Heart

Can we hold our heart
In one hand tightening
Or relaxing our grasp at will,
Can we stop ourselves
Tripping and falling into love.
Or, is our conscious mind
Subservient to our heart.
If love is a leap of faith,
Is it a voluntary vault into
We know not what or are
We hardwired to believe
To love and to be loved
Is all there is to life.
Everything else is
Just so much paper,
And even then we judge
Ourselves by how much love
We give rather than just receive
And are astonishingly conscious
Of our own self’s Conscience.
I think we are designed
By Mother Nature
Rather than our
Conscious
Mind as
The former
Seeks survival
Of the species while
The latter seeks
Only to avoid
Pain and
Seek
Pleasure,
Though we are
Able to bend we
Are at heart all
Benthamites,
Kudos to
Jeremy.
