Two Sides

Open doors and open windows.
Sneaking out and staying late.
Closed doors and closed windows.
Sleeping in and staying quiet.

Closed doors and open windows.
Whispering words and waining kisses.
Open doors and closed windows.
Waiting for you and walking about.

Unmade beds.
Hugs and kisses and smiles.
Made beds.
Written words never sent and sleepless nights and angry thoughts.

"I'll see you tomorrow, I love you."
"I'm sorry for what I did, just come back and I can fix it, I promise. I love you."

Author's Note

I'm not too sure about this poem/thing, but I wrote it real quick because I was bored and hated logging on here without putting something up. I guess I took it as a two sides of a relationship, hence the title, or maybe like a before and after of some event; I can see it both ways.

Hope y'all enjoy it and as always, please leave comments, suggestions, etc!

I liked the poem.

You left the reader to ponder on thoughts and actions. The goal of the writer. The above lines are amazing. I could write a complete poem from those thoughts. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

That's always my mission! Leave the reader with tons of thoughts and that air of mystery that makes them think of all the ways the story could end/continue! If you ever want to write something based on or as a response to my writing, please (please!) do! I have had some other reviewers do that and then they will send it to me in the mail; I love it!

Thank you as always, Coyote!

You are welcome. If I use some lines. I shall ask permission. I believe we must read to write.

[K.]

Okay, and you are welcome to use some lines! Hope you write it!

I added poem to favorite. I'm off to work for four days. I will create the poem and give you direction when done.

[K.]

Thank you, and sounds great! Can't wait!

If you writing something real quick produces this you have real talent. The open and closed in asymmetry works well for me.

Love it.

That's what I do most of the time! Just writing something and then automatically putting it up here without too much of an edit. I'm glad that actually worked to my advantage this time, haha! thank you very much.

There are always two perspectives, sides, stories... Understanding is important, communication and transparency often are hard to come by. I like the push / pull...

[K.]

You saying that makes me realize I write a lot of things with two sides/perspectives, it's surprising to realize that! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[Cherry Pepperweb]

You're welcome. :)

pls do not think me ill but this made me smile. very clever of you to write this unique piece! sorry but must smile at brilliance and this was sooooooooo that!

[K.]

I'm glad you appreciated it so much! I thought the opposites worked well together, but it could definitely use some revisions. Thank you for reading and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Love this! The sweetness and melancholy flowed softly throughout this lovely piece

[K.]

Not actually one of my favorite poems I've written, but I'm glad you could enjoy it!

[jeannemarie coulter]

if only we could always see things from every angle...so much less hurt and sadness in our world...this is quite thought provoking and well penned...thank you...

[K.]

Thank you so much, jeannemarie! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[Adam Adams]

I love the ending of your poetry. Very thought-invoking. It clearly displays that how much you loved someone. Whatever mess you done with love, you craved for making it correct, fixing it all till end so you longed to have everything back even the love that once you let go cause... you thought it'll bring you hurt. Wonderful title you've chosen to your write! It defines... implies the real nice meaning of what your heartfelt/melancholy but loving/caring thoughts're 'bout. Great job, Kess!

[K.]

I always love reading your reviews! They're also so true and written so eloquently. Thank you so much for reading and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

If you liked this, you might like another poem I wrote just before this, it's called "Twice. It's a similar kind of idea (about love), just written in an unconventional format. Hope you like it!

[Emily]

I liked the way you presented the poem. Nice work!

[K.]

A little different than my normal stuff... I'm glad you liked it!

[Stan Lee]

Thank you!!

"Unmade beds.
Hugs and kisses and smiles."
That's how love should be; it's always more important to be making love in the bed than worrying about what the damn thing looks like when nobody is around!
"I'm sorry for what I did." or said. Words are like machetes; in the wrong hands, somebody's life can be ruined.
Good job, Kassie.

[K.]

Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I especially loved this line of your review: "Words are like machetes; in the wrong hands, somebody's life can be ruined."

Thanks again, Rick!
