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 xxoo |
