Life's Duality

by Michael Charles Messineo — Read all 96 poems by Michael Charles Messineo

Life is not always as it seems, especially in the eye of the beholder.

Thursday, March 2, 2006

Published poems, words and thoughts

seeking connection to what is bought

about the language, phrases and such

has peeked emotions a bit too much. 

 

Secret thoughts, plans and dreams

described succinctly not what it seems

living a path along life's duality

friends don't know the real reality. 

 

To capture that moment of an open door

to satisfy cravings we all want more

we want, we plan, we force the issue

trying to avoid a pause with tissue. 

 

We fill our lives with what is missing

complete our list instead of wishing

push to experience that moment in time

when hearts beat as one in satisfied rhyme.  

 

... Michael Charles Messineo

Looks like another one for the library. You have a gift that very few others seem to posess these days, the ability to distill a complex message into seemingly simple verse.

Michael, this is one of my favorite themes I have written on the duality extensively because it fascinates me. You have written a superb poem which shows you have grasped how duality effects our lives. Thanks for sharing. Good to see you;-)

Love the message in this, Michael. We find our brightest ideas flowing a lot of times through personal emotion. Let someone dear to us utter the magic words, "Our hearts beat as one in satisfied rhyme," sparks of fresh enthusiasm flicker, then burst into new flame. Life's Duality is a rhyme of reason, of season, of difference, and of same. Well done, Michael!

Long time no see,
Good to see you write so free,
Your power of speech has not lessened with time,
You have as always created another interesting rhyme...Ed
