others may have wine, i have poetry

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.

And the human race is filled with passion.

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

present

aching ...yearning
longing
loved ...lonely
confused
in denial
yet acceptance??

a hopeless fear replaces
a fearless hope

outgoing
yet unable to express?
or maybe able to express yet can't?
engulfed by love
embraced by hate

at peace with the world
in war with self
