Deceitful heart
Why cross the line
You may not come back this time
The heart loves what it wants
Justifies what is feels
So don't set your heart up for a fall
If it feels good
You will return for a call
What once seemed so wrong
Has now changed your song
Rhymes and reasons
Are now your defense
That's why God says
Guard your heart
Protect its innocence
The addiction of desire
has its own voice
chains of yearning
direct your course
you try to fight it
but, your heart has made its choice
to feed into your crave
although the last time
you promised to behave
oh but deceitful heart
has blinded your eyes
blocked your ears
clouded your mind
this hold so strong
keeps you confined
to its prison of longing
of thirsting, hungering.
Addiction is the spirit
The objects are the chains
Be they, money, sex, food
Drugs, gambling even pain
It does not matter
for addiction has you in the game
the object of your desire
is what fuels it's fire.
To get out of the losers sport
You must surrender,
give God your heart
before compromise
tears you apart.
Losing your soul is not
worth following your heart
"Losing your soul is not
worth following your heart"
Wow! This was a powerful piece. Anytime I read your soul-guiding poems I feel as though you are witnessing each time. This is a powerful piece!
