Ecstacy to Rage

Why do I go from romance to despair in swift and silky flows Please dear poets do get in touch if anybody knows?

Ecstasy to Rage

These are simple emotions,

amorous bedfellows of my pen

that spill from the deep

dark crevices

carved into my tortured,

yet romantically optimistic,

heart and soul.

I vacillate between them

choosing as I would a tie

to match my mood.

From deep Despair to Loving Tryst

mere meanderings of my mind.

A lyrical vent

to my construct of the world

and vivid voice

to my joy and to my pain.

People with poetic and writing inclinations, in fact any artist, tend to be emotionally unpredictable & tempestuous. It goes with their sensitivity, sincerity and their high expectations from the less than perfect outer world.

A very well-worded thought John.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thanks Divya and I like your explanation too!

[DIVYA]

:) You are welcome John. It gave such food for thought!

[Leslie Philibert]

a good poem, and the answer is ( I think ), emotions are mostly ambivalent, there is no moment of joy not tinged with despair and no moment of despair without some hope..

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Yay! You are the first to try to answer the question. I have often been accused of writing the same stuff yet I really do vaccilate and choose according my moment. I agree with your answer as nothing is so seperate as to have 'pure' joy or complete hoplessness. Many thanks Leslie
