Clash of Two Worlds by Scarlet Rose
the sun was till groggy behind the clouds
deep in slumber;
the morning dew was still clinging
unto the leaves;
the misty fog was still cozying up
with the mountaintop.
but in the word you opened your eyes to,
the sun already took the center stage
in the vast cerulean sky;
there wasn’t any trace of the clingy
morning dew;
there was never a misty fog and
a mountaintop love affair.
breathing between two worlds
constantly colliding,
you tended to your wings
one wound after another;
you asked the stars what sins
you committed in your past lives
to be deserving of such fate.
Scarlet Rose, a Filipino writer, weaves poetry from the remnants of being a parentified eldest daughter, gradually embracing the quiet, winding, and beautiful journey of starting anew and learning to trust the mysteries of life.
Her first book Search for Oasis I peels the curtain to the behind the scenes of the ‘good child’ and the eventual decision to take a bow and step towards an unfamiliar path.
Her second book Oasis Within continues the journey, entwining anger, resentment, and pain with acceptance and learning to paint an inner landscape.
Through her Instagram @scarletrose.inscribes, she connects with readers who find solace in her words
