Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Hope Outweighs Sorrow

Falling in love's magical,
your heart burns as if on fire.
And your ears only hear hope;
not the words of a liar.

When trust is at its weakest,
he shores it up with more lies.
And a pile of excuses,
buries the truth till it dies.

Fear fuels your frustration
as lies morph into goodbyes.
And failed dreams discreetly drown;
in tears spilled from crying eyes.

Yet, time carries you away
to where hope outweighs sorrow.
For, like a river, fate flows
toward a new tomorrow.

You have expressed so well the human heart, in and out of love, and the deep feelings that make love so magical. I dearly love this poem and am fav'ing it. #7 Emile Pinet November 2, 2015 at 7:17 AM Connie, you always make me feel good about myself, and for that I can't thank you enough. Emile.
