Parallel Emotions-Love and Hate

Parallel Emotions - Love and Hate"

between love and hate
a fine line separates 
two emotions
para-interlocking devotions
easier to love someone
hate usurps more energy
power inflicts hurt 
into this tapestry
cross lines to emote feelings
jagged edges like daggers
smoothed and soothed 
by love
sweet love 
conquers life 
ultimately.

© Harry J Horsman  2012


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love and Hate - The Hate bit 

If you had not bequeath your love
One so pure as a virgin's touch,
Heavenly Angel from above
This life I desired so much.
I would not know now
How to hate alone in desolation,
Unlucky in love is my fate
Condemned to immolation,
Memories, alas, do not fade
The hostility festers strong
This septic wound from cutting blade
Belie's a love that proved so wrong.

Harry Horsman

Thank you, Harry, for your kind words and best wishes. I so enjoyed this poem - sad but extremely well written. Most of us get the wrong end of the stick in love at some point in time or another, the only way is to believe that you will find true love if you just keep on trying! Cheers, Maureen
