MY ADDED VERSUS: Bows on solemn flower blooms and scented layers of flared perfume flow down rows of headstones and tombs. I've looked at death that way. But now I tend to ask God why people visit and freshly cry. We all know when loved ones die they rise on His stairway. I've looked at death from both sides now from heart to soul and...

One Coin, Two Sides
What's true for you even if it is insanity may not be the same for me as we each have our own reality 'There's two sides to every coin' some are said to say 'But what about the edge, when one is on display, showing tails and the obverse?' as a numismatist I insist even a mirror reflects the reverse yet when confronted with a conundrum maybe...

Premium Member Flipping Between Parallel Sides
When the walls of my world crumble right in, I slip through a portal to begin Again in a softer place, where the veil is thin - On this other side I always win. Some call it dreaming, some call it flight, But I call it flipping, when strife is too tight. Changing lanes sure beats a road-rage fight, I can switch...

The Sun Never Chooses Sides
We walked under the same sky, but carried different forecasts. your silence was a sandstorm and mine a drought. Yet we mistook our survival as our strength. I was parched with waiting and you were eroded by wind. World saw our resilience not the cracks. How I begged for rain or How you vanished behind gusts. They said strong woman is "silent" They said strong man is...

mother child nestled encircled sings a lullaby shouts rebuke forever giving endless forgiving cuddles with soft hands scolds with look of eyes a candle that gently guides a flint that fires up the child kisses heals with tender grace hugs forgives all falls from grace silence teaches more than words songs unsung are yet...

two sides of the coin
We could cure all man's diseases, but we couldn`t cure humanities sickness. So I`ll bring back history's greatest minds, to rescue ourselves from these dark, dark days the gloominess caused by the mistrust of today. As life crumbled, it was surrounded by the worlds decay, Conflict: male vs female; a war between the sexes, a hatred without an end. The seeds of this...

Two Sides of Me
I have given up So I can never say I gave it my all The only thing I can admit was The weight of failures held me down No one can convince me that There is always a reason to keep trying Because when the sun starts to rise The darkness remains I refuse to believe that There is hope for me So I always remember...

Premium Member The beat goes on
Since you have been gone A lot of water has passed under the bridge A mixed bag of events have occurred Leaving behind earth-shaking calamities Difficult to quantify As confusion like whirlwind Keeps spreading and threatening The very fabric of National Cohesion Nobody knows what to believe anymore As looters of our commonwealth Keep spewing...

two sides to every story
I know there’s two sides to every story But I’m scared to know yours Is it how you loved me and cared for me Until you were torn Was it that you were everything and I was just too much Was it how you always asked before you went to touch I’m scared to know what...

Premium Member Three sides to every Story
Truth is the singing spark within your soul and the compassionate veins of the porcelain moon, composing lullabies like an arcane talisman, when words are mere daggers to the heart that aches for an empathetic empyrean. I’ve written tales with tortured ink in silence beneath starless skies, when the music of life fades into salt-soaked sands, drenched in monotonous beads of obsidian mists, listening to the golden grains in the wishing well, whisper...

Three Sides to Every Story
It’s not just about you and me, There’s a space between us, A place we can’t quite see, Where we need to take a deeper plunge. Share your story, and I’ll share mine, But let’s not forget the third strand that weaves us together, The portrait reflects our colours. A sage once said...
