Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Undying Persistence

Smitten by unrequited love,
rejection stymies fledgling hearts.
And any chance of happiness
is lost before it even starts.

Denial comforts broken hearts
left in a vulnerable state.
While they cling tight to the false hope
that time might yet alter their fate.

Always waiting in the shadows,
smiles keep passion's flame concealed.
For exposed fantasy dreams die,
when secret feelings are revealed.

Their impassioned hearts feel empty,
like they were hollowed out inside. 
And tears often swell up and spill,
no matter how many they've cried.

Desire and suppression have them
sliding down a slippery slope.
Yet, with undying persistence,
they desperately cling to hope.

Gary Bateman June 26, 2015 at 6:03 AM Hello Emile!! This one's an extraordinary write. I just happened to have written a poem posted on PS last year entitled: "Unrequited Love." You might find it of interest too relevant to your current write here. Your title here is most appropriate for your theme. And the picture is worth a thousand words. Outstanding Work!! A "7" + FAV!! Best Always, Gary (P.S. Since reading your work here, I might undertake a sequel to my original poem on "Unrequited Love.") Emile Pinet June 26, 2015 at 10:59 AM Thanks so much Gary, I appreciate your kind words of support and wish you well on your sequel. Emile.
