the sun and the moon

her sadness can be gentle

or roar like  a cornered lioness...

 

her sympathy can be so in tune with

the give and take of nature

I want to weep for my own

cold,

callous heart...

a moment later I feel

the scorpian sting of detestment

and I shake at the thought of abandonment...

 

that dichotomy,

the contradictive suggestion

of push and pull,

the hardness and softness

shakes the stubborn rock of man

and pours lava and ice

back into his veins...

 

I am enlightened by her duality.

This is really good -- gives the sense of the author and the muse at once -- a free flowing, honest thought -- btw, I perused some of your story -- it might be worth revisiting and maker shorter, more concise excerpts to re-post.

Well this is my kind of poem. Very honest very raw and very powerful. There is a flow throughout the poem maintained, which is one of the reasons it has such a huge impact on the readers. Now you have very beautifully portrayed and what makes this write even more powerful is your word choices. The imagery it invokes also plays a key role in giving this sort of feel to the poem. Very well written, I truly enjoyed this one ^^ Thank you for sharing ^^

Ever tried a hot and cold dessert, like a fried ice-cream? My favorite, you should try!

Yes the dichotomy...:)..in fact i like the entire stanza that follows.
Always keep writing like this...so honestly..with your heart and soul.You put so much of yourself in your writes...not many can do that.There is a whole lot of transparency in your words and it is impossible not to be struck by them.You have a gift..with words.

that final line sums all of the best we could ever hope to get from another.. to have their light cast deep into our own shadows, and reveal what we never knew we held. wonderful

i'm so very glad i delved so deep into your work, Jason

This is beautiful. I think your strongest point, is the way that you set this one up. It doesn't seem choppy at all, but it gives me time to take in what you are saying before the next line comes to take over my senses. Thank you very much for sharing.
