…

Heart cooks up tales

of hope and light -

Culinary brilliance

out of absolute nothingness

Mind feeds on,

misled, unmindful

content,

slips into blissful slumber

While heart is at work

‘Feels good’ for a living

tempted smiles

induced glee

festival of dreams

Mind stirs up,

tormented by cackles

of happy reverie

rubbing eyes in disbelief

aghast at the mess…

Heart’s now a slave

to the seasoned mind

The pain shared by both

Mind has a heart of its own

Only soul is left to wander alone

aimless, baffled, numbed
