I understand why you do,
You don’t know why I don’t,
the eternal divide between us
yet
radiating paths to the light
do not darken love,
the eternal bind that ties us

Nice neat conflict in your poem. I am loving what you have done with your blog layout, looks really good.
Thanks, Cin – a makeover was overdue
Too right, bb, such conflicting emotions/choices we humans face, …I always wonder if I feel a certain way ‘cos of obligation? … How does one know for sure?… and why am I asking questions? 😉 Must be that Friday feeling. xPenx
Thanks, Pen – the contemplations do seem to takeover towards the weekend – have a happy one 🙂
Evocative
Thanks, Nursemyra. Our choices determine the nature of our journeys, I guess
Aint that the truth – sums up parts of my family – good one bluebee 🙂 great contrasting photos to go with the poem!
Thanks, Gabe – what are families for if not love and to stir things up?! 😉
Oh my. Wish I could say I don’t know what you are poeming about here. Nicely done …
Me too, Jamie 😉 Thanks
There are always so many paths to choose. I wish I didn’t hear you, either, like Jamie, but I sure do know what you’re talking about. Your line ‘You don’t know why I don’t’ – WOW, that says it all. Very nicely done!
Thanks, Selma – lots of twists and turns aren’t there? What’s interesting for me is reflecting on the paths we take deliberately versus those we don’t but find ourselves down them anyway
Awesome – lovely – wonderful – perfect. You could say I like this a lot.
Thank you, Monica – it’s lovely to have you back visiting 🙂
Lovely use of contrasts, and complet yet concise poetry, BB
John
Thank you, John 🙂
