Carole Duet Poet Couplet

Love and Hate

I loved your song
that made me forget all that’s wrong.

I loved your smile
that made me smile too for a while.

I loved your friendship
that made me feel sweet kinship.

I loved your art
printed on my mind and on my heart.

I loved your poetry so deep
that swept me off my feet.

Now I hate my love that was true
but now is black and blue.

I hate your love that took flight
with a black bird of black night.

I hate the tears I’ve shed in vain.
I hate this love pain.

I hate my need and I hate my heart.
I hate this life of which you aren’t a part.

I hate this love sorrow.
I hate it now and I’ll hate it tomorrow.

Andrea Dietrich July 9, 2018 at 5:58 PM Nice one for his contest, Carole. I like the contrasting effect of what you love and hate. Carole Duet July 11, 2018 at 9:07 PM Thanks, Andrea. Carole

Paul Callus July 9, 2018 at 1:06 PM You have presented two opposing/contrasting pictures, Carole.

Andrea Dietrich June 29, 2018 at 8:02 PM I LOVE how you did this, Carole. Is it an entry for any contest. It's really nice, and the song you chose above it is a big fave of mine as well. Carole Duet July 7, 2018 at 6:21 PM Thank you, Andrea, for giving me the idea to enter a contest with this poem. I placed. :D Carole Carole Duet June 30, 2018 at 6:08 PM Thank you, Andrea. No, it's not for a contest. Carole

Demetrios Trifiatis June 29, 2018 at 7:00 AM Both Love and Hate are expressed in a unique inspiring way dear, Carole! Excellent writing! Carole Duet June 30, 2018 at 6:09 PM Thank you, Demetrios. Carole

Constance La France June 28, 2018 at 4:21 PM Carole, a terrific poem and love the song too, well done !!! Carole Duet June 28, 2018 at 11:35 PM Thank you, Broken Wings. Carole

Maria Williams June 28, 2018 at 1:31 AM I really can understand where you are coming from Carole in this wonderful emotive write, and at the risk of seeming hard and unemotional (and again this is strictly speaking for myself) I would say that things pass, love passes, hurt passes,one door closes, another opens. I would look for the one that opens and stays open my dear friend. A fave for the emotions....Maria hugs Carole Duet June 28, 2018 at 11:39 PM Thank you, Maria. I am such a dreamer....Carole :(

Elaine George June 26, 2018 at 9:32 PM I agree with Teppo. Carole Duet June 28, 2018 at 11:40 PM Okay, Elaine. Thanks for reading. Carole

Silent One June 25, 2018 at 7:57 AM Always sad when something beautiful turns ugly.. Life is too short to hate Carole, it only causes a burden for us... I did like your rhymes and flow.. Carole Duet June 25, 2018 at 1:58 PM Thank you, ZZ. You are right. Carole :(

Vijay Pandit June 24, 2018 at 6:34 AM You described them well Carole..everyone has some of both at sometime in life..well captured emotions. Carole Duet June 25, 2018 at 12:13 AM Thanks, Vijay. Carole

Tim Smith June 24, 2018 at 4:42 AM Cherish the love and memories and let the hatred go Carole Duet June 25, 2018 at 12:12 AM Thank you, Tim. I will try. Carole

Viv Wigley June 24, 2018 at 12:17 AM Indeed, Carole, as Lyric points out, hatred remains a bond. A sad but fine write. Viv x Carole Duet June 25, 2018 at 12:10 AM Thank you, Viv. Caroe

Lyric Man June 23, 2018 at 10:36 PM Carole.. hate and love live next door to one another. Both control your emotions. The opposite of love is not hate, it's to be forgotten, completely ignored in thoughts as well as actions. As long as you hate there's a chance! Carole Duet June 23, 2018 at 11:17 PM Thank you, LM. I know you're right. I have edited the poem. Come back!
