Let that be a lesson
The mind brought
to its knees
by the body
will rise again
when the soul heals
Knowledge
only of the self
but love steps out
of the comfort zone
takes risks
will hazard a guess
takes no no
for an answer
just as the deer
flees across the hills
leaps over springs
hides within thickets
the hunter follows
in hot pursuit
until the prize is taken
The mind can harbour
only so many thoughts
only so many
mixed emotions
but love has its separate
ways and means
and will never
accept defeat
