Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Love's Back In Season

Reducing facts to black and white,
leaves little room for shades of grey.
And stubbornness leads to a fight,
when neither of us will give way.

As shouts instigate a ruckus,
anger regurgitates stale lies.
And when patience abandons us,
we don't hold back: till someone cries.

Feelings flare under verbal fire,
fueled by harsh looks that could kill.
And there's no escaping our ire,
as the tears start flowing at will.

Yet, retracting slurs hurled in rage,
Time silently restores reason.
And we start acting more our age,
assured that love's back in season.

Cherl Dunn February 9, 2015 at 10:01 AM But after a well like hot lava we must let off this emotional steam that's build up inside, thats the boom effect. I love how you've expressed it so well in this poem, well done. I love the way poetry can't allow the writer to just vent and you can express all your inner thoughts and emotions, cheri

Cherl Dunn February 9, 2015 at 9:59 AM Dear Emile, Life in itself is a constant struggle, conflict between personalities and situations, can cause us to act out, to vent emotions that we keep deeply within ourselves. Humans are living volcanoes, exploding that the height of pressures build up, it's not that we don't love one another but it's the factor that we do love one another and don't wish to hurt each other, so we let things that hurt or eritact each other to pass away or we shove it down without menitioning it out loud. Emile Pinet February 9, 2015 at 10:43 AM Thanks so much for taking the time to give me this personal and in depth review, I appreciate and am flattered by your words. Emile.

Robert Lindley February 8, 2015 at 8:27 PM Such a true write. Been there ,done that long ago. Deep passion so often allows for deep anger when one feels wronged or ignored. Great and creative write my friend! A 7 and certainly reminds me of my two ex-wives. lol Emile Pinet February 9, 2015 at 8:37 AM Thanks Robert, for your friendly words of encouragement. Emile.

Connie Marcum Wong February 8, 2015 at 7:46 PM Where there is passion there is bound to be disagreements which make life interesting and electric. You could be describing my husband and myself in this creative write Emile. Passion and time always wins out! 7 Emile Pinet February 8, 2015 at 8:15 PM Thank you so much Connie. Emile.
