What thinketh thou, fellow poets?
Are we cursed or blessed
That we feel emotion so completely
That all consuming pleasure/pain
We call it love
We race to embrace it
Thoughtless as a child in our greed
Sensuously, shamelessly plundering
Each new sensation
Then too like a child
Bewildered by the sudden pain
When that last sweet drop is gone
Berefit to find only bitter remains
So the question's the same
Are we then cursed
.... or blessed?

Blessed be the poet who writes of their
heart,  the crimson blood of their soul upon
the quill,  lain openly upon the parchment
that all might read and know...that they
too are a poet..

Both definitely . . .
peppermint, I would have rather felt all
emotion, even in the deep dark, blak of night and then again in the sun shining upon my face . . .

Good vs evil truly
awesome thoughts
