LIFE

I WAS HAPPY

UNTIL I WASN’T.

I WAS SAD

UNTIL I WASN’T.

I FELT PLEASURE

UNTIL IT VANISHED.

I FELT PAIN

UNTIL IT SUBSIDED.

I KNEW LOVE

THAT DID NOT LAST.

I KNOW LOVE THAT LAST FOREVER.

LIFE GIVES.

LIFE TAKES.

UNTIL THE END.

  1. Wow! I so love this, My Dear!!! Awesome! So insightful – short, direct and moving message and “portrait” of what life is and how it “normally” works!! Bellissimo, Jessica, Bellissimo!
    Might you try some writing that isn’t fiction? Just for fun or a change? LOL! Just checking, My Dear! Have you ever tried writing Elfchens? They are simple, short, sweet and you can use them to capture wasted time at a stoplight or being on hold on the phone.
    😊💖💕🌹

    Check it out! You may like them? Mine is #15

    1. Hi
      I can not tell you how much I look forward to your comment. Thank you for your encouragement. I write for fun. I started a book once upon a time. I had no clue what an Elfchen was. I will try writing one.
      AGAIN big thanks. 😊😊😊😊

      1. Happy you are interested in giving a shot at writing a few Elfchens!! I think going over the Elfchens in the link I sent will probably give you some seeds of inspiration, I’m hoping!! I’d love to read some of your non-fiction. Maybe think about revisiting that book of yours!! Time flies by fast, Dear! Start with Baby Steps back into it, you will be so happy and proud when you finish it, even if it take a couple of years. Hence my love of Elfchens – 11 words and done! LOL! 😁😍 Maybe some short stories or flash fiction?

        I really love your writing and the crafting, emotions and feelings you put into your words/poems. I think you have a lot of yourself you can disguise a bit in poetry!!

        There is a great book that you might find helpful in adding poetry to your talents and skill set. It was an amazing help for me.

        Check this out and see what you think!! It was a great investment for me!!

      2. Thanks for all the encouragement.
        I’ll look for the book.
        I’ll keep trying to write more often on the blog. It’s been a couple of years since I lost all interest in writing. ☹️
