To have loved or lost

My name is Aleena Romaji and I am a final year dental student. I enjoy writing in my spare time and have gotten prizes for coming first, second for poetry competitions at my University in previous years. This, however is a first, I haven’t entered online before and I hope this will be the first of many entries.

Cognitive Conflict

Bickering in my mind these two 

Was one good and the other not?

–

Stepping stones hazy with contempt

Broken bridging cleverly amend

–

Forfeit, elusive bare to first

Perfumed ploughs curtly immersed

–

Flickering adornment, a right of passage

Cursing gently towards grand perish

–

To have loved or lost, which on verge brought

Hands instinctively to fiery thought.
