Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Follow Your Heart

Love inflicts a pain that's hard to bear;
dredging up feelings time's steeped in fear.
And yet, you realize fate doesn't care;
facing truths you wish would disappear.

The sting of rejection scuttles hope:
adrift, amidst shadows of darkness.
And faith slides down a slippery slope,
as empty lies, embellish starkness.

Fragile feelings, like paper dreams tear;
caught in a cycle of push and shove.
For pride conceals a failing affair:
fueled by an unrequited love.

Find your happy place, and dry your tears;
cease crying and look for someone new.
Life is not as bleak as it appears:
follow your heart, and let hope guide you.

Maria Williams May 11, 2017 at 9:45 AM You have woven the fragility of human emotions into your work masterfully as always Emile. Human love and feelings are too sensitive to be treated clumsily. You last two verses give the answer like ointment to heal the wound. A Big 7 my friend ...

Jesse Zerlaut May 9, 2017 at 10:04 AM This is AMAZING! I love it Emile, it touches me at a time when I needed to read something like this. Though not in the ring of love, but more in the ring of friendship.. I've found hardships that this would see me through. It was wrote for you, but somehow I feel I was meant to see it. God bless. 7 only because I can't rate higher. Emile Pinet May 10, 2017 at 5:44 PM Thank you so much Jesse, for sharing your feelings, I appreciate your comments and support my friend, I hope things work out well for you, Emile.
