duality
duality belongs to the following groups:
1 In The Beginning - Ancient Practices, Core [C.O.R.E], Gay Men, Parallel Dimensions, Politics, Race, Sexuality and Culture, Riginals, The Red Writing Room, Up & Coming Writers and WMGwho roams these halls
where walls lay rotting
in sacramental tears
precognition of dark ways
man should not know
for fears
illuminate the path
below the fold
treachery holds the demon
smiling eyes in the night
hide a seething heart
beating a pulse not it’s own
the timid stand idle
as brave men run
to tend a monkey’s wedding
in the rain
and in the sun
invisible
BEAUTIFUL MY DEAR ANGEL ! ;-))) HOPE YOU HAVE A MAGIC ENENING AND A BEAUTIFUL DREAM AT NIGHT – BISOUS !

There’s something sublimely soft and sad about this poem and yet it hints of hope at the very end, as usual, your writing touches the soul. :-)

Duality is like like a code I live by. I think nature and humankind are all structured around the concept in many ways. Very emotional as always. Your imagination is your greatest asset to your work.
You’re amazing Handsome.

Once again you tap into some instinctive core insight that reminds each of us that yes, there are two sides to us and that all of it is to be embraced if we are to find the right balance and expose the light that is truly who we are. This is so evocatively you, dear one – and oh how I’ve missed this connection!
butchart replied
maybe we are getting closer to our “highest truths” my dear…....... :)
as laways..thank you for all you do for my spirit…........ love….....b
bearpaw

Everything is not as it seems. This is not a poem you can easily walk away from. I love the topsy turvy images in this poem. Lovely
butchart replied
so true… everything has it’s mirrored counterpart… and i think we owe it to ourselves to explore and embrace that darker side….... (again… thank you for all your kind words today)....... love and light…...b
Wordslinger
Nice one b. Enigmatic, paradoxical. Mystical.
butchart replied
thank you so much my friend….... i guess sometimes my best thoughts come from a more abstract place…... i’m very glad something spoke to you in this…...... peace and light…...b
