Ratiocination

You my friend
weighs every word I have every said,
and keep them in your indulged mind, reasoning over it,
rationalizing every piece,
debating it to the hilt
till you can draw a ratiocination
in your overthinking mind

And I often wonder
with such resentment
dwelled within you
will you ever find time
give my love an unadulterated glance

  1. Ratiocination…another word I never knew existed. I love how the last line completely changed the mood of the poem. 🌸💜

  2. I had to open the dictionary at the title itself😄
    Let me say you express the thoughts that lie dormant in some corner of our brain and heart and when we read this we are like,oh yes this thought crosses my mind too😊
    You give words to thoughts❤
