When what the heart wants
    And what the brain knows
        Are at odds


Locked in a battle
   The two dual
      Each adding
          A small piece to the puzzle
      Each taking
          Control and writing a few words




I fear this is a stalemate
   A battle of equals
       To mutual extinction
   A cold war
       Which neither will win







How hard it is
   To live in this state
       Of not knowing
           Which is controlling
                My pen
                    This very moment

The title is a tribute to Rush's great song Cygnus X-1: Hemispheres, which I realized after I wrote this has a similar theme. If I only had half the lyrical talent of Neil Peart.

After returning from a major hiatus, finding that your poetry was in my Dev alerts made me happy. I love your art Lytjan. You're truly wonderful with words.

People can be and sometimes are gritty and grouchy and you might want to plow their heads in with a stick. But that’s what makes people truly falling in love so interesting.
