Three sides to every story

In the calm spaces of thump ripples three gossamer shadows gather, each a whisper of what once was, three stories spilled, but which is true? The first speaks of love, its tender seed sown, nurtured in a guffaw, but fear grew wild, a vine gripping heartstrings, dimming the sunlight of shared days. The second, a tide of maim, pulls memories like driftwood, twisting truth into knots, the biting bitterness beckons where sweetness silently soared, peril paints a symphony of scorn. And then, there lingers a lull a third tale, temptingly untouched by time teeming with the tension of absence where shadows dance chaotically, and the heart aches for gasping, but the pages remain unwritten. Oh, how views can splinter like shards! in this kaleidoscope of shores, some forget the bridges, prefer to carve their own, with axes of anger, overlooking the opulent warmth within the walls that welcomed them. Beneath the fabric of any fray cradles the gentle shell of dreams every edge an enigmatic element lingering in the loss, but those who stow away the shards miss the beauty of the mosaic. We of the human chase— strolling through a flawed frontier— drift like delicate dew, dancing and dissolving never quite catching a glimpse, of how one heart pulses in utopian synergy with another.

Dr sotto, this poem flows with such wisdom, and your use of three sides here is very creative, i long to be where there is lull and tranquility, but ofcourse theres three sides one must face and endure! The depth of this woven with excellent diction and metaphors as well as alliterations makes this poem stand out! I especially loved “ Oh, how views can splinter like shards! in this kaleidoscope of shores, some forget the bridges, prefer to carve their own, with axes of anger,” views can be complex and yes perspectives all differ from person to person. Best wishes for the contest. Sending you light always

Another creative piece Lasaad. "Oh how views can splinter the shards ...within the walls that welcomes them." Paragraph message in the way you shared is so impressive to read my friend. How differently you can get a message across is truly impressive. Thank you for sharing my friend. God bless...
