Callous, harsh, such cruel intent
Forced observance of our own decay
leaves solitary, lingering languishment

But beauty, too, contained within
So hard to find but worth the pain
The endless trial, the constant search
Could end in rapture or in vain

To those of us who suffer so
Gripped by unyielding mental sorrow
The world is impossibly, unbearably bleak
With only the promise of a bleaker tomorrow

But, yet, there dwells a trace of hope
Your own mortality you must forgive
The eventual end must spur us on
For death is that which makes us live. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 169 [topic] => 21 [informant] => MelancholicArtist [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

The fatality of life

How fatal is this life of ours
Callous, harsh, such cruel intent
Forced observance of our own decay
leaves solitary, lingering languishment

But beauty, too, contained within
So hard to find but worth the pain
The endless trial, the constant search
Could end in rapture or in vain

To those of us who suffer so
Gripped by unyielding mental sorrow
The world is impossibly, unbearably bleak
With only the promise of a bleaker tomorrow

But, yet, there dwells a trace of hope
Your own mortality you must forgive
The eventual end must spur us on
For death is that which makes us live.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
