Temperance

Temperance Canvas Print by Foxfires


 
Each day is worse
Than the one before.

One hour, just another
In a series of unbearable sixty-minute parts.

When eternity is what is facing,
 How can there be any patience?

And I promise I won’t do it again
Sometimes I really believe it
     And it feels so good!

Could this be that taste
Of hell, which
We came here to face?

Love,
Must get rid of this longing
This waiting...
.
Since forever is forever
Never is never, and
Sweetness...
     too sweet.

But the future always holds the promise of hope and the joy of existence ... imagine those promises fulfilled ... forever ... no hurry ... no demands ...

Sorry, I did not see this as total sadness. More like living life on life's terms "one-day-at-a-time", guided by a power greater than yourself or any self.

Every day is not Christmas, and every night is not New Year's Eve, that much I know. But hey, the rains nurture green grass and colorful flora/fauna, and become sunshine the next day.

If you ARE sad, I'm sorry, but that was not my interpretation...
PEACE IS A PART OF SERENITY.

Just finished a book of poetry chronicalling love and the seasons of love - this sounds like a season of pain in the speaker. A part but not the whole

Love to my dear porters friend

Your poem goes beyond a broken heart; almost feels like stepping into that timeless void of fear and humility. Deep poetry.

I just love your poetry. "Since forever is forever..."

The days are longer when you don't spend them with the one you love. Great One Shot!

I suspect it is the title that takes me there, but I see an alcoholic sitting in front of the glass, struggling, fighting the addiction. Very powerful and sad, Dulce.

How sad this is. But, often, love brings sadness. It is not always joy and light.
