Poem Commentary

I wrote this in a time in my life when i was torn between getting my new life situated or reclaiming my old life. I chose the future.

Mixed Emotions

My emotions, are like a potion mixed with the utmost care

Kind and cruel in a mix that’s hardly fair

To me or anybody who gets too near

They can hurt me and anyone I hold dear

Yet at the same time they can bring endless joy

That unconditional love like with a mother and her boy,

Or a father and daughter, or between two lovers

Who don’t need the world, just each other?

Just one another, grasping each other with grips so tight

That the only thing that could break it is loves own might

And I might in fact be the first to act

On my emotions so rashly, as a matter of fact

My pain and pleasure all come from this source

And I can’t break the habit with just sheer force

So I delve into myself and take a journey in my heart

Till I reach my mind and realize how far apart

The two places truly are, separated by their own dungeons

And mixed together to make my own emotional conundrum

Am I wrong, Am I a slave to these entities

Do I own them or do they own me,

Am I a slave to mental fallacies of happiness and joy and you love me so sincerely?

Or I’m I fooling myself in this tragedy, and living a life where there’s only me.

Noise in my mind drowning out thoughts like the ocean, Stuck in my own Mixed emotions

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
