Two sides & one story

There it is

A light blue sea

That stretches miles away from the shore

Not knowing where it exactly it starts or ends

You smile because for once you feel a sense of relaxation and joy

I want to give you everything my dear

Because I get everything in return

The sun plays peak-a-boo

With the clouds that don't really know what they want

You know it won't rain because this day is perfect

You look back and see your life long partner walking towards you

Baby girl wrapped around him looking as if she had just woke up

Baby boy running to his momma arms wide open knowing momma will catch him

And before I know he has leaped into my arms

Husband laying a quick kiss as if, IF fast enough the kids won't notice

We all look over the ocean

And nothing could be more perfect

There it is

A light blue sea

That stretches miles away from the shore

But whats that

Its not joy I feel 

Its disgust 

Disgust at the sight, and mad at the world

The sun is covered by this dark cloud that in seconds begins to light up the sky

In a way that sends shivers down your spine

Fears in your mind and makes even the Gods angry and scream

I close my eyes knowing I've caught the eye of the storm 

And try to picture the beauty I once had, or imagined I had

I almost hear the steps behind me and before I knew it

I jolted my eyes open and turned around

Turned around to nothing but a house starring back at me

To nothing but the clouds telling me to take shelter

The waves kissing my toes telling me if I stay eventually they will over power me 

And as I walk back in this dirty circumstance I can't help but cry

But I can't help but turn back

Looking at the Ocean

And realizing nothing is perfect

This poem is very inspiring. it reminds me of moments that used to be happy memories, but over time those same moments have become dark, and saddening moments. I enjoyed the first part, but the second part really grabbed my attention. I like the unique format as well.

I so love how you play with formats. This was a gorgeous idea. Perfect postcard life versus, the alternative.

Wow you have captured both sides sooo good! I love how the first one is so colorful and the second not so much. I love how dark the second one is. Love it, great job on this one!
