Night and Day at once

Actawesome and I met just a couple of hours ago in chat , and frankly , he is my long lost siamese brother. So we tried to do something different.


Cross the seas and time changes,
But souls stay similar
Both breathing at the same time
Clocks ticking and tocking in the same motions,
But reading different numbers
Sun comes up , sun goes down
Tides of time flowing out of sync,
Still, the two don't change.
Fame, fortune and big signs,
Poverty, sorrow and crimes,
Our worlds are not different after all,
The same heart but different skins,
Insomnia is the form of endless suffering,
Nationality does not change facts,
Language , literature and arts
Same heart beats , same souls
Distance does not change love,
Comrads in combat combining,
In endless colors of afixiation
Brothers in arms in the battle of
The neverending sleepless nights
So while technicality tells me I'm a day behind,
Technology allows brief respite in communication to the future
While in reality I am a day ahead
I feel like we write history in the same time
Writing when we should be sleeping,
Talking when we should be dreaming,
For you it may be dawn,
And for me it might be dusk,
The real time is now
And we are a part of it.

I really liked your work... It's interesting and the message is awesome... I especially liked the lines:
"Nationality does not change facts,
Language , literature and arts
Same heart beats , same souls
Distance does not change love,"...
Keep up the good work... :)

I LOVEE the message in this poem :)
It's so true, all of us are still human no matter where we are, (if that's the message in this poem that you two were trying to get across)
I don't usually enjoy poetry but this is great :D

good luck on that contest :D
