It is perhaps not in the propper spirit of the day, and posted quite late but given the month and the passing of what I affectionetly call the feast of broken hearts I give unto you. Those of the VTK my Holiday Poem. Aptly “dubbed” The feast of broken hearts tho as of yet it has no title
Wandering through this world lost I’ve come to know these simple truths….
Love hurts and is often times unrequited
Yet man has an insatiable tolerance,
For pain
Often enough he stands before the hearth staring into the eyes of the fire admiring it from a distance
Wondering, has he strength enough to survive its touch
It dances about in its own world unaware of the light and warmth it gives to those around it
At times the fire sparks and an ember lands upon the skin
For that brief instant when it touches him , he does not feel the pain
It inflicts, only the joy … for it has reached out to him and the fires touch alone causes him to beam with a brilliant light
He knows if he were to hold the fire close it would burn him … could he
Does he have what it takes to endure the pain that its touch will bring?
So now he sits content in watching it …he will wait for that day …
Should it come that the fire might do more that cast an ember his way
He will sit here in ponderous thoughts of what might be and what could be until that day …
For he is patient …
Is it love he sees staring back at him or is it mere fantasy ?
“Love†hurts and is often times unrequited….
