Love.
strength resides there,
embodied the presence of meaning,
demands foreseen
whispering devotion
once spoken, it lingers
as a haunted ghost
expectations forthcoming…
Sorry.
forgiven or not
inevitable the mistakes we endure
choices and decisions sorrowfully playing
keystrokes of emotion,
yet bound by self gratification
a minuscule moment in time
that can…
Hurt.
deep inside
unjustly wronged
pain ensued, heartfelt despair
alone, bewildered
a breaking heart
forsakenly demised to…
Hate.
so strong
immeasurable the weight of which bears down
animosity, angst
burdened there the forsaken,
unrelenting despise and disgust
scared, this could be everlasting…
Hope.
Love. will resurface
Sorry. if forgiveness can not find its way
Pain. residing in what once was a safe place
Hate. seething its way into overflowing veins
Hope. that tomorrow will be better
what is one little word, anyway?
wow. yeah it happens.
ReplyDeleteand welcome back.

Great poem. Very powerful are these little words.
ReplyDeleteWhat an universal, all-encompassing emotional poem, and so well stated, Kay! With those "little" words.
ReplyDeleteFirst two stanzas remind me of the book and movie, Love Story. In it are those words, ever-famous: "People who are in love never have to say they're sorry!" Now, THAT'S gotta be REAL love...
Where've you been?
ReplyDeleteWOW you have hit on every emotion....beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you have posted, I was beginning to worry about you.....big hugs......:-)
deep. very deep Kay!
ReplyDeleteI feel that these are simple words from the depths of the soul.
ReplyDeleteKay,
I missed, I waited,
hugs with love
WOW, shows the rainbow of emotions. Kay, missed oyu, good to hear (read) from you. Started to get worried. Hugs across the pond
ReplyDeleteThis reads well aloud and the tapestry of emotions unfolds, or rather, unrolls smoothly. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteOne little word?
ReplyDeleteOne little word?
Every single word here has been wisely chosen to convey such a deep message.
Such are words... which give sense to IT all, once put in the correct order in our minds and soul... only to become poetry...
As this piece>>> a masterpiece--Which only YOU can do!
Glad you are back!
;)
One word,, Glad : you are back..and OK,,
ReplyDeleteThere were five words...and I thought of the five stages of grief, and here five stages of love, or more the cycle of love. Never static...it moves between these five and their off shoots, organic.
