William J. Jr. Atfield Poet Rhyme

Conflicted

Conflicted

Could it be possible to fain ambivalence ?,
in a world full of pain, in pain without romance
and love from the heart and soul of one's desire.

All the while, this one's heart is still on fire,
pining away for the one who, a funeral pyre
is the last place this heart, she has relegated.

Realization !, that is where this one has been fated
to live out his end days in quiet desperation.
For so many, it has become our coarse, our destination.

Jr. Atfield June 12, 2013 at 4:28 PM Hello Mandy : It is nice to see a word or two from you my Dear, and thank you for the understanding comment, even though the subject matter has long passed. Resurrecting the past and bringing it into the present has been an adventure and an eye opener as I have been transcribing the past seven years of hand written material into my blog and into poetrysoup, along with some current material . Enjoy if you will !! Bill .

Jr. Atfield June 11, 2013 at 6:10 PM I am truly flattered Skat, that you think “ wow, / great pen ” and as I read through your “ Sleeping With The Enemy ” I can not help but feel, that you know intimately, the essence of Conflicted, and probably more of my stuff, which I hope that I am wrong about .
