Indistinguishable

This is a poem i wrote one day out of extreme emotion.

 

Love and hate,

Life and death,

Joy and anguish,

The line between is thin and small.

 

Hate someone for their peeves

Love someone for their kisses

Hate someone for their personality

Love someone for their body

Hate someone for their weaknesses

Love someone for their strengths

Hate someone for their coward and fear

Love someone for their courage and bravery

Love can easily go to hate.

Hate can easily go to love.

The line is slender and frail.

 

Life is so easy to lose.

Death is easier to gain.

Life is fragile and short

Death is strong and everlasting.

Life can be fun win lived to the fullest.

But death can intervene and end it at anytime.

The line is narrow and sheer.

 

Joy and anguish

Happiness and sadness

Excitement and depression

All the same, all in the same group

All are huge visages.

All have a delicate line in between.

 

Love and hate

Life and death

Joy and anguish

The lines are silent but loud,

Fine but rough,

Petite but hefty

The lines are indistinguishable.

Wow, you have packed a lot of power with your words. I like the way you have set up the lines as well. It adds more to the poem. You are so right about the veil bettween love and hate. It is so flimsy and see-through.

Life can be fun win lived to the fullest (only typo I found...did you mean when instead of win?)

Nice Job

I have no Criticisms but I do have a few comments. I enjoyed reading this poem and seeing how you showed the thin lines between life, death and so on. It is a true message you are sending here especially about how easily death is gained. Strong writing I enjoyed it!

Great release of emotion in this one! You have a great ability to pen. "Death is easier to gain.Life is fragile and short". Oh, so true.
