Emotional Circles

Say my name, 

Love.

I will fly to your side

And there will I stay

'Til the moment I die.

 

Do not speak with 

Anger.

It is the simplest thing

To remain silent

While the mockingbird sings.

 

Weep not, my sweet

Sorrow.

For tomorrow pain will vanish on the tides

Surely as the moon will rise

And fall on meeting morning skies.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Love, Anger, Sorrow... I'm fairly certain all other emotions stem from these three. They can circle around on themselves as well.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Haha!! No... what I am

Haha!! No... what I am thinking is that I love the poem, but don't agree that Love is an emotion....but then, in the poem, you don't use the word referencing it as an emotion but as an affectionate name, right?

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Love

Say my name, Love. Love is the name that is being said, not the person being addressed. The person speaking is literally Love.

Oh...so that makes it

Oh...so that makes it entirely different. (the poem). Love speaks throughout the poem, then, right? 

 

That's nice. I like it. I think all emotions stem from thoughts.
