(From One to the Other)
Other: "Your heart understood mine in the
depth of the night.
I listened and ravished so, to your
beloved voice
Your heart understood mine."
One: "The heart is a thumbnail that races to
stay put, to stay on
Variety in time.
It races to battle. The heart cheats to win."
Other: "The heart is a sloppy, pulsing thing, it
has no authority over its own weakness"
One: "The heart lies."
Other: "The heart does not lie, that is why one
must hate and fear it
Not a one of us is capable of embracing a
truth so raw and living."
One: "The heart deceives. That's why one does hate and
love it.
It's the most talented magician of us all."
Other: "If the heart be a magician, than I guess I am a
believer of magic.
We stand in awe of what we cannot fathom, for is it
possible that some things in this world ARE real?"
One: (who's heart says nothing)
Other: You are an idiot, and I am done with your
ignorance.
Your cheating heart has won, and yet,
it has lost so gravely."
Brilliant use of a casual dialogue form for a very profound poem!
