The Power of Ambivalence

by Chriscinthia Blount, Sagittarius - Not entered

We were never introduced
but with our eyes
we spoke frequently.

Through my eyes
I see that you would hurt me.
And seeking vengeance,
I would hurt you.

I never touched you
yet we were quite intimate
in our dreams.
Through these moments
I feel that you would satisfy me
but air, bitter-sweet
eliminates all satisfaction.

To dismiss your presence
cripples my soul.
Yet to acknowledge you
is to reminisce.

You, familiar-stranger
are in my mind forbidden.
I stand before you
only by the power of ambivalence.

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this poem because I am fascinated by the two souls
within each of us that are constantly at war.
