Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Reality's Rules

Silently mumbling under your breath,
you toss and turn, unable to sleep.
For self-doubt sentences love to death;
as feelings flow from shallow to deep.

Secreted within your heart and soul;
fragmented dreams morph into despair.
And those that still leave you feeling whole
are fragile; so handle them with care.

Truth frightens hearts wounded by its sting;
for once trust falters, nothing is clear.
And your heart knows the pain lies can bring;
thus, love comes with a smidgen of fear.

Ignoring imposed logic or norms;
love's known to turn dreamers into fools.
And instigate emotional storms;
not subject to reality's rules.

And yet, a growing upsurge of hope,
got you to believe souls can combine.
And spinning strands of trust into rope,
two souls conjoin: as lovers entwine.

David Meade February 9, 2015 at 1:54 PM Nicely done Dear Emile -- I like the image of the strands twisting . . . there is much strength when strands are braided together -- even the knots add texture . . . keep dreaming for they hold hope and adventure. 7 Emile Pinet February 9, 2015 at 3:16 PM Thanks David, I appreciate your support and encouragement.
