Strands Into Gold by Cindy Georgakas

Head and Heart by Shalini
Head and Heart by Shalinisite: https://poemsbyshalini.blog/ My head and heart are in constant conflict,They pass me messages difficult to decrypt.When the heart wants to philosophize,The head wants to theorize and rationalize. I try to intervene, to find a middle ground,To reach a place and decision that is sound.But, its impossible to find truce between both,Sometimes it seems, they, each-other loathe. When the heart says speak, the head says stop.When…
