243. Different Shades Of Emptiness

A true poet grows not angry,
Nor does he feel utter happiness;
The emotions of a true Romantic
Seem to forever be
Only different shades of disappointment,
And as a true Romantic poet,
I see, speak, and paint my words
In so many brilliant colors,
Yet deep in my heart,
                                   I know
            They are only different shades of black.
