Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem
We always knew, or felt we knew, that love
Is not just heart, that it was mind as well,
Some kind of mind at least, perhaps above
The rationality of brain to make that swell
To something greater, colored like a star
Expanding, or a galaxy that meets
Another and they mingle, heart ajar
For mind to detonate with godlike beats
We always want in passion caused by god
Or gods like Cupid, even Allah might
Be welcome in this mix. The mind is awed,
Though. Heart wins. Daylight overwhelms a night.
Men almost never know what’s really true
— But I do. This is so because of you.
