Emile Pinet Poet Quatern

Secretly Scary

When life suddenly gets scary,
Love searches for a safer place.
And tries blocking reality:
with tricks of imagination.

Anxieties begin to climb
when life suddenly gets scary.
And paranoia stalks your thoughts;
overshadowing happiness.

Ghosts of buried yesteryears haunt;
while memories morph into tears.
When life suddenly gets scary,
Hope retreats into wishful dreams.

But dreams only come out at night:
for fantasies fade in sunlight.
And you're held hostage by your fears:
when life suddenly gets scary.

Lyric Man June 23, 2018 at 11:55 PM Emile.. powerfully emotive. So many are held hostage by fear and it's not just kids. It's adults, it's leaders. And that in and of itself is scary to me! This was a smooth, well written poem! Emile Pinet June 24, 2018 at 10:04 AM Thanks Lyric Man, I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.
