Misspent youth with passions ebbing lives lived in a cold, hostile dread lies shrouded in sacred vows given truth left hidden in words unsaid. A cold passion in battles waged while children became the prize enduring pawns to warrior parents not knowing which one to despise. Years of agony and the battle raged no victory for either side peace will reign in the house of war only when the combatants have died. When did the line ‘tween love and hate get so battered and so muddied Who gave the signal to the battle join who was first, beaten and bloodied. Tormented love, triumphant hate joined in wedlock profane finding battles won or lost in wretched delight, victorious pain. ** Note: this was one of the very first challenge phrases I ever wrote from. It preceeds Passions in Poetry by a few months (I think). When I first met Ron, he was posting on the old 'miningco.com' website (it's about.com now). The group of poets there were doing challenges and this phrase was one I suggested (my future daughter in law came up with it). Ron's was so much better than mine and so different. It's amazing how we can all take a few words and see something different in them. I LOVE doing this.  |

Very cool. I love how you alternate between neutrality and self-contradiction in this poem, to equally regard the sides of love and hate... I also like the battle imagery. Really cool stuff... Enjoyed reading this, even if it's older than PIP...  post something new soon, okay?Parasite Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. |
