Going Away

Another attempt at poetry!!!

Come away with me,
whispered the wind
as it caressed my face
but i stood strong
watched it blow away,
leaving me in a disarray.

Come away with me,
bellowed the ocean
as its waves tingled my feet
but i stayed where i was
as the waves receded
leaving me marooned.

Come away with me
crackled the fire
as its flames touched the sky
but i drew back
and watched it fade
leaving me in a cold state .

Come away with me
pleaded my heart
as it tried to show me the way
but i didnt listen and watched it go
i stayed with my mind
and was left empty behind.

staying with mind makes sense, unless u want the pain heart gives u (a la renu)
mind over matter they say, dont they?

cant help it if norah jones took my lines (before i did)... but u see my mind aint the thing to be trusted either... my mind never made sense.. although i have never really believed heart can think or decide.. bt it seems choosing heart means following what u want not listening to reason.. now doesnt that sound like me - unreasonable!

if ur mind never made sense, what are you fearing? actions directed by your mind would never bear evidence of following any reason

actions directed by my mind, as u say withot reason is not wat i want. because my mind never makes sense to me. i have to follow my reasons. they may seem unreasonable to others. but i dont care. "not listening to reason" is different from unreasonable.
