Two faces come together.

Rubiyat Poem
Two faces come together.
 
 
Two faces come together, within my mind to see –
which direction we should take, but neither can agree.
One will say, “Love this one - with all your heart's content.”
And the other shouts, “keep out! Hear you, only me!
 
 
The fighting roars within my heart, without relentlessness –
as I am torn apart inside, as these two distress -
over fate, I must endure, is now my own torment.
Yet all my dreams, awaiting birth, are dreams of love’s caress.
 
 
One will have me beckon, to every gentle call –
while the other describes a life of hate, hatred for them all.
No common ground be founded - or agreements ever told.
And the battle rages on, my soul within this brawl.
 
 
The screams abound around me; it’s all I’ve ever known –
the anguish and the misery, as they struggle for my own.
Will they ever let me go? Let go of all your hold!
As I know their company, will keep me all alone.
 
 
And though I should not enter; and I know I shouldn’t go –
my fears will only leave me here, to a loneliness bestowed.
So I surrender to a deafness, and blind myself to thought,
If I listen any longer, her love I’ll never know.
