Emile Pinet Poet Blank verse

An Emotional Bridge

Perpetual sadness,
should such a thing exist;
would be devastating
to fragile hearts and souls.

Love's an oxymoron
of clashing emotions;
sad tears and joyful tears
fight for recognition.

Craving intimacy;
you welcome caresses,
as massaging fingers
linger upon your skin.

But depression deepens 
when passion's flame dies;
and once devoid of love,
sex becomes meaningless.

Lust is an emotion
used to lure naive hearts;
any semblance of love,
is coincidental.

Far beyond physical,
love's a merging of souls;
an emotional bridge
that spans two lonely hearts.

Well done, Emile. Emile Pinet March 3, 2018 at 9:00 AM Thanks Line, your comments are most appreciated. Emile.

Richard Lamoureux May 30, 2015 at 12:52 PM This is a bridge to wisdom. I must admit in my younger days I did enjoy a few loveless passionate encounters. I however much prefer the intimate surrender that is part of an enduring love. Emile Pinet May 30, 2015 at 3:14 PM Thanks Richard, your comments are most appreciated. Emile.
