always have difficulty living by the heart. And, let's face it, if someone needs to make a conscious decision to live by the heart then it is not genuine, and a little ironic if you think about it. Ach, that word, thinking! I confess I also had a startling vision as I read. I saw -- the same scene, except it was my heart lying there -- my mind was crouched about it weilding a knife, plunging the knife into the heart vigorously. The mind, the murder done, stood up and walked off -- all in silence. The heart never stood a chance.
Another beautiful and amazing poem from you. lovely. I have come to expect great and profound writings from you. Somewhere I feel they all mirror your personal feelings
Amen to that, you know I found love once I accepted the fact that love opens the heart to pain.. the brain would like to save you from that.. but love can't be logical .. love is exciting and we all know that exciting things have thier dangers , but who wants to live a life without excitment..anyhow well said.
Beautiful work Tate, one of my new favorites here. It really is devestating to see two people in life that share so much time together. We dont mean to, but we grow close as time goes by. It builds a relationship between those two people. Just not seeing the two people go one step futher can obviously hurt one badly. Awesome write here.
