Two Halves
Inspired by Nazrul's Adho Dhoroni Alo
Half the world is dark
And half is steeped in day -
The dawn of life sweeps
Shadows of dusk away.
Half of us rejoice
Another half do cry -
We pass from mood to
Mood with one gentle sigh.
Half of love is sweet
And half of bitter kind -
Love and angst will hence
Play checkers in the mind.
If all is ruled by
Two Halves in constant strife,
What, I wonder, is
The other half of life?

Good one...though what's the answer?
What, I wonder, is
The other half of life?
Death seems to be the obvious answer, but I was wondering have you ever thought of Dreams as being opposed to Life?

i loved that question!
Brilliant as usual.
I guess we all live through quite a few of the halves the life is divided in -coz it can be divided on many planes-but still keep asking this question.... though the words are different each time

i especially liked the last 2 verses of this poem. your take is about everything in life being in black and white, but life is often a plethora of shades between the black and the white! and there is one mood apart from happiness and grief - drowsiness :D i aint happy, and i aint sad! its just that rains are doing funny things to my brain and inducing drowsiness :)
and yes, before i forget, your bro guided me to your blog :)
Inspiring!
this is so beautifully written...i think youre going to make it as an accomplished writer one day.
