Your Riddle

Your Riddle

A Poem by thenakedverse

Does not the sun hide shadow
Behind his shield of light?
Can not the eyes be objects of
Your blindness or your sight?

Do tears not fall in graceful bliss
but also when in grief?
Can memories be blessings

or a present-stealing thief?
Does fear or fast desire

speed the pulse at every measure?
Does steady breath grow shallow
when in pain or quiet pleasure?
Can not bullets claim an ending
and yet also mark the start?
Does love, in time, not hold the strength
to hurt and humor heart?

For one are two and two are one
but each can make it true.

I’ll never know enough, my dear,
to know which one was you.

This is the second one I read, which angered me, because it was, I believe, much better than the first, which I gave a 99. I believe this to be exponentially better than the first, so 100 isn't a good enough rating. It actually made me feel very inferior as a poet, still I must applaud you for this art.
