Writing.....

I completely forgot whether I posted my poem or not but in case I didn't, here it is. Enjoy

Joy.

Fleeting but real

Gushing and powerful, overwhelming the soul;

Outpouring of love

Blissful satisfaction unlike all else.

Heart meets head in one conjunction

As the head understands the cause of satisfaction

And the heart feels the delight beyond comprehension;

The soul is filled with heaven on earth,

Unlike anything ever seen or felt before.

Sorrow.

Ever-present, overtaking joy in one gulp

Sudden and scary, frighteningly

Eating away at the heart

And breaking down the reasoning of the head.

Robbery, thievery

The head protests in agony, like immersion in ice

As the heart grows cold

And darkness surrounds them both

As joy vanishes from the soul in a breath,

Doubtful if it will ever return

To fill the soul with itself.

Anger.

Gripping the heart with fist of steel

Crushing the head with iron hands,

Drowning the being in mindless agony

Nothing can melt the ice

Placed there by Sorrow

No cure can break the passion or bridge the gap

Between soul and world.

Isolation ensues

The spirit numbs

And the reign of terror descends to the heart

While the fear of sorrow seizes the head.

Longing.

Intensified by pain and loss

Flooding the heart with memories of joy

But no way to gain back the life lost

Nor the wholeness that has escaped

From the home of the heart

And the soundness of the mind.

Logic cannot explain the pain away.

Peace.

Surrounds the soul with bittersweet tangs

Life is not the same, and never will be

Yet the heart is calmed and the head is at rest,

Though the waters are deep

And the struggles are many.

Resignation.

Change has come and gone

And the heart has suffered much

But the head says, "This has happened"

And the soul can relax.

Memories will always remain a part

Of the heart, the head, and the soul.

Tears have fallen and battles been fought;

But the most difficult part has been accomplished

In acceptance

Of loss.
