Your lonely life is the Devil's jest, laughing at your heart's unanswered call. And although you tried your very best, the odds of finding lost love were small. Accepting hate as a form of love, depression numbs your rejected heart. And you lose faith in a God above, placing the blame on hope's naive start. Burning within love's exquisite flame, fragmented memories failed to last. A sleeping warrior reaps no fame, reliving battles lost to the past. Admonishing love with bated breath, you live on the edge of forbidden thrills. And taking pleasure in taunting death, you trade liquid fire for magic pills. Life's horizon draws your troubled soul toward the shadows, away from light. And levies an emotional toll, even though you think all’s going right. (Quatrain) 4/17/2017

Congratulations on your win. I can feel the pain of love lost, the despair of life lost with that love. Some never recuperate. WellWell-written poem.

Emile, what an interesting and powerful poem. It seems this person is spiraling down and may not one day soon be able to resurface in the light of day.:) Amitiés

Your second stanza describes so many and why so many crimes are committed. It seems they want to share their pain by causing others to have pain. You have such a wonderful understanding of life Emile. 7 ; )

A very deep slice of the dark of the end of a relationship. So true, blame is scattered every where and decisions made aren't always the wisest. Nicely written and rhymed Emile.
