Ilk and Beauty

Ilk and Beauty

A Poem by Tony Rivera
"

I wrote this a bit ago as well from when my hope in life was reinstilled, and please note that right now i am in a big rut in my writing and in life, and since i refuse to write anything depressing it will be a while before i put up anything new

"






When the ilk


of life


smothers your heart


with a cloud of sorrow





hold fast


to the beauty of life


the hope


and the dreams you keep near and dear





never give in


to the temptation


the incubus and the succubus


that is death





for true eternal peace,love and joy


shall only find you


somewhere among


the violent sea, life





and should you


find yourself


battered and bound to a corner


break away and face whatever it is


that holds you, with a stubborn heart.
