Hate Or Love, Your Choice

My fingers smashed on the piano’s keyboard. Let her go. Who needed her? The notes from the piano trembled with anger. Was I blind? Like meteors that smashed into each other, Simply attracted by gravity, Merely finding themselves on the same trajectory. Is that how we fought? Is hate our gravitational force? Do we meet by chance In the vast expanse of the universe? Or because we were supposed to be rational, We searched each other, Just for revenge, for a fleeting moment of hate? Yet hate was so short lived, No satisfaction came with it, Merely the useless thought That someone had achieved some supremacy. Were we blind? Hate can never have the upper hand. For after a while we search and find The void of a sterile life. The door opened and she came for a hug. I felt elated. Our love took the upper hand. The notes from the piano turned soft. It is now a sweet sonata of a love lullaby. 5 January 2021

That’s a wonderful write Victor, in a matter of moments the bubble can burst, something said or something misread, but if love is real those things can be healed ~~ Belle

WoW! Victor, You have composed a well-written write! I agree, hate and love is a choice. I also believe that love is more powerful than hate. I enjoyed the read, my talented friend:-) Alexis

The vast majority goes for love, yet there are those whom choose hate, and most of them have through time being here on Soup. Great poetry, Victor, a poem to make the reader think..Love it.

The magic begins when love prevails. I love the way their emotions was expressed throughout by the music. :=)

You are so right, Victor--hate is an emotion that can consume humanity, not in a good way. I liked the positive ending of your poem. Great advice. The ending line resonates!

Very good Victor. You hit the nail on the head with the feelings that come and go in a close relationship. There is a very thin line between love and hate. You get so very angry with your partner that you see no good in that person. Then when anger abates you can't understand why you felt that way. Well done, God Bless, JB The poem you thought you read for me was the one that was unfinished. I tried to delete it but it won't delete. Do you know how to get it out o there?
