Getting through



Is it really worth it,
all that agony and desperation,
all that torture and despair,
that is the consequence
and other side of love and ecstasy,
the abyss of that hell
that heaven's bliss inevitably leads to,
ending up in knots of opposites,
the heavenly existence and its liberation
proving but a trap and desperate entanglement
of jealousies, complexities, suspicions,
sleeplessness and nightmares?
But the issue is of no importance,
since love never can be done without,
evaded or escaped from;
it is always there
expecting you and waiting for you,
and there is no way out
but to just get through with it;
and while you suffer it,
you might as well enjoy it.

Great poem. It has deep meaning and is easy to relate to. I feel like it's saying life has ups and downs...what comes up must come down.. so if you may as well enjoy the ups before you fall down. Love is a fragile but passionate feeling with so many mixed emotions...I enjoyed the message of this poem and the last two lines really capitalized on its message.

lol I loved the resolve in this poems last line. I agree, there is no point in denying loves embrace, no matter how tight or uncomfortable it is...we just have to loosen up.

Smiling at you

Tai, wishing you a peaceful weekend
