Disillusioned

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A simple infusion of love and hate,

topped off by delusion’s, still we

procrastinate.

 

Desperate times call for desperate

measures lost in a world of sinful

pleasures.

 

The outcome uncertain, still we count

scores of years, hopeless romantics

choking back all the tears.

 

Courage and faith to all who believe,

eternal madness deranged deceived.

Love and hate go hand in hand, I’m a

survivor in a hostile land.

 

Waxing poetics, every word every

thought, emotive elusive beguiled

and distraught.

 

Daunting whispers that fill the soul

one step closer to losing control.

Hidden heartaches etched in stone

we were never meant to be alone.

U are the true king of poetry loved the poem .

[My Fair Lady]

If man is- that he may have joy and fulfillment; life experiences too rich not to share, it seems to me that all too often we are alone- even in a room full of people.. humans are selfish and forget each other. Just another therory :)

[Seashell]

You are right Joe..what would be the fun in being alone ? We all need someone to share the laughter, tears, happiness and sadness with. Whether it be one person or 2 or 3...or a whole bunch...is not relevant. Humans are made to share. In life we find the ones that we are more comfortable with to share 'this' with and others to share 'that' with. We don't necessary share ALL with one being. But whatever we share...it's not all a party...That's life as we know it.

Great poem here.
Thanks so much

this one flows like a weeping song~ a tragic ~ lyrically penned poetic~

[Geralyn Miller]

nicely penned! Love and hate are two sides to the same coin, hate cannot exist without love. You are wise enough to understand that the opposite of love is no feeling. Staying in an unsatisfactory relationship simply to have someone is a very sad way to live; a lifeway that can cause you to look back with regret one day.

[Ladysue]

This was very lyrical. love and hate, flip sides of passion...I thought this had great depth and emotion....excellent writing...

[Jūdan FyreHeart]

Great job packed full of emotion. It's almost doleful as the realisation of how trapped you really are while trying to maintain the happiness. Great write =D

[Sweet & Tender Hooligan]

A heartfelt emotional poem that I can relate to these days. Love and hate do go hand in hand that's a powerful and true line. 'Hidden heartaches etched in stone we were never meant to be alone.' That's a beautiful way to end your poem.

simply amazing; the contrast is reality combined into poetic fantasy - that is what i love about your writing - you experience life through every spectrum - a wise soul
