A Labour Of Love

A fantastic example of short poetry and unrecognised talent written with feeling. Thanks to Tim at:

Sadness stealthily surrounding fires of distraction
Threateningly beckoning… imploring a reaction
Darkness to Light, it genuflects
Then contumaciously, objects
Decidedly ambivalent, it ‘tends it don’t exist
Conflatedly malevolent, it tries to thwart; resist

Extinguishing hope
Distinguishing rope
The noose of apathy constricting around
The neck of curiosity… all things profound

Deny it with the artificial Light
Becometh it a sacrificial plight
Kindling of lust, matches of pride
Relentlessly feigning from darkness, to hide
Impromptu and bastardized adoption
Lacking natural child of Light… becomes the only option

Inspiration for poetry can come from absolutely anywhere or from any past or anticipated life experience desire ambition love lust hate doubt even negative feelings and emotions are responsible for outburts of creativity in the meekest of personalities
