My practical side
questions the validity of my reasoning,
the sanity of my emotions. It wants
weights and measures,
proof and subsistence.
Yet the lover in me
looks for the truth in his eyes,
the desire in his kiss,
the passion in his heart,
the pleasure in his smile.
Yet, if we wish to believe in the fortitude
of love, we must love
without insecurity.

on the one hand some of this works, but on the other hand some of it doesn't. what if the some of both hands are more than your hole, shit, it would be like you were ambidexthingy

Thanks for reading. It is not so much about two distnict halves as it is about which side is winning...

I like the debate your poem is having with itself Moonshyne.

I think we need our practical sides to help protect us from getting to bumped up and we need our inner lovers to protect us from getting to lost in the 'practical' side of things.

Thanks for reading Cate...
