Two Way Poems - Poems about Two Way

Torn between two worlds
I'm torn between two distant worlds ~ one steeped in wickedness and sin, the other pure and righteous; my mind drifts like oil on water. Alluring is the glory of heaven, promised if I remain pure and holy, yet enticing is the frivolity hidden in jollity they call "sin." My mind imagines the afterlife the Bible depicts, yet I savour worldly pleasures my flesh...

Two on a Bridge
The October moon winked in the cover of midnight darkness and I saw love in her eyes —love she’s been doing her best to hide all this while — not minding the stroke of midnight when hearts pound loudest among those who keep vigil for love....

The Two-Cent Daffodil
The Two-Cent Daffodil My Nana Pat, with a careful hand and eye, Would've loved this stamp, a piece of sky. Two daffodils, sun-kissed and so bright, Held in a square of soft, creamy light. I can picture her now, with her albums open wide, A small world of paper and ink by her side. With tweezers so gentle, she'd settle each one, A...

Premium Member When the Truth Broke in Two
I remember the first question I never had the courage to speak. I feared I would not receive an answer, and feared even more if I did. words were born from hunger, not from dreams. I had no dreams, only roads walked by others, and I clung to the edge of their shadows, like a child forbidden to ask where is the mother. Wisdom is a...

When they become a toxin in your mind when they steal, lie and threaten your life even if their blood it's time to cut ALL ties. Your heart was not meant to be used as a spittoon your mind was not meant to be used as a trampoline for their a flimsy-half assed sobriety. Walk away, cut them loose...

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...

Summer is a time of wanderlust and fun with long days and warm nights A season to enjoy the outdoors as we cultivate our many gardens of life The days are now getting shorter as nature slowly starts to rest into slumber Hummingbirds take their last sip of nectar before their fall departure Leaves start to transform from...

They quickly pass, the waning days more brief, like love once shied beneath a garish moon, expose the truths betrayed by Autumn's thief. Infatuation always ends too soon ~ still tethered to the oak, a hopeful leaf... for Andrea's "Half Past Summer" Contest...
