Best Ambivalent Poems


Ambivalent
I’m both painfully shy, and brazenly bold.
The push & pull of opposing natures
that form my existence.

Living my life between the lines
Cold and factual yet scattered and emotion charged,
Faltering, yet ever steady;
loyal even when in full run.

Shuttering with precision,
accurately ambiguous,
softly roaring.

A cynical romantic,
a speechless poet,
practicing an...

Bane of My Ambivalent Star
I have abandoned all my ships,
Just because I see stars.
That is when you caught my glimpse.
But I should recall
That since everything eventually dies,
Now, you are just a supernova's ashes.

(The strained stars
Are through the pain lane;
Slain in vain with seraphic darkness and darkened brightness...)

So, bring me...

uncertain or unable
that sums it all up...

Ambivalent Heart
Funny how a fickle heart works:   
always pining for what was then 
and loving to hate this moment,   
oft returning to way back when.

Regretful of all that are gone,  
dismissive of the present day,
it cannot wait to get past now
rushing...

Premium Member Ambivalent Autumn
Audacious Autumn rushes in,
Making her way on Summer's heels.
Bringing along big pots of paints,
Instantly Summer's thunder steals.
Vivid hues and ripening fruits,
Are some of the gifts she brings to all.
Lavishly bestowing them on
Each of us as we worship Fall.
Nodding with glee, she mixes  blends,
Turning the...

Ambivalent Existence
I have lived as a shadow;
Destined for political battle. 
I have lived as a shadow;
Searching unto death for identity.
I have lived in a cave.
I am more than an ex-slave. 
I am spirit; I am a divine entity. 
I have lived as a shadow:
Battered, bruised and...

Available options stand the bile as they make the will bent
Massachusetts may be best for the holiday to be spent
But the rod of its weather may hit the comfort of its rent
Indecision, glorified from knowledge’s available dent
Vague is their understanding to a result from what...

Ambivalent
AMBIVALENT
The swallowing of a morsel can't be justified
If the stomach still hurts.
Scorpion– the shining demon,
who doesn't stop until it’s quashed
applauds as it was filled with goosebumps.

A dog with two tails–yet barks,
and they say the future of the unknown 
Is seen by Accompaniment of tears with...

Ambivalent Nature
It's been a long time
Not going up and down the mountain
I love the exercise of walking
I miss the view of the mountain
Everything is starting to turn green
Grass and trees, roadside flowers blooming
The rice plants are turning gold
A month or so ready for a harvest
I want...

Butterfly feelings gently loosened
Floating amongst easy thoughts
Coaxing ambivalent dreams
A joyously relaxing nap
Following too much pumpkin pie...

Ambivalent State of Mind
In my lonely times,
I feel crowded the most.
In my sad times,
I feel happiest the most.

In my crying times,
I feel playful the most.
In my hurting times,
I feel healed the most.

In my stormy times,
I feel calm the most.
In my chaotic times,
I feel peaceful the most.

In my happy...

Premium Member imitating life
much of what's behind
lies buried within the mind
revised or maligned

boiling down this life
using memory as knife
won't halt inner strife

trying to avoid
staring straight into the void
ego was destroyed

filling empty lines
outside truth's murky confines
too soon undermines

join the collective
following each directive
brought lost perspective

nature will arrange
the many phases of...
