Ok a lil background on this poem...it's one poem meant to be read by color...The first part I wrote was the black parts then I wrote the red in response

You envision the delicacy of their life,
Blindly, you realize the perils of life,
Pleasant scenarios of purity release silent resilience,
Distasteful schemes of corruption confine distructive misfortune,
Skin deep beauty surfaces to the touch of the hands,
Repulsive thoughts surface to corrode the hands upon touch,Gracious impacts of voice bring passionate remnants from the pure aroma's cerebral,
Abrupt life altering screams bring decay, encasing remnants from the cerebral's aroma,
Fragrance ventilates just beyond golden waterfalls in a lovely state,
Putrid smells surround you from the depths of a pit in a dark wicked state,
Illustrious in movement, as rare a sight as snow in the depths of a rainforest,
Ordinary in motion, as painful to sight as genocide in the small cities across seas,
"My love for you is invincible to negativity" rings melodically through my mind...
"My love for you is vulnerable to negativity" screeches scornfully through my mind...

I like the call and response in this piece. Love the idea of speaking from both ends of the spectrum on this. Love is so many times exactly as you have described it here. I really like this piece.

Hi KINGACE - Very interesting picture you painted with your words... Interesting choice of language, as you describe the relationship of two contemporaries - I'm not quite sure if the two voices are enemys or if they're just having some kind of political back-and-forth:

The Following Text Is Quoted:

Putrid smells surround you from the depths of a pit in a dark wicked state,
Illustrious in movement, as rare a sight as snow in the depths of a rainforest,

Very interesting choice of language here - The back-and-forth is almost as palpable to the palate, as is a good tennis match is a feast for the eyes...

I would really like to know your motivation/inspiration for penning such an interesting poem. I also like to agree with SHAWNIE: "I like the call and response in this piece."

Thanx for sharing!

Jacquii.

King....As stated prior, I also like the back & forth structured format of this piece. Very well written, excellent word combinations, and imagery! Very, very, laudable indeed! Has a tempo that is smooth about it. It is amazing how you intensly wrote the opposition, to sound ....well... beautiful, by using those sculptured word choices! Very creative!!! Yes, "LOVE" is Two-Faced! Loved it!

Much Luv'...~*Painted Diary*~ aka ~*Kim*~

King, What was your inspiration here? Did you experience such a relationship, if I may ask? Just curios as you do not have to respond if question is deemed too personal. Thank you for sharing a small masterpiece with us.

Well I honestly am not sure what was my intial reason for the black part but I wrote the red part as the black's opposite in the same scenario...and i'm currently going through a situation like this with my ex girl friend, i'll let you guess who's who

I construe this poem to be light/dark, yin-yang. This piece is balanced, KingAce, you have a matching positive force for the negative force. This is truly how we live, we have a duality nature. Poems like this convey emotion and we can learn from them. This is like in psychology in a therapy group where you are placed in the hot seat and the therapist has you change seats when you assume the other identity. I really like this poem. It makes your readers think. And we must think!
