A Heart And Mind Poem by Phil Soar

A heart already weakened can be broken quite at ease
A heart that's torn in two is very difficult to please
A heart that's lost its will to beat, can never really last
A heart that's lived for love before, must now look to the past

A mind that's been to many places, searching for the truth
Can recall within a moment, all its memories of youth
But called upon to see the future, many minds would crack
A mind that has no future, is forever looking back

A love that's lost its sparkle, seems to wither like a rose
Infected with a poison, it recoils, no longer grows
And when that love refuses to lie down and die in pain
The heart and mind will suffer, until control returns again

An emotion in the heart and mind, of someone in control
Can reach a depth of meaning, only found within the soul
A single glance, a single phrase, can rock it to the core
And make you wonder what on earth emotions are all for

In many ways, a truth in life is sometimes hard to find
It may prove quite impossible, and be the hurtful kind
And if when heart and mind are one, no matter what the cause
Time will ease the pain you feel, and put your love on pause
