A Feeling That Never Gave Me Peace
Per night and day, each dawn a feeling came with the rise of sun,
a feeling devoid of truth and faith, but oddly full of treacherous fun –
That feeling was formidable, almost insurmountable, felt real and strong;
it truly touched deeply my heart, like the lyrics of Dolly Parton’s song.
Almost, I succumbed, and a hopeless hope interlaced my heart, again;
presenting with manifestations of greed and reflections of pain.
Peace till eternity unknown, hatred blazing within it like bonfire at night
from this feeling that never gave me peace but always stole my delight.
Mercy not shown to the anxieties I had felt and endured within my fears;
The chronicles of my sad love stories, like blurred vision, unseen from my tears –
It felt so fine, but with dire a deep vein hatred, like pure gold, I almost acted blind
Because that feeling disarms even a divinely charismatic man off his celibate mind;
A feeling of hateful love that invaded my heart, a sentiment of absolute imperfection
which offered me peace never but evermore, till yesterday, showered me with dejection.
