From one moment to the next
Elation to Desolation
There are no warning signs
No 'watch your head'
For my heart can drop a thousand feet
Silent screams rip from my chest
Lying next to the one I love
I should be filled with happiness
Yet, my screams are silent
Suffocation by damp pillows
For this is my secret, and
No explanation will suffice
Elation to Desolation
How can this be?
I yearn only for the equilibrium
They've always promised me.

In the backgroubd, behind the poem itself I percieve there's an unsure emotion which isn't taking place, but you also appear to be half in control of your thoughts revealing in that which highlights are confronted by the skill of your pen. One to make readers to read a little deeper in though about who you actually are, Many things will proceed with determination. Thank you for sharing.
Kevin, thank you for reading and commenting. I'm so pleased you've taken some time to think a little after reading. Appreciate your feedback.

You're very welcome, Clara...
balanced is indeed the optimum place to be.. a great little poem and true..
Hi Neville, thank you for reading!
I am definitely trying to strive towards balance for I'm always one way or the other these days. And I'm sure I'm not alone in this...

You are certainly not on your own there...
Elation to desolation is proof that you are tasting ALL the fruits of the ;life tree'. Out there at the sharp end. No foot warmers and woolly cardigans in front of the TV. No! you are living life!
As always, your input and perspective leads me to ponder my own words and look at them a little differently. You are right, I am living life! Tasting all it has to offer, the good and the bad. Although foot warmers and woolly cardigans do sound awfully tempting!
Thank you again for reading and commenting, it's appreciated.

Are you lying next to the one you love or lying, next to that person?
Alan, I suppose in this poem, both can be true... Although keeping feelings like those a secret from the one you love, surely can't be good. Thank you for reading and questioning.

I don't rely entirely on my feelings - well, I try not to, though we would not be human without them.
Meanwhile - I told ya not listen in to me singing! It's enough to plunge anyone from elation to desolation in a quick moment! It's all downhill from then on, once you've tuned in to me. heehee.
I now have such a curiosity with your voice. You always bring song to our poems here. Maybe you should share your voice alongside your wonderful words?? There's an idea!! 😊
Thank you for stopping by as always!

Thanks Clara. It's me being daft - saying my sing sounds like two cats fighting, etc!
Oh I gathered as such haha but I'm doubtful... ☺
Well, in church a couple of times, maybe people should have been focusing on singing themselves, but anyway - one or two people have said after the service 'I heard you singing well'. But no need for me to 'Blush, blush, be embarrassed, sing quieter next time, etc. Though I did not sing very loud originally!
That balance in life can be difficult to achieve in some circumstances but as your life goes on the experience of those challenges will come to balance that life and you will go the true way into your life
