Poet Tellaferro Poet Rhyme

Pleasure n Pain

Pleasure, pain
Weave through the fabric of days
Two threads intertwine
Pulling on opposite sides
One soft as dawn’s first light
The other, sharp as twilight

Cutting through the silence 
In the dance of oppression
We taste the sweetness only after the salt
In the warmth of touch, the pricking of thumb

We know the absence of one
The heart opens wide to none
Risking everything for the fleeting moments
Where joy and sorrow blur at the razers edge
We stand bare to the winds, bleeding
Hoping to catch the sun
Before the rain begins

Yet, in each wave
In each rise and fall
There is a rhythm
Reminder of life, mystery
Pleasure and pain
Guiding our hand to regions unknown
Tides drawn by a distant moan

Pleasure and pain
Hand in hand
Shadows intertwined in between 
Sun, moon in stars
In the taste of sweetness, of bitterness
In every bloom, thorns rise 

Dance of joy, sorrow, macabre 
Spins in circles of lost melodies
That hums in quiet moments
Where laughter falls, and tears swell
From the sky, none at all 

The heart beats in silence
Secret keeps
We reach oblivious thoughts
Darkness lingers close by our heart
Both are bound by threads
For in the cradle of one

To the grave of other whispers
Pleasure and pain, opposites detain
But echoes of the same desire
To know the world 
Is to see the god

To break the mind
Is to heal the insane
