Feelings: Irrational Reptile Fighting Blind Emotion Poem by Margaret Alice

Charismatic Steve charmed Janine into loving him without
wise consideration, blindly following her heart while he
destroyed her life through deceit

Proving a life ordered by logic is a pre-requisite for happiness;
a guarantee against deceit - blind passion can ruin a life,
opposing the passionate soul

Prevents emotional disasters – but MY feelings still rule,
I’m not a rational human as yet, I admit to being a
crocodile, an irrational reptile

Fighting against blind emotion, trying to subject love
to the highest wisdom, even if it should

as broken-hearted

Forsaken Janine has found out to her cost…
