TWO

by Michael Lloyd, Still a Cappy - Not entered

what I hate and what I love
make up the things my life's made of
if I did not love or did not hate
I'd lose one eye on the world's state

but we need two eyes to truly see
one sees you and the other me
together my eyes unite the world
like an untangled web that lays unfurled

like a marriage ring each lover shares
if one is lost the other despairs
for two is bliss in natural law
where goodness is balanced by the flaw

two me two you we're all the same
with everything doubled twice it came
up down woman man
are the tools to understand

so married life it must not fail
like bread and butter they can go stale
keep things new by seeing two
of my me and your you

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this poem because I love to hate conformity. I used 
the theme of two (did you notice?!!) to show that to the 
side that someone agrees with, there is always at least one
other opposing side waiting to be discovered. I had nothing 
better to do so I started typing, and WHAMMO! I wrote this 
poem. positivity barely ever flows onto the page for me, so 
I decided to send it in -write- away! Keep reading and
writing, and happy poetry. Mike
