"When you find a diamond, try to break it." ~ Prince


The moon has set, the stars emit no light,
The night is dark and will never die,
The sun around this world will never rise,
The words of others to me will never lie…
This pen will never deny my solemn words -
This sheet will always keep my words aflame,
Unlike those who destroy what’s created by birds,
And which claw within a mind ever could be tame…
Let honey be sweet - and lemon be sour,
Let night be dark as coal, and day as snow,
Let the season, year, and month count every hour,
Though the moon without a sun, what can it show?...
The moon is powerless and can never boast,
The honey pours slowly yet has its maker,
The flower lives days few out of most,
Is it much a giver as that whom is a taker?...
Let love be sweet, yet still be bitter,
Let love rebuild, yet still destroy inside,
Let a flower bloom, and its time to wither,
Let love be born, yet always die through time…
Let a soldier fight, whether for himself or others,
Let a pencil write, whether of an angel or demon,
Tho’ what good can night, bring forth with no lover,
It lives the lives of many unfortunate men.


The author's comments:
While we complain of what is weak, we are blind to see what we are strong in. What is is, and no one can change that. The way something is - whether sweet or sour - should remain sweet and sour. Though I speak of what is natural.

Thank you Universe! I did not really focus on that haha. It was written out of emotion... so it almost wrote itself. :) Thank you again!

Exercise to stimulate, not to annihilate. The world wasn't formed in a day, and neither were we. Set small goals and build upon them.

This is one of the best poems I've read!  The rhythm goes off and then comes back.  That's unique, because not too many people do it this well keep up the great great writing!!!!
