Logical Emotions

The battle between what we think and what we feel.

 LOGICAL EMOTIONS

 

The brain is analytical,

It  examines the facts.

Considering all actions,

Before it reacts.

 

A heart sings its songs,

Of love and despair.

Always searching for love,

While finding true love is rare.

 

The brain thinks.

A heart feels.

The brain questions.

A heart seeks appeal.

 

A heart can be broken.

The brain can be trained.

A heart can be hardened,

For coping when it’s pained.

 

A heart can be listened to,

And followed where it leads.

The brain gives logical thought,

To a heart’s wants and needs.

 

The brain is analytical.

A heart sings its songs.

But don’t trust in either,

They’re both often wrong.

THIS is very, very good in an intense sort of way. Anyway you are absolutely right, "They’re both often wrong."

The brain and the heart,
they are worlds apart,
one the opposite of the other,
even if they are brother to brother,
your poem is well penned,
other worlds to blend.

The heart is a muscle that resides in the chest. It is not connected to the brain except by bloodstream, at best. Never the twain shall meet.

lol, yes they both are not to be trusted easily at times. Still, there were given to us for a purpose. They own great possibility when used wisely and openly. Thanks for the great poem today. Use them both in balance, and ye shall prosper xo
