Without You

Loneliness,
consumes my soul.
Emptiness & darkness,
consume the carcass.
Not even,
a hollow shell,
remains.
Without You.
Without Your Love,
in my Life.

With You


Overabundance,
floods my soul!
Wholeness & Light,
overwhelm my being!
Lavish Life,
Love overflows,
blissful!
With You!
With Your Love,
in my Life!

Two separate Poems, but a single message, Yin/Yang, one incomplete, without the other...

I felt in writing these that it was important to "combine" their posting, as they share the same page in my Journal as well. They are not only a contrast, but a pair that were (at the same time) inspired by more than one source!
Have you felt this way before? Do you feel it could be said more clearly? Would you shorten/lengthen it/them? What do you think of listing the two together, as opposed to individually? Is there too much / not enough imagery?

Well, I agree on putting the two pieces together... however, the line in which you put the date and your name really seems to break the feeling you get after the first poem. I would consider taking that away...
And, putting the titles in bold or italic font would help understanding that you're passing on to a different part of the poem itself.

As for the imagery, I don't think there is a lot of it, but the little that I see it's effective. :)
