Between the Head and the Heart

Thu, 10/13/2016 - 23:55 -- mak003

In the still of the night

My heart creeps into my mind

And all my feelings to which I am blind

Surface into images as my dreams unwind

 

Sleeping, burning, beating, sweat

The feelings in my heart start to spread

Consuming my mind until its fed

While I lay here wishing I could go to bed

 

Bubbling over in my head

Are the emotions you’ve ignite

In the darkness my feelings come to light

Flooding every dream, every thought, and every sight

 

As the sun begins to rise

The moon and my heart start to set

Sinking back down into my chest

But not for long are the two separate

 

Throughout the day

My heart beats, but my head finds

And drains the beat till the tempo dies

Filtering my emotions, but not all the lies

 

And hour after hour

My mind on you goes ticking way

Fabricating logic for why I feel this way

Conversing with you what I want you to say

 

When the clock strikes noon

For a moment I fell no longer

My heart is null and my head in power

As the voices of the night get louder and louder

 

Thinking, Singing, falling deep

Into the depths of an alluring tune

My elusive though have succumb to

That familiar song from last night’s moon

 

Dusk begins just on time

While my head catches onto the beat

The thoughts of my heart start to repeat

Stuck between the head and the heart, I fall asleep
