Ah love…

Such a fickle thing

Twisted and haunting

Warm and inviting

Together they prosper

Cannot have one without the other

Our ying and yang

Some welcome the pleasure

Accepting the pain

A never ending free fall

Into potential insanity

Others declare it a fairy-tale  

Captured in books woven by mystics

Never taking the fatal plunge

Lucky b******s some say

Unfortunate b******s others say

Perfectly capturing the agony and the ecstasy of that fickle fiend, love. I wonder if love was on writerscafe, how many people would accept a friend request and how many would block it. It would probably make my head explode trying to decide. :)

I love how you have brought the two and woven them into singular poem - not many compare both sides of love against each other :) Great job!

Thank you for your review!

The thing I love about this poem is that it shows the good and bad sides of love. There's the ying and there's the yang. What a great concept to write about, good job. :)

A tricky concept to most, unforgiving but unforgettable, when experienced feels almost infinite but when lost is if you've lost a part of yourself, so unlucky? If you have ever lost love that word doesn't even come close to capturing the devastation it leaves behind but lucky is the name of anyone fortunate enough to experience it to begin with, it's worth the pain to just know it once......well written poem indeed

Thank you for taking the time to read this and review it. I am glad i was able to make you think about the meaning in this piece.

that's all what love's pretty about.

mostly, we -- the youth -- are much into this so-called "love-thing" which unfortunately, perhaps, not so inadvertently, impact on our lives so badly. yes, it's true, the pleasure can't be found without pain nor the pain's available out there with out the tantrums of pleasure at all so it's quite bewitching to see how frequently love affects as well as effects, & further impacts on each and every one of our lives. however, whatever it does to hearts, love's love that we can't live without. ah.. poor us. very deeply written. nice imagery here, as always,

Hmmmm.....The thoughts are running through my mind now. I guess it could be both lucky and unfortunate. Meaning if you have found the one and this is the person willing to be there for you and love you through whatever then you're the lucky one. But if your situation is one of those where you've been cheated and lied to and given up on, yet you have loved that person through it all thats where it becomes unfortunate. Thank you for sharing and this thought process was definitely needed. Thank you so much for involving the reader in your thought process.
