an odd tale


Unrequited hate
earthed passion ---- lust gone wrong
dare we say
affection
kindled –if not . . .

If not, what we
cannot, dare not say — lest we commit
commit
to
commitment.

Passion run to earth
metamorphosed – changed utterly
unlikely
outcome
kindled.

Love unlikely
unlikely passion – utterly changed
unrequited
hatred,
passion earthed.

Okay. I get it. Don't I? I think I do. Oh. Well, I get it enough to like it. Deep? Donna. I'm standing in ankle-deep water. Ain't deep to me. But to the little fishes swiming around my ankles, it's just deep enough. But I ramble. Ramble I must.

okay...i'll bite!
in the realm of unrequited....anything, the depth of empty emotional apathy is charged by the longing for fulfillment. an end or an outlet to express the desired emotional supression.
given the paradox....in such an instance...ones commitment may lead to being committed...for a time.

commitment. " So many do not understand that.
