PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

there can be pride taken from work

that is well done

there can be two or more in a fulfilling relationship

while the full force of 'The Failing Fall' is felt

only by one

objectivity takes a back seat to involvement

when all is said even if only in fun

and 'I Love You' can inflict the worst possible battle

scars and pain

if such words are carelessly flung

answers only seem to repress wounds brought on by

questions not meant to be put across as mere pun

and every heart implodes from all blows taken in to its

soft near defenseless interior and only the most ironically

hardened can say that he has won

only to then later realize that he has won the round

for the moment but the initial grasp for the so wanted love

is forever lost

the not playing of the game is likely the most crucial of all keys

but is such possible acquirement in the end

of this emotional quest worth the before referred to cost

I don't know

you tell me..................
