Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Heart and Mind

When it comes to matters of heart,

The mind is often on defense,

And for a while does stay apart

To ponder if there is offense.

But the heart sends fresh blood to

The mind and mixes this within

More and more pressure to pursue

Taking the chance outside the skin.

And so the mind gives the heart some

Time and space for the follow up.

Should the heart's faith turn unwelcome,

The mind is quick to respond, yup!

When badly the trial run does go,

Mind tells heart, "See, I told you so."
