Click hereLove and hate
You who are so innocent
You who are so pure
Show me your heart
Give me your heart
As I have given you mine
You are filled with your own
Self righteous sense of self
Your hypocritical ways
Your cruel and kind nature
Let me hurt you
You who are so glorious
Knowledge of your own charm and wit
A mirror, you own
And self possession
Amongst your fortunes
You that wreak havoc on my emotions
And claim that you didn’t
Naïve, ignorant yet so
Calculating…manipulative
Machiavellian may I call you?
You whom I love for no
Apparent reason
Tell me why it is
That I can do so
And hate you so much as well?

I tend not to like stuff that is more abstract when it doesn't have a lot of specific detail (and I do this all the time in my own writing, lol), but the balance of this poem--stanza to stanza, really carries it. There is a traditional form (with a weird long name parallismus something) where each line of the poem contradicts the preceding one. Your poem sort of reminds me of it--the way it moves back and forth between the emotions. Really well done!
i really liked all your 3 poems and ur stories as well. u know u should consider publishing, i mean that u should become a full time writer because ur style of writting is really refreshing. have u ever thought of writting for mills n boons? i know they can be craps at time but there r some good authors. go on their website, they r often in search for new authors and believe me u `ve got what it`s take. i too write poem but mine r mostly about bitterness of living, i would so like to be able to write such beautiful poems like yours. i have published poems on the island where i lived, but i write in french, and i write short stories called nouvelle in french, anyway i know what i am talking when i`m telling u , u should try writing so go for it!atta girl!
