Passions of a Poet

Passions of a Poet

This is my passion, free flowing words
Cast upon the parchment in waves
Of utter bliss, contempt and hatred
Combined. This heart, the very one
which beats deep within my chest,
It aches to know all, and yet nothing
At the same time. It yearns for
Something not real, yet there, ethereal
And clear, full of hope, yet also despair.

From a distance, I stand, smiling brightly,
Yearning for something in dreams, but
Knowingly unreal. Some kindship, it's there
I can feel it! But, bittersweet this is for me.
To share such dreams, what a wild sense
Of security! I linger, in thoughts, wondering
And hoping that this is not real, but wishing
That it is.

(c) 2003 A Riddle

My, my, my. This certainly is poetry. Your style is unique but it speaks to the public like a warm familiar. Greatly written.

"It aches to know all, and yet nothing
At the same time." --This is a catch 22 of emotions! WHO hasn't thought this in MANY situations? You know how to spin a mind in circles without much effort! This is filled with anguish beyond ...the great beyond.

Thanks,
Emilie
