JOY AND PAIN

JOY AND PAIN

Bruised and confused,
Did I win or lose.

Saw a vision, the road turned,
Of course I won, because I learned.

Fast lane! floor it! no brakes installed!
never saw the turn, never saw the wall.

Blinded by a light so bright, it burned into my heart,
Be what I seek, it might, which drove me from the start.

Maybe I was wrong,
That's only in a movie or a song.

But why then do we have feelings, if we can't trust what they say,
And why can't we act upon it, if we know we feel that way.

Well life is just a mystery, a constant ponder in our brain,
And love is kinda twisted, the way it causes joy and pain.

Before I'm through, you must understand,
Although it didn't go, quite the way I planned.

What I tried too hard to create, still has a happy end,
I can't complain, for I have gained, a forever cherished friend.

Very Nice Write, and yes Love is ALWAYS bittersweet at best. I'd rather say that love is a sugar coated version of HELL, But... This is a truly great write. -fallenangel87-

Really a nice poem. I love the flow of words and the hidden revelation. Oh yes!! It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. Great Read.

Love is never strained when frienship is gained....

An expressive and gentle write that concludes with gain instead of loss.

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
