Away with love
And away with its lies
A way it is
Of feeding me the highs
Away with hate
I’ll forgive one more time
There ne’er was time to die
Than the moment of truth
Away with cheer
This fairy make-up tale
The ruse contrived
To keep me in limbo
Away with sorrow
Else, away with life
Of what use is the life
That ne’er was lived at all

That last verse really got me going! A life of sorrows is no life at all! Thank God for little mercies that it isn’t always the case! Though weeping endures for a night, there’s always the hope that joy will come in the morning! The tides keep turning and that makes life what it is…a cocktail of happenstances elicting various different emotions from we Earthlings! 😃😆
The seemingly nonchalance of the Poet I find pretty interesting! At the end of the day, deep down; we wanna experience all of these emotions, cause only then can we be said to have lived! Kudos Zee, you’re right on course! 👍❤
