11: Where do Your Emotions Lie?

Is your heart the central port?
It quickens when lustful thoughts arise
and jolts when shocked by death or fear.
So is your heart the central port?

Is your stomach the vital source?
It houses butterflies when nerves are high
and flips when bad news, comes calling by.
So is your stomach the vital source?

Is your head the essential place?
It aches when pressured by cares and worries
and fills with a rosy haze when you fall in love.
So is your head the essential place?

Is your skin the sacred store?
It tingles with sweet anticipation
and crawls when revulsion touches.
So is your skin the sacred store?

Every cell of your being,
pulses with life itself.
Your body knows more than you.
So beware my dear friends,
learn this lesson well.
You are, your emotions,
they do not, within you dwell.
You cannot block them out,
though you may try to fool yourself.
Embrace them, bid them welcome;
hear what they have come to tell.
