...and that's how the dueling began!

Presenting for a few posts from now, what I’d like to call a “poetry duel”, a sequel of what might seem to be pro-and-con poetry. It follows from the previous post, titled “Of seemingly long lanes”

In retort…

It's not fair
The way you make your words flare
Sharp sweet serene notes prolific
Bring back memories, few known faces, dreams, hopes, audacity specific

Jupiter, Sun, Sky, Distant Star
Flowing water, Sunflower petals, Bee, The Lonely Traveller
All born from the same explosion, from the same matter
Yet, stand they all alone
Separate ways, separate thoughts, separate tears, separate moan

However, Jupiter needs its moon, no other
Sun needs Earth, Eyes, the Sunflower
And,
The Traveler seeks love.

Love to pain
Pain to tears
Tears to freedom
Freedom to Laughter
Laughter to Friendship
Friendship to Love
Continuity. Immortal.

Weary Eyes of the Traveler shut
The black and blue silhouette in front
Stands amidst the yellow lights
Friend? Love? Insanity? Impulse?
Jupiter, Sun, Sky, Distant Star
Darkness all around, Lonely Hearts.

…Journeying the lone traveler

Words my power
more they come by the hour
Comfort they are,
seem near yet so far
memories in and out
lone yet not once in doubt!
stand alone he may
yet hand in hand walk they...
the jupiter, its moon
the cloud and the monsoon
the being, its silhouette
apart and nowhere they get!

The heart yearns, the eyes shut
broken though the shell and its nut
where's darkness you see
when yellow lights dance around in glee
The blinking lights though distant
reckon it does, its persistent
seems it has a word to say
ask of the wind that crossed its way.
Gentle it blows, it blows hard
spot it but see the sky starred
The stars they call
notice they do, stand up tall!
Gentle luminance they throw
the moon joins company in the glow

Darkness not once they leave
lone traveler not once grieve!
