ROMANCING MINDS

Romancing minds are ready

To withdraw a memory

When eyes stop talking

Hands stop sensing and hearts cease loving

Minds can carry on romancing

Recalling happy feelings to comfort weary souls

Trying to reconstruct scrambled moments

Of a desperate love story

Aiming at correcting lifelike details

To make reality look like a fairy-tale

Romancing minds are ready

To add a warm memory

To a gloomy cold romance

Failing in a trial to bluff hearts and souls

That never follow minds when they are romancing

Whereas romancing minds are the only minds

That follow hearts and souls
