Hearts Deceive

When you find someone special and hope that you are meant to be, but then realize that a heart sometimes misleads.

My brain tells my eyes what to see.
My eyes see you.
My skin feels you.
My heart doesn't skip a beat
Yet my skin feels your body heat.
Automatically my heart is attracted,
Yet my brain says not to be.
So my eyes try to turn from you
As our skin collides through our meet.
My heart is confused,
To be or not to be?
Healing, is the touch of another human being.
Yet my heart is so misleading.
My brain shouts,
"Listen to me!"

Didja ever think about having an attitude
adjustment ? It is not very expensive and
it will do wonders for your dating life.
Just go to ----- in your mind you create the
world------Buddha.
You sound perfectly normal. Everybody
has to have an adjustment at some time in
our lives.
You see the problem clearly in your poem,
so it will be easy for you.
Thanks for the brilliant poem.

This was great and so true. I have been through this before many times. Found a man so hot and I wanted to be near him and talk to him, but then when I was it wasn't what I thought it would be. I thought I would feel that heart skipping and cant breath normal when he was near. That didn't happen, yes he was good looking and he could do things with his hands that didn't have to be sexual, but it just wasn't what I thought it to be. I want that kiss and touch that makes my body feel on fire and my mind to see fireworks:)
lol, sorry I keep going sometimes.

I love it when people can relate to my poetry, you're not saying too much, I promise! :)

The heart and mind never agree... one is logical and one is emotional... that is the balance of human nature. I like this poem... a nice humorous touch to it.

[Meliss@k]

i'm glad that you find it humorous, because it wasn't meant to be... i was so stinkin frustrated with my "on-off" switch of feelings toward guys that I wrote this... BUT i really enjoy hearing how poetry touches people in many different ways, so I enjoyed hearing that you found it a bit humorous. :)
Thank you for your kind review!

The heart and the mind. Never do they really come together when it comes to a person of interest.
I like how nicely this flowed. Didn't feel mechanical. Nice use of description.
This was a very nice piece.
Nice write.

[Meliss@k]

It's true. It's true.
Thank you so much! I'm trying to work on my poetry not sounding too mechanical. :)
Thank you for your kind words.
