Double-Edged
by The Dark Poetress, S. Andromeda


My emotions are like
Glinting sunlight
Off the edge
Of a knife blade
Alluring and dangerous
At the same time

What is serene
And calm one minute
Can splash out
With steely force
And determination

Pleasure
And
Pain
Are two sides
Of my double-edged blade

Desire pushes you to it
Rapture loves the edge
It is a thin line to walk
In the field
Of my cutting emotions

Desire
And
Despair
Are two sides
Of my double-edged blade

Ecstasy
And
Depression
Are two sides
Of my double-edged blade

Would you venture to guess
Which way it will cut?
