It Is Better To Have Loved

It is better to have loved
and lost
than to never have loved at all - - - - -

You then get to taste
the full spectrum of emotions
that define us

as human beings.
The highs of being in love
to depths of breakup

Joys of companionship to
reflections of loneliness
Exhilarations of a relationship

envelope mildest hours,
trespass upon sanctities
of heartiest seclusions

dripping by lackluster
innuendos perplexed within
tripping feelings surpassed

by joys of indulgences
tempered with illuminations
of times past.
