»Minus-Minus, Plus-Plus«

by Ryan Gordon Penn

In the absence of light, why should there be dark
If you're not with me, it doesn't mean I'm alone
While the fire burns within, without it remains cold
A series of events, join the dots, destiny
Pity the ones that do not know why, how or when
Simply put it cannot be right, but it is
Minus Pain Minus Thought
Plus Love Plus Care
Powerful beyond
Just merely
Being
here
For
it

  •  Esther Odendaal: "Awesome! Love this! It's clever, it's real - and reminds me that life is all about 'being here for it'!"
  •  Christopher Kudyahakudadirwe: "Your poem is one of a few that are picturesque. The fact that it tapers as you get to the end of it suggests the fact that in the world or in our lives there is no negative wihtout a positive. As it tapers out the more poignant it becomes in its meaning. I love it man! Keep on pushing the pen, Bravo!"
