Best Contradictions Poems

Two major contradictions in life can bring you to your knees
Like opposing sisters in a family, as one arrives, the other leaves
Comedy and tragedy…

Two mascots, hovering above every life
One brings gifts of joy and laughter; the other brings pain and strife
Comedy and tragedy…

Mirth has a...

Quiet darkest hour, just before dawn
Alive with tree frogs singing, just for fun

Sashaying ways of sexy sways
Silent steps of saddest days

Screeching crow perched in a tree
Cries of eagles flying free

Dark days come, but soon are gone..
in the..
Quiet darkest hour, just before dawn

She's awash in contradictions. 
Though you just might fall in love
with those big doe eyes.  


She'll put you on a pedestal.
To her,  you can do no harm.
 She is a friend to the very end. 

Still, she could bring you to your knees.
She...

Contradicting Me

I'm a man of contradictions
I know just how it seems.
A travesty a tragedy
a man of such extremes.

Each time you pull me closer
you're pushing me away.
I'm silent for awhile
then I've got a lot to say.

I write of peace and happiness
while broken deep within.
I'm leaving for...

I want fame and humility
I want war and I want peace
I want God and I want freedom
I want freedom and enslavment

I want to settle down, and keep moving
I sprint home and crawl to work
I'll eat my fill and then I'll starve
I will kill and I...

Contradictions



Frosted eyes opaqued evanesence,
chilled bone soup luminescent.
Veracose veins, tight muscle tenses,
Awareness alert but unable to sense this.

Medical liquor uncured infection,
categorically diseased without no protection.
Split highway, wrong chose direction, 
a blue suit ordered ludicrous inspection.

Decision based morality by some Politician,
static cling energized body friction.
Paranoid thinking thoughts...

just when she proudly posed as a puffing magic dragonette 

the bubble burst and a shiny sword punctured vulnerable skin

pierced the façade and made her reveal true person and posture

	I can’t hold this together without compromise

a circle to be squared with fumes of empty promise...

Why,through observation
opt 4 contradiction
make risky decisions
4 just a moment of satisfaction
leading 2 self-destruction.
change your life's perception,
build your own isolation.
Make u nurse your own hurt emotions,
due 2 misleading high expectations.

Make u demand 4 obvious explanation
of the world's imperfection.
Hinder u from discovering your highest potential,
due to your...

Trying to purchase the trust of a Taoist judge
or the wisdom of a sagacious teacher
is like trying to buy love from a healthy nutritionist,
s/he may be for rent to the highest bidder
at a sliding-fee designed to remain mutually unaffordable,
but most holistically
(and often huffily)
not for sale....

The things we see can be seen one of two ways
Either full of color or just straight black and white
The coexistence of natural dark and our light
But we choose to see what we think is right
Whether it’s believing that love is true
Or saying it’s something...

I want to be grown up and a little girl,
I want to stay home, safe, and travel the world,
I want to look like nothing and be everything.
I want to be alone and I want to see my friends,
I wish this never started and I wish...

Swirls of shadowed light rest in minds filled with wakeful anxiety, while the burning ice warms their souls with its chills

Falling in tandem with the rising waves cresting against sandless beaches, reaching for pieces broken by gentle hands banded in the company of destruction

Seduction of...

Dedicated to the most wonderful man for being part of my life

You came into my life unexpectedly,
And became the difference between today
And what used to be
With your gentle touch
You struck me like lightning,
And kindled a fire
That burnt through my whole being
With your soft-spoken words,
You yelled...

I never understood people who claim that,
they “believe in God”, but not in his creations…
Angels, demons, spirits or that all animals have souls.

Why many who believe in the “Holy Spirit”,
deny the existence of “spirits” seen by others; the human soul, itself.

Why those who claim that...

Honestly.  What's the best policy?  Honesty?
Don't loose lips sink ships?  You follow me?  
"Keep your circle small."
"Keep your enemies close."
How much is enough, then, to have them by the ropes?  
"Knowledge is power."
"Ignorance is bliss."
How does one choose between THAT...
