EVERYTHING'S OKAY - by Emile Pinet




 EVERYTHING'S  OKAY  

by  Emile Pinet

Love is but an illusion
a mixture of lies and truth.
And non-responsive to dreams
or expectations of youth.


Through anguish and frustration
bravado falters and slips.
And yet in your fantasies
passion drips from wanton lips.


Hope courts imagination
summoning a dreamy smile.
And you find your private place 
where you go once in a while. 


You yearn for a soul mate with
whom to share your existence.
And you continue to look 
with undying persistence.


You fall in and out of love   
with the ghosts of yesterday.
And yet feigning happiness
pretend everything's okay.
