Wonderful verse of the two sides of feelings. Great use of images - dark as ground/ light as rose petals. For every dark day, a lighter day is coming very inspiring verse. :)

How creatively you show the two sides of choice and falling and rising to our negative and positive experiences. I also feel in death your philosophy applies as well. To go to the love and light and not linger in negativity is the way to go, I believe. A poem full of wisdom so excellently written. 10 love Karin

'On Its Two Sides ' is defined with accuracy as the Poem's consensus is bound to a sanguinely sort of feller, and with the antagonists’ tale skiving towards Self-Motivational Poetry, the picture I got upon reading this was that of an impetus beyond the Gallows sort. In this it did indeed prove as being keen and with a fair share of originality to boot. Yet with the frustrated Protagonist, who I must add served quite fitting as a forerunner in being descendent upon morbid supremacy, what this verse brought to mind when reading was the story of Persephone; who, in being told as mythopoeic, was youth, sun, warmth, yet her death was the quenching of a bonfire in the middle of the Sahara. And to me at least, I can see this Poem highly correlating to reality's faux-pas relationship in the 'real reality'- and tho' most certainly did try, I still cannot argue as to this. Now, I won't relegate flow, rhymes ‘n’ all that, cos I can see you're pretty much lauded out on that aspect already...hehe. Therefore I'll only say the exemplum here was authentic and succeeded in being both mythical and real. Cool verse, one of which I jolly enjoyed knockin' around me head fer a spell. Keep well, 'Anna
