BE ONE (VILLANELLE)

body-and-soul

 

 

 

 

 

 

I

When souls stray

Minds lead walks

As the bodies go astray

 

II

When bodies go astray

They do many talks

But they make no headway

 

III

Why will they make headway?

When their head their soul stalks

And their legs can’t lead the way?

 

IV

The body bumps in blocks on its way

Because the eyes with mouth have no talks

So there’s no alert mouth can say

 

V

Soul who is away

From who did you have talks

To take a stray?

 

VI

You’re keeping body and soul at bay

Do you want to be arrested and put in locks

Like a prisoner who tends to sway?

Stop this before you with body decay!

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)

It is interesting the way you phrase it. I often do have the same kind of thoughts. How people will say one thing but their body is saying something else. Or on the other side people will talk out the side of their neck, totally off the wall. While all the while you’re saying to yourself where did that come from. A mind is a terrible thing to waste but in some cases you first must have one in order for it to be wasted
