On Its Two Sides Poem by Obinna Kenechukwu Eruchie
On Its Two Sides
DARK SIDE
Frustrated I descend
With head to the ground.
Switched on for heaven
Is the dream,
For in aura missing
Is the bliss.
What so fierce
As the coal violent?
What with pain wicked,
To the rose, equivalent?
Love I touch
By its thorns stormy,
So in grief I breathe,
In distress to perceive,
As my heart with light
Cloudy,
Shrinks to cry.
BRIGHT SIDE
Gratified I ascend
With head to the sky.
Switched off for heaven
Is the dream,
For in aura showing
Is the bliss.
What so mild
As the snow silent?
What with pleasure kind,
To the rose, equivalent?
Love I touch
By its petals calm,
So in joy I breathe,
In comfort to perceive,
As my heart with light
Sunny,
Grows to laugh.
Very insightful poem of the two sides to life.I love how you went fro dark to light as the real life is manifest this way. A great inspiring read, well penned
Wonderful verse of the two sides of feelings. Great use of images - dark as ground/ light as rose petals. For every dark day, a lighter day is coming very inspiring verse. :)
Good presentation of two sides. Nice poem and well penned too. Wisdom is shown greatly. Enjoyed reading it
How creatively you show the two sides of choice and falling and rising to our negative and positive experiences. I also feel in death your philosophy applies as well. To go to the love and light and not linger in negativity is the way to go, I believe. A poem full of wisdom so excellently written. 10 love Karin
