Hare-Brained Hearts Poem by John Sensele

Hearts seldom learn
Falling in love at first sight
Fantasizing, frolicking until they burn
Undergoing inside a topsy turvy fight.

Hearts, morbid hearts enable lightning to strike twice
Revising scenes of previous defeats
Hobnobbing with love lice
Assuming they're achieving fabulous feats.

Hearts, sleepy hearts nurture a crush
When hearts ought to fly higher
And forgo bristles of a broken-heart brush
That revives a baby-come-back fire in a sentimental spire.

Hearts, foolish hearts elevate mere mortals into icons
They'd best ignore
On computers, tablets and smart phones
But hearts prefer the thrill of a sensational snore.

Hearts, honest hearts believe suave suitors mean well
Although they advance no valid argument for such a grandiose claim
When heartaches swell their sadness scale
Lunging into a limbo a docile dame.
