Heart Over Love? Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

Heart Over Love?

Rating: 5.0


What does counts most?
The heart over mind
'or vice versa?
Love over security
or vice versa?

The young contemplates,
Her intuition says:
'My heart of course!
It makes me happy
to love somebody
even if he's a nobody. '

Back of her mind, says otherwise:
'What if he's a bastard
and can't provide?
Will love sustains
when the nights become arrid? '

And finally declares:
' I think the heart matters most,
for in love the mind is under spell
to secure what the heart desires;
rather than the mind
without a heart.! '

The mature contemplates,
Her intuitons says:
' I am sure its the mind
that must rule over the heart!
I can be more happy
with a secured man! '

Back of her mind, says otherwise:
'But what if he loves his pride
and accolades more than me,
possess me only as trophy? '

And finally declares:
'I will hold on to the mind
over my heart,
for as long as he provides for me
then I will be just as happy! '

What does counts most?
The heart over mind,
or vice versa?
Love over secutiry,
or vice versa?

It's your call?

When one is young, the heart rules. At maturity, the brain takes over. Great poem.
