MabusTheDark Original Poetry Button by MabusTheDark




One often sees love and hatred as opposite forces; I daresay that is not entirely the case.

They are like different dances, you see; In one way they're different, but in another they share.

Both require immense passion and emotion; Neither lack their vices, visible upon each face.

Whichever you need, pick one carefully; Blending the two brothers is only if you truly dare.



Hatred is seen as bad, but oftentimes, it has a good reason; Mindless hate is hated by all.

Self-hatred is sadly prevalent; There may have a reason, but it is hidden by misunderstanding.

Hatred can, in fact, produce beauty; Dark poetry can paint gorgeous imagery of a dreadful fall.

It takes a master to do that; Most just scorn hatred, for it doesn't do what they're demanding.



Love is often seen as sacred and pure; However, it can be twisted, much like hatred can be.

This sweet gift can be denied; More people than I'd like to recount have gone mad over this.

Through madness, one can oftentimes do the unthinkable; You'd be surprised what someone would do.

Sell out a friend, or maybe lie to another; Many would do more for the chance to receive a kiss.



The wiles of emotion can lead the heart stray; One must be guarded, in order to keep them away.

A stout and noble heart can stay free of too much hate, and too much love; Too much is quite bad.

Balance is key to many things, including this; The wicked try their best, but just keep them at bay.

If you strike that perfect step in your dance, your life will almost assuredly be forever glad.



Ah yes, this came up in a bit of a virtuoso moment, I guess.

There are many gray areas in life; Love and Hatred are not always good and evil, respectively.

Comments are preferred to favorites... but I'll take either, I guess.
