Tricky Heart

I barely know my heart anymore
whenever I turn a corner it is ready
to once more betray me
as it has become fond of doing
whenever I wield my wisdom and poise
it trips me
makes me stumble and
fall
wraps my body in a coat of childish
silliness
and happiness in the moment
not caring what the future holds
not remembering fears or pains
just enjoying the totally foolish
songs
that it carries
from meeting a new face
and a new heart to share with
