Best Duality Poems


Premium Member The Poet and the Jester (On Embracing Duality)
It is the conversation
between the poet and the jester.
The poet- with solemn introspection;
the jester- with careless regard,
each captivating the other.

It is the ultimate irony
of this unlikely coupling,
entwining their words,
combining truth and mischief,
sabotaging established decorum.

Neither threatened nor contrite,
nor challenging the others' wisdom,
but with enthusiastic fornication
and eager...

The Duality of Man
The duality of man, oh what a sight

A puzzle so complex, so full of might

On one hand, we are strong and brave

On the other, we are weak and craven

We can love with all our heart

But also with hate we can start

A fire within that never...

Premium Member The Faces of Duality
The faces of Duality 

What a strange and mysterious creature.
The two, distorted faces of human nature.

Are they given birth, deep within the subconscious ?
Or are they a deliberate creation of the conscious ?

What is there in one’s personality ?
That makes their duality, their reality !

For...

Duality of Man
The duality of a man? 

the inner beast of the outer man,
aeons ago were quite unplanned,
the spirit surfer entered a beast,
took control and enjoyed the feast,
when it killed some  beast of prey,
many friends of the surfer type,
enraptured with their planet flights ,
by thought they...

That Duality Thing
One is aware while one is asleep,
One is a ruler another a sheep.
One is so ruthless while one is so kind,
One is all-seeing while another is blind.
One is a guru while another a clown,
One wears a smile another a frown.
One experiences paradise while one lives...

Sonnet Dialogue: Scorn In Duality, Lit Op 5
I
I  looked below and saw the dawn from here,
Disturbing may, below the light- a man.

II
“Oh, stranger most, shall I ask you with fear?”

III
“Dear one, you fear no one”, replied the man,
“Nor Him, you fear Him not for you are but
The holder of the strings...

Non-Duality
With respect to digestion, we talk of two fates
The absorptive and post absorptive states.

Think of a meal as earning a wage.
You may use a bit but you’ll save some, if sage.
And the ratio is something you always must gauge.
It can certainly change as one does...

The Duality of Man 2
The Duality of man 2…
Picture the beast getting its own way,
When weak of “spirit” steps aside,
Animal lust comes out to play,
Control your body, have some pride,
Yes it is a Monkey body,
Rhesus monkey blood, have I,
Give in to its wants and needs?
Go to jail sometimes to...

Incomprehensible Duality
It seems that man can never comprehend
The carnal thrust of lust we all must trust;
As human minds design no plan to end
Carnality 'till man converts to dust. 

When facets of our lives are added new, 
Atop existing layers of the truth, 
Environments of learning do...

Shining, vibrating, warming
Giving light daily, appearing at night
Overpowering, fascinating, elating
Mysterious, enigmatic

into the depths of the bell jar

In quiet solitude
    on an autumn night
    i drifted through
    a quotidian quagmire.

fleeting thoughts of stillness
    sparked a quest
    for transcendence

Premium Member Hourglass of Primal Wolf Skulls
Why does he provoke me to anger?

He stalks among us -  with his song -
a wolf's grin

His inimicality beckons 
like a hawk's talons,
luring prey to certain death

Yet he imparts wisdom 
to those who bleed

Beware!

his insights twist 
like a pit of pepper x vipers;
devouring souls...
