The Dangerous Mind of a Poet

Words cut deep, words take away-

the pain, the sadness, the anger

all those negative thoughts

that sink in so deep into your soul

Words take away, words cut deep-

the love, the happiness, the tranquility

all those positive thoughts

that sink in so deep into your heart

Words twist and bend to the will of the poet

while the mind & the heart are enslaved-

and by thoughts alone with each passing

experience one or the other changes

Forever at a stalemate-

the heart and the mind trying to over come

one another as if the two knew the inevitable truth

that reason and passion overcomes sanity

that the mind will corrupt and the heart will break

That sanity is a fantasy, and if such a thing exist

it seem unacceptable-
