Sorrow Poem by Samael Wolf

While it is true that one
should never love something
so much that they

cannot see it die
It is also true that it becomes
a part of our being
becoming immortal within our dreams

To feel sorrow is not weak
it is strength of character
it is the ultimate loyalty
to denigrate such a lovely beast

is to invite disaster
for there is nothing more
dangerous than a wounded animal.
My sorrow is my strength

it fuels the fire
it is my cause
in this pitiful world.

Avert your eyes, for such a gaze
would bring you to my house
of pain, the enticing scent

of tears and passion
would bring madness to
those without purpose.
