Two sides to the same coin



Dusk appears over the landscape
Yet the moon seems hopeful.
Days are bright and cheerful,
But it is the night that seems happy.
A little treasure box,
Its lid inscribed, with verses
With words unspoken
With poems unwritten
With stories unheard.
The sun, trapped.
With only its radiance revealed
Through tiny gaps and holes.
Its heat of utmost agony.
On an ancient string of feelings
Occur some flaws with time.
The thread wears out
Through constant use.
Bonds weaken, energy is lost.
The heart, mind and soul,
Collapse under the pressure
Of the tension created.
The two ends of the lifeline,
Pulled across the length
To be ripped apart.
The anguish and pain exceed limit-
And then comes the night...
With its cool breeze
And calm demeanour,
Releases the tension, the stress, the pressure.
Rejuvenating the heart, mind and soul.
The body might bear the marks
But to serve only as bitter-sweet memories
On achieving the ultimate goal.
It is the day that is lost,
And the night that lives on...
The stars maybe out of reach,
At least, the moon appears clear tonight.
However...
Without the sun, the moon is nothing...
Without the sun, the moon is nothing.

well well the moon is here and the sun is still bright, the night has dawned.....but its as bright as mid day light........its a lovely poem.........but has lot of pain and agony written all over.....as usual there are a few scripts which portray confused mind of the author...is really amazing how the flow of this poem gives life to the voice of the reader....
i like this poem ....i hope the author is in a better state of mind and ease at heart by now......take care and if love can make u feel better u have every bit of mine
