Mixed Feelings

Free verse poem by Marco Alessandro Demetillo Third Place,

Literary Contest 2023 Poem Category

Feelings intensifies like day, Expressions stand out today, Lively emotions shine like stars, Beautiful, engaging, and pleasuring like the dawning star.

Life feels like spring, Joyful, admirable, and warm. For a regular day I feel no pain, Absence of cacophony makes me cheerful.

If disturbance comes once, Spring becomes cold winter, Clouds turn empty like grey, My head screams in blue murder.

Nothingness spreads like plague, Once it infects, it wrecks, Feelings get decomposed, Under the cold grey winter war.

We feel emptiness and greyness, But like seasons, its regular change, Feelings may mix like soup, Warmth and greyness are linked terms.
