Lies of romance

sorenbarrett

A blind heart has no eyes no ears to hear kind tears 
A tongue paints alibis, dreams calm fears
Truth is soon forgotten but lies become immortal
Memory prefers thrills now rotten that flow from mouth's portal

Intuition is a condition that a few listen to
A proposition to an inhibition that out of nothingness grew
So sleep my child, soft visions will take you away
To lands of chocolate that never melts under the heat of day

                          Ah, intuition is a much needed ingredient, like rich, Belgian chocolate…sadly far too many hearts are not guided by it. Brilliant metaphor, my friend.

                                Your message is one to decipher. Lies can become truths if told often enough. This is a philosophical take on life—history repeats itself, and people continue to be fooled by the demagoguery of crooked leaders. I hope I understood the message correctly. Thank you for sharing.

                                  Thank you very much for the read and interpretation. They are most appreciated and valued.

                                  We must always keep our hearts open soren.

                                    Thank you Andy for the review and yes closing one's heart is akin to closing one's eyes. Appreciate the advice

                                    I always remember Homer Simpson dreaming of the Land of Chocolate. Nice one .

                                      What is more sensual and more of an aphrodisiac than chocolate? Thanks for the read and words of support they are appreciated

                                      Intuition is a powerful force, as well as a mysterious one. It cannot be explained. More often than not, it advises us for the better. But we prefer to throw away that advice. We might live to regret it. Intuition is a power that complements intelligence and reasoning. It operates on laws of its own. But the voice is distinctly there. We ignore it at our own peril.
