Poem: A Symphony Of Contradiction

When life becomes a tapestry of impossibilities, you are left singing the symphony of contradictions.

Your almond slits,
A symphony of vivid imagery

My splintered heart,
A symphony of tragedy

Your carefree smiles,
A symphony of sonatas

My brooding glare,
A symphony of caveats

Your bouncing mane,
A symphony of concealed arcane

My greedy eyes,
A symphony of soaking slits

Your empathetic caresses,
A symphony of amiable traits

My broken voice,
A symphony of betrayals

Your golden hue,
A symphony of angelic peculiarities

My shivering fingers,
A symphony of broken tapestry

Your enlivening emotions,
A symphony of viability

My blurred vision,
A symphony of impossibility…

Last week, when I was working on my novel and was lost in an alternate universe, I composed this poem. It is a vivid demonstration of the impossibility of life, felt from the narrative of the characters who are forced to endure heartache in the name of survival.

It might be just a few verses but these lines are much more than a poem, as it is with each one of my poems I have listed here.

Did these couplets resonate with you, too?

Please let me know!
