Notes About The Poem

Life's Greatest Anguish

life's greatest anguish:
                                  passion felt yet unexpressed
                                        harrowing hunger


   love in confinement
   a required sacrifice
desire in f^l^a^m^e^s

                                                                        cravings and longings
                                                                    consume the tormented heart
                                               there 
                                                 is 
                                                no 
                                              respite

                                                  
                                          Jade Celeste

Richard Lamoureux March 17, 2015 at 7:43 AM I think it is perfect as it is. Time is a bit limited at the moment. I am working 6 days this week as my partner is in the Dominican Republic. Things will be back to normal next week.

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders March 17, 2015 at 1:00 AM A yearning passion, one that cannot be extinguished, a restless heart, desiring what cannot be had...the anguish and hunger....Wow, you've got my heart beating fast!! Another incredible piece of art from you!! Hugs, Rhonda

David Meade March 16, 2015 at 3:45 PM This is my kind of poetry . . . the words, the form, the power of the message. Another fav for me. Unfilled passions is the leading cause of depression . . . at least that is what I would surmise . . . a burning fire that consumes the heart. Well done LO!

Have a lovely one, Liam. Oh...I've always loved Ireland. Ireland does well in the Eurovision Song Contest. While I was living in Cyprus...that was an obsession of mine. I'd tape the shows!

Richard Lamoureux March 16, 2015 at 8:17 AM Your response to Ian is a poem within it self. I love how you presented this one, it gave the piece an added flare. Eileen Manassian March 16, 2015 at 10:52 AM :) Should I post I as prose, Richard? What a lovely thing to say. How are you? Hope you're doing well. I have a new poem up. Read it when you have time. ALSO....HELLO???? Where is your new write? Am I going to have to go to the past writes? I do that and I see my avatar time and again...I feel silly making the same comments. You need to write more, Richard. Hugs

Casarah Nance March 16, 2015 at 8:01 AM This is very artistic! I love the presentation and the words! :) Eileen Manassian March 16, 2015 at 10:53 AM :) I thought I'd do something a little different....I was about to post the firs time when I lost it all and had to try to recapture it from memory. Yes, I know...save on word first. I do too excited to post sometimes. Loved the latest pics of your little one, Cas. Hugs
