You Can And So Can I


You could evoke me
You could provoke me
I am a light
I am a shadow

You could send me
Flowers
You could disregard my
Powers
I am a diamond
I am a demon

You could blame me
You could praise me
I am a sinner
I am winner

You could leave me
All alone
You could be part
Of my home
I am the worst pest
I am the best guest

I invite
You decide
You deny
I survive

Wow! Get out of my head, Dulce, it was like i could have written this myself, in what it says.

I love the entire thing, but especially the second stanza. I also love the contrasting pairs at the ends.

You and Shadow with your cool deviantart, hehe.

D-I sure love a mystery! why do I see you now with a chained watch in hand like pendulum? Devious smile and all. Hmmm.. I like when poetry does that to me. Chameleon you! ~rick

Hey, it's morning! And you are still you. I just KNEW you were a survivor!

And I'm glad. Your pictures are like words, and your words are like music and I love them both!

The last line just grabs me. It's something we would do well to remember in every situation...

Missed both your poem and your comment yesterday.
Like all good poetry today you have written a piece that different people will see different things in.
The poet writes from the heart but the readers sees with different eyes.
I see in this poem the ongoing internal battle between Saint and Sinner.
I mentioned your poetry in my blog yesterday.

I always see you as a winner, Dulce.
Your last lines ...
You deny
I survive
conveys that so well.

Always love your writings!

Thank you so much for your so very beautiful comments, everyone.
Sorry peeps, guys, friends... I am busy working and cannot get so much time to write or / and (especially) leave comments on your blogs. It is getting difficult to find inspiration, but there it is and I'll try and keep writing... If I do not, it's only because of that lack of time.
I so much appreciate your lovely comments and support...
Thank you again and lots of love to my ever so loyal blog friends!
