Two sides & one story

Two sides & one story

A Poem by XO Vee

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!
