When it comes to things a person's "heart" has a say-so in, things don't always make sense.

MATTERS OF THE HEART
So simple
It seems
So predictable
When the tidal wave
Of love
Engulfs
New lovers
And eyes
See only
One another

Then the human
Has its way
Jealousy
And grass across the fence
Join misunderstanding
Confusion
And
Love builds its walls
Of defense

Intentions
Go their way
Words
Don't always
Say
Their meanings
And pain
Sets a course
Of weird actions
And nonsense

Try
As one may
Desperate wishes
Manipulations
Spats and
Attempts in vain
Expose
The futility
Of controlling
Matters of the heart
