Kelli White Poet Classicism

Synchronicity

Eyes pucker and swell
Erupting with tears
Of pleasure or joy?
But who is to know?
The quivering lips
And trembling hands
Equipped with cotton
To swab the overflowing
Excretions from eyes and nose
Of pleasure or joy?
Is it for me to be 
The analytical master
Of this robust emotional
Human puppeteer.
Alas alone struggling
With unbridled emotions
Of pleasure or joy?
Why some choose to cull
All emotion for private 
Yet others ill equipped 
With self control cannot
Quell the tearjerking
And public displays 
Of pleasure or joy?
The loveless and the lonely
The defeated and lost
No one to judge 
No cross to bare 
But I surmise at times
Through life's unparalleled
Roller coaster it is to be not
Rejected not ignored but 
Simply admired from afar
As an uncontrollable impulse
Of pleasure or joy?
The result of which commands
The same tearful over dramatized
Actions whether private or on 
Display for passers by to discern.
