Life truly is a double-edged sword,
The grass is greener on what side of the fence?
Who knows,
But that is life …

send ripples of pain shivering through my body?
Cringe, oh cringe, at the double-edged sword of desire!...

Tempered be thy heart 

Strengthened in the forge of life 

Love is double edged 

When wielded one must use care 

Not to cut on the back swing...

trust is expensive
love is dangerous
loyalty is double-edged
so to live happy on earth
trust, love, obey yourself
otherwise world is filled
with nonsense...

I’m amused
I have with me
a trophy
a red ripe tomato
a beautiful flower
a sharp thorn
a pendulum
a tick tock clock
a ping pong ball
a double-edged pin
my lost rib...

ACHING LOVE 


Your love, 
Sharper than a double-edged 
Sword,
Cut my aching heart in two,
And now
Each part, twice is suffering   
For you!

Our relationship

Is based on a double-edged sword

There’s nothing safe to stand on

You sharpened the blade

Once too many times

Now, even when you don’t intend to kill

You slice both you and I....

Courts can free
or incarcerate the body--
we are subjects of laws,
both legislated
and those self imposed:

"Faith" is a double-edged sword--
it may work fine in heaven 
but fails miserably when it comes
to politicians....

One's and zero's all to show,
Truth and false, don't you know?
The eutopia of life lies in truth.
Tell these wise words to the youth.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
There's a double-edged sword you must acknowledge....

bloodshed of the kings
until Christ arrives
with mournival of aces
a double-edged sword “The Word”
creates; and obliterates evil

had coffee with a colleague
he was young and eager
wanted to play Russian roulette 
because his resources were meagre

the universe conspires with us
granting us whatever we wish
but if fear and doubt makes us blink
boons granted are gone in a swish...

Each of our actions, whether good or evil,

Inescapably

Sharpens the double-edged sword of

Divine justice

That

Is going to be used on judgment day

For

To determine the fate of our soul!

It takes a collection of scars to create
A reminder tattooed with permanence
That love, in all its essence, 
Is but a double-edged blade
That pins together two hearts
Such that they will never be apart
So sharp-edged, though, that it rips in time
Those it is supposed to bind....

Pain is a double-edged sword
Like life 
Like love. ?Pain and rage 
is hell. ?You can choose Pain
Over your Dreams. ?
Love is a double-faced. ?Like life. 
You can hold it. 
Like an unknown object. 

Soul is changeable, 
Like Everything else. 
It is time 
For you 
To choose....

While her moon she bleeds red and his sun, drips bleak..
A double edged sword ? Where these waters rage to cross
Their thresholds; bound, by His hands in time, this witness ?
Soaked of innocent blood her dust ? Dragons dream we sleep
As historia's court jester climbs once more atop pathetics prop....

The word i spit
is so venomous 
step away from the fangs
razor sharp
will cut u deep
like a katana squared
double edged
no taking hostages
run quick
coz my spit
is so sick
it will
cause
explosions
in your mental
with the force
of three supernova's
for when its all over
i will be the star that was birthed...

Mind-body cage, binds and confines
Yet a double edged sword
When with love, head and heart aligns
Our soul’s glow is restored

How long will we flounder
Rekindle love’s wonder 
Mindful, each touch tender

God search carriage 
Mind-body cage

The softest double edged sword 
on my own to not get hurt,
lost inside my vision board; 
Finding a rose in the dirt 
will I become a convert?  

Blunt end of the sharpest blade 
hard not to become dismayed; 
I hope I don’t fall apart 
trusting the words that we trade;
Walls come down around my heart....

A mental pilgrimage
beyond the horizon
of mind,
unrefined.

Self introspection,
pricked my conscience
with your double edged
remarks.

Realization shattered
self-complacency
mushroomed 
in my untamed self.

On the verge
of desolation
I encountered you
my Teacher
who took me
to the unending vista
of imagination....
