Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

No One's Perfect

Pursuing fantasies of youth,
love becomes an impassioned goal.
And fledgling feelings flying free,
influence both the heart and soul.

Plagued by uncertainty and hope,
fantasies carry little clout.
And though you yearn for happiness,
you have not yet figured love out.

Playing Russian roulette with fate,
you give life's cylinder a spin.
But taking risks with your feelings,
doesn't guarantee a surefire win.

It's okay to want more than dreams,
life wasn't meant to be slept away.
But do not mistake lust for love,
no matter what your heart may say.

Forget the past; no one's perfect;
sometimes, fragile dreams break apart.
And as you gather the pieces,
time starts to mend your broken heart.
