There is no peace with you,
Nor any rest!
Your prescence is a torture to the brain.
Your words ae barbed arrows to the breast,
And one but greets To wish you sped again.
Frustrate you make desire
And action vain.
There is no peace with you.
No peace...
Nor any rest.
Yet in your abscence
Longing springs anew,
And hopefullness besets the baffled brain.
"If only you were you and yet not you!"
If you such joy could give as you give pain!
Then what an unguent for the burning breast!
And for the harassed heart
What rapture true!
"If only you were you and yet not you!"
There is no peace with you
Nor ever any rest!
Emulation
There is no rest with you,
Neither is there peace!
Your prescence is a migrain.
Your mouth a poisonous Cobra.
Everyone wishes to send you off.
Irritated you make me pray
And be powerless.
There is no rest with you.
No sleep...
Nor any peace.
Yet with your leave
Lonliness rises like bile,
And craving attacks the throbbing brain.
"If only you were not you, yet still the same!"
If you could be as benevlolent as you are cruel!
Then what a balm for the burning desire!
And for the twisted heart
What blessings would become!
"If only you were not you, yet still the same!"
There is no rest with you
Nor ever any peace!

I like your poem Alex. My favorite lines of your poem is "If you could be as benevolent as you are cruel!/
Then what a balm for the burning desire! /
And for the twisted heart/
What blessings would become!"
I like these lines because it true what you say in those lines. When dealing with an annoying cruel person often at times I wish they could be kinder. That would truly be a blessing. a question I have for u is have you ever had to deal with an Enigma and wished that they could just go away or be more benevolent.

Alex,
I liked your emmulation of the poem. I especially liked the fact that you used very good vocabulary in your piece such as "benevolent". Another thing I really liked was that you said, "Your prescence is a migrain./Your mouth a poisonous Cobra." However, when you said " Your mouth a poisonous Cobra" did you mean the things that person says? Another question I have is that you capitalized the word cobra, was there a reason behind that? Overall you did a really good job in your emmulation.
