I give you up
And laughter
Convulses the whole
Of me
A single tear escapes
From where I hid
My sorrow
And I chastise her
For her betrayal
A single Tear
Tells the secret
Of my heart
As it struggles
On one foot
In need
Of some balance
I let you go
Along
With the colorful
Butterflies
That rented my stomach
For a season
I cannot have you near
With pompous pain
Attached
I cannot
You cannot barge in here
And upset my mind
So I turn to leave
With
My heart in place
My lips upturned
A lone tear forgotten
And some sweet
Bitter-sweet love
Forfeited.
is not all the world a dramatic irony with the events of everyday its component parts? though there is continual famine in the lean poor man`s house, the mouth of the pot-bellied rich man is always full.he who is wont to enjoy life quickly looses it while he lives long who struggles to live,and long does he struggle!we make promises we cant keep and fail to mention those things that are in our capacity to fulfill; and when we think we`ve seen enough there comes the irony of love .you know a sage once noted that sometimes to love means to let go.how sad and ironic is this life!

We learn to deal with the harsh realities ;-)
ReplyDeleteAmma, the I/you tittle caught my attention. i think its a good concept, though i feel it would have been a great concept if you had used it throughout the poem. you get what i mean? the tittle says "i/you", but the poem says "I"..."you cannot barge in here..." (That was the only 'you' subject used) A few more of the 'you' and the 'I' interwoven might enhance the concept. ;-)

ReplyDeletehehehe, sanity is straight-jacket! lunacy is freedom!
