  1. “Perhaps hate is only love having lost it’s way” What an evocative way to express the contrasts. I hope that you are right, and love finds its tao again.
    Incredibly deep and moving.

  3. Old Egg says:

    I wish that it was that simple. I think instead of skipping over water like love, hate wades through mud instead! You are too generous in your appraisal Sanaa but loved the picture your words painted.

  11. Freya says:

    They do say that love and hate are two sides of the same coin. I love the hopefulness of this piece.

  12. Hate and love are so close together in their intensity that sometimes, we do, indeed, have to ask if “perhaps”… I love that she doesn’t have to wonder and warder alone, the earth is with her. ❤

  13. kaykuala h says:

    Hate is only love
    having lost its way

    Very true, Sanaa! Hate once unleashed may be difficult to control as it will trigger off lots of reactions.

  15. totomai says:

    Perhaps, Sanaa. Perhaps. The entirety is showing hate’s another side.

    That is my favorite Michael Jackson song by the way.

    As for the animation, I am not sure if it is from the movie, 5 cm/s 🙂

  17. Bjorn says:

    Perhaps hate and love is what makes passion… Yes you are so right about hate, are we ready to quench hatred for the price of losing love?

    Oh yes, agreed. Hate definitely is love having lost its way….sadly & tragically!

  19. Sherry Marr says:

    I love the gentle premise of this poem, for, in the end, I do believe hate is love that has lost its way. You are very wise.

  20. Julian says:

    Hello Sanaa. Lovely, such an emotive piece of writing. Love and hate, can not have one without the other, surely that’s natures balance.

    Imagine if love was expressed with the same passion as hate. I like your premise that hate may be love gone awry. I hope this world finds the love it needs. Good write Sanaa.
