Janus Face

Two faces; two juxtaposed deportments; two qualities;
On one hand, past pains; on the other, future jollities
Janus, the Roman god of progress and dualities
Dwells with keys of the door, gate, and threshold formalities

I have it. Each one has. One is true. The other is false.
Safe like love and hope; heard-earned treasure-like brings many walts
Springing like hemlocks from mental mud insecurities
Brings manipulative and deceptive impurities.

Trust erodes; communion corrodes; inner turmoil is born.
With anger, fear, and sadness, equilibrium is torn.
Vocation is jeopardized; calm communion is curtailed;
Energy and synergy quirks and smirks are veiled and failed.

Confidence, compassion, and creativity are must.
Together with honesty, loyalty, love, hope, and trust
Learning from the past and flourishing into the future
And living and letting live be our monistic nature

Bosom buddies, eh, Christuraj. The inseparableness that quantifies the moods of an exacting persona. Who'll breach the other, Dr. Jekyll or Mr Hyde, or could they be a 3rd and so on ... Cheers to your winning expose on said Janus Face in Edwards Contest, my friend. Aloha, William

We all have a twin personality, an admirable side and the other abominable.....! Which weighs more is the question. If we have more of love, loyalty. honesty and trust, we are good human beings. Along with what is true, if we put on a false show, we become Janus faced. You have delved deep into the subject. A well deserved win dear Chris. Congratulations.
