Thank you for your explanation. I thought this was happening to you from your poem. It must be hell to suffer such a disorder where one day you are feeling high and the next day very low. Our family has Agoura phobia and it hasn't been pleasant for my sister and my niece. Poetry like this can help enlighten everyone on the mental conditions life traps us in.
Excellent verse. Was tempted to scold you until I read the "epilog." So many get caught up in the on again - off again nature of love. What most don't realize is that our demons of commerce have sold us this load of bull in order to perpetuate the myth that love is contingent on what you wear, your mouthwash, your car, etc., to rekindle the flame. True love is pervasive and starts with self. Through this same love we are linked to God's creation and therefore we are never really alone.
This is simply brilliant! And good evidence that the best of poets can reach beyond the veil and illuminate dark places where angels fear to tread. I am flabbergasted at your talent.
I've self described myself as bi-polor, especially during those lost decades of my past. I destroyed everything good around me. I still radically shift my moods, but since I am alone it doesn't hurt anyone but me.
