The conscious mind’s had no real rationale
to explain unreasoned romantic acts;
endocrinology, however, shall
provide new answers, based on sounder facts.
This system, ruled by lobes within the brain,
initiates emotions chemic’ly;
adrenals startle, endorphins numb pain
and hormones stimulate systemic’ly.
This balance of drugs, dispensed with the aid
of circulatory transportation,
brought about assumption that what conveyed
must also be cause and explanation
for hot-blooded passions at war with mind,
but hearts only pump what brains have designed.

Haha, nice. Did you write that or did you find it somewhere?
 
It's mine. I apologize for not realizing poetry is inappropriate here, however.
