keep no expectation
but lose no hope
expectations when met, kill surprises
expectations when unmet, bring demises
hopes when met, bring strength unsurpassed
hopes when unmet, bring fresh new hopes
hope that the sun will bless with its warmth
don't expect
feel the glory, if it does
hope that the morning will come with hugs
don't expect
feel the affection, if it does
hope that the night will shower twinkling stars
don't expect
feel the beauty, if it does
hope that every conversation brings closeness
don't expect
feel the relief, if it does
hope that every song is melodious
don't expect
feel the rhythm, if it is
hope that every breath is sweet smelled
don't expect
feel the sensation, if it is
hope that every eye contact is heartfelt
don't expect
feel the passion, if it is
hope that every thought is enlightening
don't expect
feel the satisfaction, if it is
hope that this poem will bring more analogies
don't expect
save from the disappointment, because it wont: P
Piece of great elegance, nicely penned in poetic diction with conviction. An insightful look in the conceptual difference between both words in juxtaposition. Expectation implies almost certainty - it could be a good breakfast but very bad supper. It's a beautiful poem subtly written with depth of insight. Thanks for sharing Charles. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
title tells that there is something...really we should restrain our hopes and expectation to be happy....nice thanks.
Very amazing muse espousing Hope for almost every eventuality and expounding what one's reaction should be if a particular hope is met or otherwise. Enjoyed the poem with quite different perspective. Thanks for sharing.10+ points.
