Emile Pinet Poet Free verse

Hidden Rainbows

When the truth gets sidestepped
to satisfy Hope...
it’s a sad lesson in life.

Not giving my feelings free rein,
I've opened myself to vulnerability.
And on hearing my heart cry out
struggling under the weight of despair
I was moved to tears.

My life is a never-ending story
of how love was found,
    only to be lost.
For the reality I clung to so dear
was a dream, from which I've awakened.

Tears don't harbor hidden rainbows:
only sadness marks their release.
And pain surrounds doubtful decisions,
yet Hope still urges me forward,
despite my anguish.
One dream.
One heart.
One soul.
Words that once defined who I was
are snagged on the jagged edges of my broken heart.
And a flood of hurt morphs into tears,
as I mourn a love lost to time.

Darlene De Beaulieu October 11, 2023 at 10:34 AM Hello Emile, I have just read this poem. I sense a lot of heartache here. You had the love of your life. I refer that as a soulmate. Some of us think we have a soulmate but when one partner cheats -That hurts very much. It is like a huge shock through the whole body. The person that is faithful wonders what they did wrong. the marriage is not the same. something missing. Darlene De Beaulieu October 11, 2023 at 11:48 AM Hello Emile, Hi!
