PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Like Janus, I have two faces

One looking forward

Sees colour

The beauty of the world

The forward face is determined

Aesthetic,

Is gentle, rapturous, artistic

It is jubilant, stunning

The other looking backwards

Stares at shades of grey

Discontent, unhappy

It sees nothing but

Mayhem, misery

Hears monotonous overtures

Of politicians and chaos

It witnesses death

Brutal and cold

I cannot balance the two faces

I want to look forward

But cannot help

Look behind

The torment

is too

painful to bear

For an eternity
