misery has no soul
there are those who says love does
I know not
love wears many guises
and . . .
although misery
nor love
have no tongues
both can speak in no uncertain terms
likewise when I hear them
I am beguiled
I am tormented
I accept them
as my due
I speak not to them
I’m like a shell
then again
I’m as existent
as misery and love can make me

Much thought here and gives the reader a little someting to ponder on as well. I think I will think on this awhile. Good one Jerry.
