Dealing With Pain

I  have  learnt  to  deal

And  live  with  pain

Hiding  a  thousand  tempests

My  eyes  do  not  rain

You  came, you  saw,

You  conquered,  true

But  what’s  there, my  love,

For  me  at  all  to  gain

It  was  a  loving  glance

A  longing  and  romance

That’s  all I  wanted  from  you

But  all that  was  in  vain

I  know  my  lot

It’s  loneliness

My  dreams  will  not

Come  true, I  guess

My  hurried  prance

My  rain  dance

My  crazy  acts

As  if  in  trance

I  couldn’t  revive  again

My  fire  song  has  no  more  light

My  lyrics  lost  refrain

My  vision  is  blocked  by  dusty  grains

Still  my  eyes  do  not  rain

    Remain as hard rock that knows not what pain and suffering is;
    Give expression to your troubling pain, you are in fact welcoming it with open arms;
    Pain or gain, it’s a passing phenomenon, so learn to experience it, no matter its chemical reactions created inside of you;
    For, a right mixture of pain and its opposite is the ordained recipe we have to taste in our daily food of life and living!
