So That's That !

In my heart of hearts,
I have plenty of room to love.
Also, to play my music and to write down my thoughts.
My heart aside, my family's in my soul...
....and that's that.

In the chambers of my mind,
well, that's a different subject, with different rules.
Firstly, we're all ruled by our hearts.
For in an instant, we're so able to change our minds...
....and that's that.

Also, all things involving matters of the heart,
are very often mind alterating,
causing great friction in between heartbeats, that tick away;
and that's completely unspeakable...
....so that's that.

One thing that I cannot, and will not do-however,
is to try and pit one against the other,
for the results could be catastrophic !
Heart exploding, and mind blowing, perhaps...
....so that's that !

So when all is said and done,
we all know exactly where I stand.
Matters of the heart cannot, and will not be considered and debated,
within the confines of the mind...
....so that's that !

Christie...

....you didn't read it wrong, you never do. Your comments are always right on, and appreciated. The two people were different thinkers. One thought with their heart, and the other with their mind. It confused me for a bit, because I care greatly for them both...so, I had to write this to clarify MY thinking. I hope that makes sense.....does it ? You're a diamond in MY eye, doc.
