DIALOG OF BRAIN & HEART
Seven SEDOKA
Slow plod these new days.
They're ancient; nothing new here.
For what do I wait?
(My aching heart answers me:
"You miss old days of new Love!")
But where have they gone?!
I did not see them depart!
Will such days return?
(Once more my mourning heart speaks:
"Love did not leave YOU: YOU turned!")
It was a REFLEX!
So that I would not ACHE MORE!
Oh!, love should not hurt!
(And my tender heart replied:
"Returning-Spring brings Love New!")
WHAT! Love keeps Seasons?!
WHAT! Must I wait for Springtime?!
WHAT! I need Love NOW!!
(And my smiling heart tells me:
"Hearts need Love; Love needs TWO hearts!")
Ohhhhh!, THIS heart's READY!!
Ready to be O N E with Love!
As Poet and Muse!
(And my pensive heart suggests"
"Ready to be W O N by Love?!")
YES!! SOOOO ROMANTIC,
I long for intimacies!!
Oh!!, the DEEPEST kind!!
("You claim INTIMACIES, huh?!
Well, Love comes so CLOSE...you'll FUSE!!!!!)
I loved FINDING LOVE AGAIN and I read a few more of your works. I LOVE who you are!! I enjoyed reading your BIO page--I read that twice!!! Please keep writing. You are certainly very talented. I would like to know more about you. Feel free to email me.

"Springboarded" from D. Russell's "Am I Not Mad" as an exercise in Tanka / Hokku. I intend to match "Am I Not.." in a fuller fashion, thought-for-thought.....soon. Thank you D.r., you never cease to inspire this pen.
"Poe" I'm not, nor "Rich" am I,
but I'll be famous, b'ye and b'ye !
