train tracks churning, splintering trust
within attraction’s spark of impassioned friction
hoarse lungs, grinded-raw against unspoken hurt
rusted hope, poisoning from deep within
raw emotions, framing quivering eyes
difference's belated deliverance of aching pulse,
brave eyelashes blink furiously
refusing to drip tears of submissive fears
stubbornness as fierce resonation
refocused eyes glistening in determination
refuting their relationship’s untameable tracks
is surrendered to a Titanic destiny
life’s oars gripped tighter to defy jostling seas
this, a wild ride upon love’s seats
surviving by investing, and
gripping
each other, ever tighter
Still!

A great depiction of how we fight our emotions rather than feel safe to feel them.
in the words of that great sage, Keanu Reeves
''I don't agree with that 'I'm a lover not a fighter'
idyllist colloquialism
if you love, then you must fight for that love!''
(not always, but
some relationships are worth fighting for
till the bitter end)
lol
(thank you, for your insightful comment
dear poet
for reading beyond that surface level ink)
We can disagree about fighting emotions, that's ok. Love doesn't fight, it accepts truth and cares, is compassionate, helpful, kind, courageous and honours others freewill while honouring its own. And much more. But fighting is a forceful action and is the opposite of love. (In my experience).

Some of us are aware of that untameable track that we have been put on. The struggle is real.
Amen!
Oh yes the ride can be very wild in love's unpredictable seats. A pleasure to read your advice Mek on being at all times wary of falling and clinging on tighter.
yes sometimes, there are great rewards
for entrenching ourselves with loyalty's pits
and digging our way past those rough bumps
while for other relationships
we are better off letting go
at that first glimpse of woe;
but what do I know!?
lol
glad you enjoyed the read dear Fay
thank you for the encouraging words
When caught in the grip of love, the heart may supersede the brain, and override logic and reason, unable to know when to let go. You propose quite a quandary my friend, a very good write.
indeed, if only we could skip ahead the ugly crying face scenes
in real life, like we can on our pixel screen daydreams
maybe then this romance thing would work out for more of us,
lol
glad you enjoyed the read, dear Poet
I like how succinctly you interpreted/highlighted the main theme
I was aiming to get across, thank you
Love - unrelenting in or out of it, and then when poetically framed by you.
'unrelenting' is a great word
to go along with this humble scribble's depiction of love
indeed, a great comment
thank you! kind poet
I think that which follows my next full stop would be nigh on impossible to better.
this, a wild ride upon love’s seats
surviving by investing, and
gripping
each other, ever tighter
Still!

dear Hyung, you must stop
making a grown a$$ old man, blush
it is - so, not a good look
thanking you in advance
