Benjamin Schlueter Poet I do not know?

Blissful

Dreams, oh so fragile
Like a string caught on fire
Only to sever, shrivel, and vanish
Right before your eyes

You think you've seen the light?
All you have seen is stars, glimmering
Until they implode
Turning to more darkness

A pain in my side
Takes pain to give life, takes pain to die
Nothing can pardon pain
Life, is a placebo

Savor the pain
With rewards comes suffering
Enjoy the pain, every ounce
Drop by drop

Silence is blissful

Brenda Victoria Northeast January 8, 2012 at 9:02 PM Is the cup half full or half empty they say- it is all how we view the view or taste the taste- to me life is wonderful but better is coming, all the very best, brenda Benjamin Schlueter January 8, 2012 at 9:11 PM Thanks for the comment. The cup question has always perplexed me, I hear it all the time. You never know what is in the glass, nor do we measure the exact amount that is in it. It simply 'looks' half full. Best to take chances, drink, and find out while you can :)
