This is what you are!

You are my joy
You are my sorrow

You are my strength
You are my weakness

You are my smile
You are my tears

You are my thoughts
You are my calmness

You are my success
You are my failure

You are my nectar
You are my poison

You are my breeze
You are my storm

You are my love
You are my loss.

The train of opposites can be related to anything or anybody dear to us. That's the beauty of this poem.

There comes in the last two lines very aptly - love & loss. The irony is, love and loss constitute/summarize all the lines mentioned before.

Well done.

It is very good poem Latha. Actually the meanings for two different words in your poem are not opposite, they are the same because it is Love!

Thank you Latha.
