Duals Poems | Examples


Premium MemberMy Bleeding Heart

bedazzled by jewels 
beguiled by the gem of you~
diamond eternal

as fake gold duals
alloys mix unbanding two~
with flames infernal   

tears drowning in pools
blinders tunnel, love eschews~
so notes my journal  
                                   
Love is
Surrounded by Monarch butterflies, 
on migration 
A tingling in your gut
does not defy
A warmness flutters inside
When flowers perfume
When you are near
You feel the same, I shall assume

Love hurts
When rubies now rhinestones,
dullen,  sullen
Diamonds now glass,
cutting deep
Pollen smothers,
I swallow my sorrows
 
My bleeding heart
Let’s stay together
Dowse the drought
Better a diamond with a flaw
than a pebble without

Joy sans grief, a groom-less bride

Full moons fill you with joy, seldom the New,
And pleasure you conceive as good, not pain,
Let me like New Moon that stars can I view, 
As some poets devise ways pain to feign,
Which, helps them pen dirges and elegies, 
Funeral hymns and odes of laments long,
Let them. Days-nights on an eternal lease, 
One can’t be sans its endless twain on song. 

You know, this world is made of dancing duals,
We mortals go for one over the ‘ther,
We tend to choose one of them and fight duels,
The twain though in its dance go together.
   So, let us enjoy full moon till it lasts,
   Even new moon, you’ll see fair magic casts.
E’en God could not have cast coins single side, 
Yea, joy without grief, what a groom-less bride!

Sonnet (tongue-in-cheek) |02.06.06, revised December 2024| 

Poet’s note: A couple enjoys its togetherness under full moon, which the lady liked more. The husband also liked the new moon for a reason. He has his reasons to fall in love with both, or none. Finally, the lady sees the point and adds her own additional couplet at the end of their sonnet.
