you are the north to my south
the anode to my cathode
a valley to my mountain
night to my day
the cat to my dog
some say opposites attract
we sure don’t!
Simplicity
quiet, yielded
resting, trusting, opening
heart, breath — burden, labyrinth
tangling, questioning, striving
restless, shadowed
Complexity
The world often wonders—how can two different personalities match up?
Wouldn't their differences create a barrier & let their happy lives shatter?
Well, it's the nature of our universe,
Where contrasts always attract,
Connecting two souls together—it's a cosmic truth, undeniable and exact.
Sadly, like ones always repel,
Drifting apart, and at one point, they start to rebel.
To be honest, that does make sense.
We experience both grief and happiness,
Yet together, they complete the beauty of life.
She loves summer & I admire winters,
Which lets us explore the world through changing seasons and skies.
She's hot, and I'm chill—
Just like the Sun and Moon, uplifting each other's beauty in the sky,
A perfect blend of romance & thrill.
With time, opposites start to feel complementary.
Things that once seemed like antonyms now feel like synonyms,
And that’s the ethereal glow of life & time.
You are one adorable chick.
I could show you a good time.
Do you come here often?

Tall slim ladies are specs most men attract
Claimed to look down people, heights subtract-
Appealing breast and buttocks
Hands hold not; mouth barely sucks
Without stress-- love and ego interact...
What are goofy things
Being awkward,
telling dumb jokes and stories,
or wearing crazy clothes
are all great ways to be goofy.
Why are my stories so bad
I never thought them goofy
The lady say's I'm a jerk.
I never thought I was being useless
She said I had a silly grin.
I thought I was smiling.
I admit to loving you
You are ashamed of me
aren't you?
A goofy smile is sweet
unless you don't wanna be sweet.
Why am I sweet anyway
or are you just mean and sour
and repel great looking men
Huh? Come on tell me.
Please tell me why you know
so much?
Tell me why you're so special.
I'm proud and debineer
cool and sophisticated
I got that rizz about me
I got that rizz about me
i really;really do
an alarming rhizz go tell your friends
tell them I'm that great and entertaining
Goofy, nah I'm Rizomatic
This word was created today
the word was brand new.
If birds of a feather flock together
altho' it's a fact
how do opposites
like you and I attract?
North and south two similar poles
on opposing sides of the street
repel and push each other away
and so the twain shall never meet.
If there's a magnetic attraction
between you and me
then opposite poles be we
and as I recall you're not repellent at all
in truth quite the magnetic personality.
They say They say opposites attract,
I suppose they were right to think that especially for us.
For i was naive
and you wanted to deceive
I was as pure as the driven snow
And you were dark like the concept of a Jane Doe.
Opposites attract.
You secretly wanted to attack,
I just wanted you to love me back.
You made me think lust was love all because you were under an act. Opposites attract.
I wanted you on your worst days,
you wanted me at your place for the worst ways.
Opposites attract.
I guess that’s why we aren’t attracted to each other anymore. Because when I look at my actions towards others i see yours and you made me like that.
Every time I come closer
Away farther it gets
Without understanding
Whispered by a seeker
The More calm
The more insights attained
Insight gateway for success
Successful light worker
Illuminating the dark
Wisdom must be applied
Timid is the mind
Those addicts of pleasures
Relying on uncertainty
Can't find way to navigate
Through life
Find someone to blame

It's said that opposites attract.
Recall how the north pole on one magnet
draws into the south pole of another,
and binds strongly together,
due to the strong attraction force between them.
When the opposite poles apart, get close together,
their fields interact, mutually strengthening
and drawing the other in to bind.
The alignment builds a strong force of attraction and a strong bond.
It's said that opposite types of people attract for many similar reasons.
Excitement of the new and novelty.
Ability to learn from each other.
It's a way to build balance,
filling the gaps in each other's own personality.
There's mutual fascination with the fundamental differences.
But, the face of love is another matter entirely.
For when looking for someone
to love among the sea of faces,
we can't get the image
of ourselves in the mirror
out of our heads.
The face of love is our own.
We complete each other's lines.
Couples are often twin lookalikes.
Let's face it!
paintings are abstract
brilliant and always attract enigma
a landscape enact
while at cinema
we had smelled hard enigma
will need enema
after we reviewed
agreement must be renewed
or problems be ensued
The Mockingbird sings out his misleading best,
in hopes to attract a dupe with a nest,
where the squatter believes mate’s eggs should belong;
so mimics and jabbers uncountable songs.
Catbirds and Thrashers, related critters,
both grey North Americans sport throats of a twitter.
These gifted Warblers mock tricky bird tunes,
deceiving, deluding as feathered dragoons.
In fairness to balance the Tweeters’ intent,
creating, demanding a need to invent
a song to attract a new or lost mate:
so, a beacon to follow and commitment to state.
EXAMPLE MOCK SONGS
whistling, hey-hey yip pittie-yap
frog gurgle, snarf-chickie claw-saw
peep peeping piccolo-staccato bleat
sniftering chit-chat, yodel-do do
snerling, rat trap, blah tat-tat-tat
crunchy nasal chirp, coo-coo-coo
like flapping pigeons
gladiate for staling bread
on rented lawn
wish i could feel it
wanna go to hell with me
bought a circular fan
to cool the room
now i have a 3 pawed cat
a dog with half a tongue
and a busted fan
your smile shows your allegiance
parapegically unhuman
doom is coming too soon
kissing the moon au revoir
eating the cow with the spoon
even unarmed we are
the species that used its hands to kill
and gave it free will
Where am i
Just still
so more morons
been we could
A deluge of love draws out a wry smile
As she walks by
In a world
Of her
Own,
Yet
Takes in
The moment
Of his embrace
Without contact just a wink from his eye
Cheeky bugger she thinks but oh so nice
Turning her head
As she stops
To say
Hi,
He’s
Gob smacked
Her perfume
Drifts on the wind
They move in and touch director says cut.

The earth is steady, with a north and south pole
with positives and negatives, for life on earth
This is a cycle, that works very well
interfere with its structure, and it will turn to disaster
The creatures in nature, have a vital role
with predators and prey, to keep living, day by day
This is a routine, that lets them excel
interfere with their pasture, and we all go down faster
