fruitless pursuit

fruitless pursuit

And the tempest that roars in man's heart,

that blazes in man's soul,

can it be quelled,

can it be quenched?

And the storm that rages in man's mind,

that engulfs man's thoughts,

can it be calmed,

can it be quieted?

Mental vise winds tight.

Torque torments each thought.

Ideas twist to tantalize brains.

Pain pounds emotion's center.

Strain cavitates the inner torso.

Relief sought, returns unrequited.

And the rampage that ravages man's life,

that tears asunder man's hope.

can it be arrested,

can it be salvaged?

And the force that strikes man's affection,

that afflict man's desires,

can it be shielded,

can it assuaged?

Faith flails fecklessly forward.

Hope haunts human hearts.

Love languishes lamented longing.

Destiny dangles dumbly down.

Potent problems pilfer power.

Passion's pity permeates persona.

A Long

Someone asked, "What would your life be without color?" I answered, "My life would be pallid and pale without color. Each day would be drab, dreary and dismal. There'd be no primary colors, no rainbows, no yellow sunshine, no red-blue-yellow sunsets and no white clouds. No white snow or black storm clouds. I'd walk in an indistinct and neutral existence. No green trees, no green grass, no blue seas, no blue skies, would leave me cheerless and dry. My face would not turn red with anger or embarrassment. My face would not turn white with fear or pain. I'd not grow green with envy. Nothing would be just black and white. My life would be full of motionless emotion, if there were no color. © 2013 ajwrites57 Image URI: http://mrg.bz/fwDYZp Image URI: http://mrg.bz/g6haeq By Hairysuncold Please find my other writings on Hub...

Love Builds - Love Makes

These poems are dedicated to my friend +kim hodges and to new love. Love Builds MARCUZZI AND FRA By lufra Love builds, blossoms, blooms. Love covers, hovers, discovers. Love flowers, showers, empowers. Love thinks, remembers, forgets. Love grows, knows, shows. Love shields, yields, heals. Love finds, blinds, binds. © 2013 ajwrites57 A Long Love Makes Love makes you fly, gets you high. Love makes laugh, makes you cry. Love makes you sigh, makes you wanna try. Love gets you giddy, makes you feel pretty, Love empowers you to take a city! Love makes you happy, makes you feel sappy. Love makes your heart sing, Love gives you thoughts of queens and kings. © 2013 ajwrites57 A Long Photo By CynthiaNaniOKeefe If you enjoyed these poems, find more here.
