Emile Pinet Poet Sonnet

Confusion Confounds

No one faces lost love rationally,
forgoing all their romantic notions.
For confusion confounds reality,
when running a gauntlet of emotions.

Doubt anonymously attacks with guile,
its impact devastating to dreamers.
And fears flourish on the remains of trust,
disrupting slumber with nightmare screamers.

You've been fed a concoction of lies,
a highly emotional, potent mix.
And you're no longer able to forgive,
shielding your heart behind a wall of bricks.

Wallowing in your pain, you shun support,
as fantasies conceived in love, abort.

Connie Marcum Wong January 10, 2018 at 6:48 PM There is no pain quite like the loss of a lover. That pain can last a lifetime. You have conveyed this beautifully in your poem Emile.

Carole Duet October 12, 2017 at 10:19 PM Wow, Emile! Fantastic poem and a FAV for sure. But, even though the poem accurately and deeply depicts the feelings we have after having lost a lover and our eyes are opened to an unpleasant truth, I say, "Never give up!" :) Emile Pinet October 13, 2017 at 10:01 AM Thanks Carole, "Never give up!" is a healthy attitude that I whole heartedly concur with my friend, Emile.
