Grief

Tickle me and I'll laugh,

But do it but once.

Uncontrolled laughter,

Can bring tears to my eyes.

 

Oh to be merry

And cast worries aside.

Yes, one must grieve

When sadness arrives.

 

There is a time for mourning,

As it can consume you.

But bury not your self,

With the departed, in grief.

 

Sorrow has its moments

That can last a long time.

Some may never know

How it has welled within them.

I totally understand grief. It can at times consume me, but I choose to let it inspire me. This is so beautiful

Yes, many seem to hold on to grief way too long. The sooner we face our sorrow, the quicker we can get back to life. As usual, very clear and cogent.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
