Premium Member The Roman God Janus' Coin

People have two sides
Like The Roman God Janus' coin
A good side, a bad side
A past, a future
One must embrace both in
Someone we love


Janus

Just like humans, Janus
Juxtaposes two sides
Jared in the same vessel,
Just the name, “gatekeeper”,
Jettisons his salient
Justly potent power,
Janus is lord of time.

I have a face
both front and rear..
see now..as I draw near

I am a door
to this year and last..
tomorrow and the past

I was a God,
some did call me..
their heavenly deity

No longer distant
close not afar..
I now begin a calendar

Brian Strand Personification of  January

And Janus Lives On

Said a passing year,
Janus, look not to the rear,
Life’s lived forward gear.

Still, past’s such a lure
And no less so is future,
‘Now’ grins to endure.

And Janus lives on
In everyone from there on,
On dilemma’s horn!

Janus

She's a goddess, true poetry in motion.
The kind that has you sacrificing yourself in devotion.
Hypnotised, I move her sway.
With no question of acceptance, live to dance in her ballet.
I found a light, a beacon of perfection. 
Then once I'm at worst I find it's lies and misdirection.

Janus

The sky looks today like an old bone
not just gray but unearthed and burnt by long eons.

Yesterday was as fresh as a meadow daisy
it made every eye gleam
what happened?

Did the world grow tired of living with us
or am I weary of these see-through heavens
wrapped in a mare's tail of hades?

Janus Awakens

Janus opens the door after a long sleep
And looks through the gate of the past,
Now says farewell to all that’s been done
Until turning his head to the future,
And walks in one direction for all to follow.
Restart has begun and it’s now a new
Year, and Janus can once again sleep.

Premium Member JANUS-

Your head of two faces
In the spiritual realm 
You are evasive 
A head in the front 
A head in back halo 
Awesome you react 
You forget what's behind 
You wander why you remember 
What's before you,  you are two fold 
You are double faces 
Multifaceted your pride 
Evasive you are the wind
 a Burning flame you were giving many.    
          chances, your name Janus
