Emotions - appended

Emotions

too tender, yet hard to deal with 

harsh memoirs from events in the past

flash back to haunt and irk                                                                                 

thwarting your journey towards a fresh start.

 

Emotions

meant to be lived peacefully with

to be transmuted and let flow

for they can be managed, not curbed          

indifferent to whatever you chose to show.

 

Emotions

you dismiss, pretending they don’t matter

whereas all the while they do

repressing and burying them

denying yourself the love, treasured only by a blessed few.

 

Emotions

the odd pleasure yet aching comprehension

of that humane self that exists in a few

within the silent depths of the throbbing heart

not yet numb to the despair around you.

 

Emotions

need to be felt regardless of what they bring

be it a sense of perennial loss or the pain of obscure cure

for being strongly connected to your emotional self

is something that your soul will always adjure ~

[Coyote Poetry]

I like the use of the word emotion. Each set of lines added to the definition of thoughts and purpose in the poem. Nice flow of thoughts leading reader to a strong ending. I like the thoughts and questions raised up by the excellent poem. Thank you.
