Best Contrasting Poems

Life is a but a blur,
Compared to eternity:
Infinite laughter....

Surrounded by four walls.	
I feel disgust and despair.
Why can’t I snap out of it?
For listen: The city hums with listless life.
Hospitals thrive with dying patients,
oft with self inflicted excruciating pains,
more often meted out by egoistic humans
in pursuit of hedonistic pleasures,
of self satisfying needs.
 
In a...

As armies continue to march their sanguinary war
lifeless lay those as sinewy gore,
pinnacled soldiers atop a land possessed
making themselves feel they've been blest
	
Bittersweet is the toil of progress
especially for those unacceptable to less
the muses in choir sing lamentable pleas
for those who have fallen on bended...

I leisurely strolled down our main road,
As the severely hot sun descended
Behind the purple hills and our night
Began to cover all our crowded streets.

Colorful lights flickered every where,
An enticement to lure us to our shops.
Restaurants emitted all types of food,
Chinese, Indian, Italian and others.

But I...

the eagles fight in bright blue sky
tail feathers fly
one eagle falls
the other calls

a warrior not the peaceful dove 
symbol of love 
he would rather
show white feather

the eagles bask in ardent praise
for fighting ways
this should not be
the skies are free

When I awoke this morning
The world had a different feel.
Yesterday was brightness and sunshine,
Today is bereft of that magic appeal.
Everything has a grey quality;
The sky is no longer blue
The world it seems is in mourning for summer
That has taken my heart along with it too.
Tomorrow...

SUCCUBUS

kiss my neck,
bite it through.
watch it bleed my love for you.
suck it up,
lick it clean;
i watch from above,
deeply in dream.
and then i think,
and now i scream!!!!!!

(woke up(thank God!))

Contrasting edges;
Abstract solidarity
we fit together....

Oh, you precious one,
do you know who you're called to be ?
As God looks at you
do you know who it is He sees ?

You have seen yourself
as never quite being enough.
But God sees such wealth,
like a diamond shaped from the rough.

Oh, don't be cast down,
God...

Sensitive souls meet feisty spirits
Fluffiness of fresh fallen snow
Heat of harsh fiery flames

Natural elements of colliding forces
Possibilities of complementaries
Actualisation of a pair too dire

Contrasts complimenting one assumes
Reality melts the other
Hot fire against chilled snow

Disaster overwhelms surrounding viewers 
Liquified tears drown fiery words
A hot puddle is...

In 2018 there were four who exited life's door never to return. There was an additional one whom I feared might also depart, but he recovered from his sickness and now continues his mission. My acquaintance with each of them was for many years a...

“I dream of teaching more students while I continue exploring world throughout my life”, I answered.

"...and what's yours?", i curiously asked.

With dismayed eyes, assimilating all hope from the west, “I dream of not dying before time”, she whispered,

Skeptic juvenile eyes turning bright and optimistic with...

Doomed free in the street,
     citizen, exemplary...

Are we living in a dream world
Contrasting the real world
When we're small 
We started dreaming
A dream world appeared suddenly
In front of the real world
Are we still living there
No,we aren't 
Now even frustrations and mishaps we face
Still
We're full of hopes and expectations
We face,we fight,we wish and...

Black and white
Two bright contrasting colours
Distinguishing 
The rights and the wrongs
The principles and rules
Are too sacred to be outcast
Law breakers tend to 
Ignore it, discard it and overule it
But not in front of humanity
But not in front of democracy
But not in front of the truths
But...
