"Heaven and Hell"

Poem By: Azmat Shah
Poetry


This is my take on Love. A short poem which emphasizes the dual nature of this very mercurial emotion. View table of contents...

The great poets say that love is pure,

It is salvation, it is a cure,

From angels wings it is concieved,

From destitution it is reprieve.

It is like two roads with a common start,

But the routes they follow are far apart,

One leads to heaven the other hell,

where i will end up i canot tell.

this is a beauty. i read it at one go 'coz it has easy flow. the comparison of love with 2 roads is unusual. but it leads to a good conclusion. ;-)

Thankyou Bubbly.
All kinds of analogies have been used concerning love, i just wanted mine to be orignal. And you have to admit love does seem like both heaven and hell rolled into the same package. Kinda like two sides of the same coin.

Ouch.
Drastic analogy!
if I go to heaven, you'll go to hell.
eeek!

Thankyou once again, i really appreciate ur comments.

Wow, nice to see some good old-fashioned poetry here! You have managed to convey a lot in just a few lines. I like the sudden, dramatic twist in the tone of the poem in the second stanza. I think you need to add a 'to' between 'other' and 'hell' - you know - 'one leads to heaven, the other to hell'. Good job. Will be reading more of your works soon.

Thankyou for ur kind comments. I'll keep ur suggestion in mind, and i eagerly await any further comments from you concerning my work.

Poor guy, you can know where you will end up. Good poem. It causes one to think of eternity, but you can know. I would love to show you.

I can show you through the scriptures how you can go to heaven, Azmat.
