As I walk along the narrow path
Far away from the din of the city crowd
I feel the pain of sadness envelop me,
A symphony of stubborn sadness
That resides in the inner depths of my soul.

At the forest rim, a vast valley stretches.
Unknown farmers toiled on their trucks.
She will not find me at the forest’s edge.
Do I want to encounter her anew?
She is a symphony of steady, unruly moods.

I approach a farm, yet despite the summer breeze,
I find no joy nor pity, no undying love or hatred.
Sorrow lingers as indecision wrecks my peace.
I yearn for simple silence, yet in that calm around
Thoughts thunder, thriving on troubles and worry.

Can I find a warm and bright surrender to my turmoil?
My heart is like a see-saw, now up, now down.
I feel her soft lips turn into anger that knows no bounds.
What is love really like?  I want delight and happiness.
I find animosity and antipathy.  No, no.  There is also
Strong feelings of adulation, allegiance, and amity.

As fear creeps in, I knock on the farm door.
Beauty opens for my embrace.  The kiss is long.
Hope shines as we enter the warm hearth.
“Breakfast is ready, my love.”  We eat in ecstasy.

Victor your passion is always demonstrated in your Poetry. This one reminds me of my parents. Relationship are not always perfect and they are like you said. " See-Saw." Up and down and it creates worry for one of the partners. Worried of their wives reaction, her being in a state of anger. Cest La Vie my friend. No relationship is perfect. Wishing health and safety for you and your daughter. This one brought memories of my parents Victor, thanks for sharing my friend...
