There are two sides to a coin Heads and tails There are two forces of nature Evil and good There are two truths in a story Yours and mine There are two paths you can go by Up or down There are two points of a destination Beginning or end There are two parts of a day Light and dark There are two heavenly bodies Sun and moon There are two types of acquaintances Friend and foe There are two basic emotions Love and hate There are two states of being Alive and dead But only one reality (not really a poem i think, just my personal hell) |

EXCELLENT WOW, a great deal of thought went into this one and it reads so smoothly. I think this is perhaps one of my favorite of yours  |

No way Ruth! That just goes to show how you might think lowly of one thing, and someone else sees something different in it. I honestly sort of hated this one myself. But it shows me so personally, I kept it. Thanks for making me look at it in different light. |

your hell...our poetic pleasure... this is way cool jer, and yes it does speak of your mind and the way it works..DEEPLY  There are two heavenly bodies Sun and moon There are two types of acquaintances Friend and foe There are two basic emotions Love and hate There are two states of being Alive and dead But only one reality -------------------------- stalking you in many ways... your jm Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules Do you care what is thought by others about you If this day is all that is promised to you Do you live for the present, the future the past... tracy chapman |

Reality, however, can be a multifaceted state of actuality. Wonderful poem. ~ Claire |

Hi JML, This is powerful, and you would think that with only two choices in life that could be made, life would be eazy. Cerenity |

Thank you all for reading. I am glad to provoke deep thinking. Reality is the only word in the English language that should always be used in quotes. |
