Brain Love

Brain Love

Grey matter  ... that’s the stuff

And deep among its folds

You will find Intelligence 

Our story to be told

The cerebellum ... reigns supreme

Where skills are aptly learned 

Where we became adapt

Each other’s traits discerned

The hippocampus helped us remember 

And processed how we felt

Recalling tender memories 

That steered our hearts to melt

Neurotransmitters regulated

As currants ebbed and flowed 

And with every sweet caress 

Neurons began to glow

The Brain stem rooted in the past 

Of ancient stirrings true

Provoked those primitive passions

We both longed to pursue 

Hemispheres, left and right 

thought processes divide

Each one focused singularly 

On how we identified

They say that only hearts can feel

The skull can only think

Or a crown that shows emotion

Simply needs a shrink

Yet any MRI would reveal

Our heads are both in tune

A cognitive reality

That brains can feel love too
