Life truly is a double-edged sword,
The grass is greener on what side of the fence?
Who knows,
But that is life …
~ Pauly G
Why must a shared smile and a high five
send ripples of pain shivering through my body?
Cringe, oh cringe, at the double-edged sword of desire!
The double edged sword of justice should be held by the steady hand of the righteous!

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!

Indecisiveness,
Life seems a double edged sword,
You die either way !

What more?
sure I have a tear
what for?
love a double edged sword
the loss
makes me bleed
over and over
again and again
I cling to yesterday
so that tomorrow
the torture will never end
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

*mournival - set of 4, comes from the French word meaning a “slap in face.”
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

Quietus
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.
unhappy with the reflection
mirror a double edged weapon
wielded with an arm of hate
disappointment cuts like a blade
curse that mirror
she stabs in my heart
not me
that's not me
image reflecting is not mine
her mistakes are her own
bless this child
i must
must protect this life
growing within
her mistakes are her own
Prayer
open door to heaven - devil’s descent at such prospects
teeth and claws - the nails on the cross
light seeps through Christ’s wounds - more sheep gather
angels take notice - boldness of blood, sweat and tears
angels and demons - double-edged sword slashes perversity
prayer’s perspicacity - heaven wins
The divine spear embroiders
the flowery thought.
The contemplative
luminescence,
like a double-edged
sword slices through
the astral intellect
