Lovely Hate

In boundless love, I hate him for my loneliness
Through clamorous words spilling out from my eyes
Mindless me nurturing sprouts of love in my mind
Where inkless pen wrote love letters in silence.

Plunged in Hell, in this heaven where I am
Drenched in gloom, flashes of jouissance I cherished
Bound with him, we sat merrily in solitude
Drowned my soul, in that ocean of multitude.

Dreams of love, which I cherished as real in vain
Haunting me like a ghost still breathing in sane
In the grave of mind, he lied alive and dead
In boundless love, I hate him for my loneliness.

An intriguing capture of paradox. Thank you for teaching me a new word (jouissance). I like "Where inkless pen wrote love letters in silence." Congrats on your win, Jenish.

Hate and love are very similar and very close neighbors - somebody you really loved and perhaps hurt you emotionally could be turned into into an emotion of hate both are strong feelings - an excellent write Jenish, a fav for me! Blessings, Jennifer.

Love, desire, hate (such powerful em0tions)--and when they have a face, they are all the more maddening. Heartfelt, very honest, well written poem.
