I write what I feel…

My Head, My Brain, My Mind

.

My head says one thing,

But I can’t make up my mind.

My brain tells me, ‘No’,

But my mind cannot decide.

.

There is no unity between the three,

They all seem doomed to disagree.

‘Mind over matter’, or so the saying goes,

So, what’s the matter with my mind?

.

‘Out of sight, out of mind’ is another,

So tell me, my brother,

Is it possible to leave my mind behind

And thus be out of my mind?

.

I can lose my mind or lose my head

But if I lost my brain, I would be dead.

I am a middle-aged South African woman, living in Johannesburg. I began writing poetry towards the end of May 2010. I love animals – sometimes more than people! I am back after a break. Thanks for still being here, if you are! Missed you! xxx

  6. So funny, Denise. I saw a T-shirt once that went something like,,,

    ‘ I’ve gone to find myself.
    If I get back, before I do,
    Hold me here, until I get there.’
    Your poem in a nutshell, Nice post.

    • I think I’ve fixed it. Actually re-posted it. Thanks, Paul. No idea what happened, lol!

      I really don’t ‘do’ awards, Paul. I am honoured, but really can’t accept. This is personal and private so please don’t press me. I love you for the compliment, OK. God bless you.

    • I more-than-love them, Ben! Such wonderful things, some with the same spelling and different meaning, all the nuances… there is a word describing every feeling including mixed feelings… I seem to discover new ones every second day. 😀
