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. Won second place in Polarities And Paradoxes Poetry Contest sponsored by Line Gauthier Won second place in STRAND SELECT F,any form ,any theme Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand

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.

That opening/closing line packs a punch...love can be trying but nothing beats it when it's true

Whoa! What a marvel you are! 'Flashes of jouissance?! Where'd you come up with that word. Have to add it to my list of vocabulary words I can trick my wife with. LOL. Great poem; super entry for the contest, btw. Thanks, Jenish! :) gw
