Love invites Sorrow in, to feed its hunger, quench its thirst...Sorrow has been sorely deprived of succour and unconditional nurture in most states of distress, sadness, betrayal, rejection, hurt, loss, grief (are only but a few called by name)...when Sorrow is well fed, and transfiguring into its better, higher lighter form, the captive/s eventually are let loose - it is Sorrow's choice of course, whether Sorrow stays or goes. (Leanne Lovejoy-Burton as LadyLabyrinth)

Love is tethered to grief By Emile Pinet.

Grief and heartache are like ocean waves, at times calm, and at times the waves are crashing and roaring.

a dagger of pain, a tear of grief
|
My fancy rainbow soon but fades
And all in vain mine eyes I blink
The floating boats of hope do sail
Then in the deeps of grief they sink
|
What would the world be like if there was peace in our minds, bodies, minds and souls. Imagine a world without stress, grief, or sorrow in each others lives. People could have a positive and forgiving attitude towards one another… there would be no hate.

"in tears of silence
my grief comes as a whisper ...
a dagger of pain"
|
Grief is a souvenir of love lost, forever on one’s heart embossed.
|
Faith is the only hope that allows us to live until we will approach the day and the hour of our departure, having spent a stay so brief in time, and this faith is instilled by a spiritual urge that will open the gate of Paradise for us all firm believers in the resurrection.

Grief is a powerful force that pushes a man to relinquish his grip on reality.
|
Periods of absolute happiness are brief and fragile.
|
Life comes in phases, sometimes you are artistic, sometimes not, sometimes you are at your peak and sometimes you are in the depths of a valley of grief and sorrow. Phases pass, trust in this and you will live a life of serenity.

Your tenure brief; then by July's first day /
like childhood and young love, you've flown away (from the poem "To a June Bug")

Brief autumn breeze ...
she always wanted to pluck
the reddest roses

The nature of Nature
is bitter survival,
from Winter’s bleak fury
till Spring’s brief revival.
The weak implore Fate;
bold men ravish, dishevel her ...
till both are cut down
by mere ticks of the Leveler.

ur GAUD created hell; it’s called the earth;
HE mused u briefly, clods of little worth:
"let’s conjure some little monkeys
to be BIG RELIGION’s flunkeys!"
GAUD belched, went back to sleep, such was ur birth.

White in the shadows
I see your face,
unbidden. Go, tell
Love it is commonplace;
tell Regret it is not so rare.
Our love is not here
though you smile,
full of sedulous grace.
Lost in darkness, I fear
the past is our resting place.

Of infinity the sky and all the stars; the ocean and all the crashing waves; nature and all it encompasses; and my eternal boundless love, grief and tears.

Confronted by the awesome thought of death,
to never suffer, and be free of grief,
we wonder: What’s the use of drawing breath?
Why seek relief
from the bible’s Thief,
who ripped off Eve then offered her a leaf?
('Farewell to Faith II' by Michael R. Burch)

Farewell to Faith I
by Michael R. Burch
What we want is relief
from life’s grief and despair:
what we want’s not “belief”
but just not to be there.
