Kelly Deschler Poet Quatrain

Cursed

Is this some cruel joke you're playing
or am I cursed to go through life alone?,
Each time I become close to a new friend
you take them away and I'm left on my own.

My heart was broken at this time last year
when you took away my friend and "brother",
and it almost happened all over again, when
yesterday, I came close to losing another.

I was so lucky to have known new friends
who welcomed me like family in recent years,
some people say you gave me the gift to write
but, are my poems doomed to always end in tears?
    







(For Chris... please stay well, my friend)

Andrea Dietrich October 4, 2015 at 1:45 PM So sad, Kelly. I don't know Chris, but I pray he stays well. Kelly Deschler October 14, 2015 at 2:16 PM Thank you for keeping him in your prayers, Andrea. Chris is a friend and fellow poet from another site. He had some serious health issues earlier this year, so it was upsetting to learn that he was in the hospital again. Thankfully, he is home now and doing well :)

Justin Bordner September 21, 2015 at 6:51 PM As long as you have possession of your heart and soul, and can infuse your work with them then there is no doom for your eyes Kelly. We must live above and beyond self pity so to honor our lives, and Creator. Life is not meant to make this noble goal easy, we must learn to grow strong through suffering, afterall, suffering is a natural teacher. I really admire how you comfort this soul in sorrow by illuminating your own grief so honestly Kelly...J.A.B. Kelly Deschler September 26, 2015 at 11:48 PM Your comments are filled with wisdom and are so uplifting. They've given me hope for the future. I appreciate them so much, Justin :)

Emile Pinet September 13, 2015 at 10:59 AM An outpouring of emotions that surges up from the heart and splashes against the page in quiet defiance. Emile. Kelly Deschler September 20, 2015 at 11:45 PM Thank you for reading and commenting so kindly, Emile... I was upset when writing this poem and my emotions just poured out. It was after my friend had been hospitalized from severe chest pains. Bad things always seem to happen when I become close friends with someone. Thankfully, he is home now and doing well :)

Arthur Vaso September 12, 2015 at 11:49 PM At least you have friends, all I have is darkness and doom, but I loved the poem. Kelly Deschler September 19, 2015 at 1:36 PM Thank you for reading, Arthur... You have friends here, you know that!... My friendships never seem to last long. I feel cursed sometimes, like its my destiny to go through life alone.
