Best Extremes Poems

In the nighttime hours
As the world deftly creeps by
I summon my powers
Spread my wings and fly
Past cotton clouds,
Snow-capped mountains, white
I am lost and I am found
I am beauty and blight

Past the midnight chimes
A soul searching for home
Tangling myself in rhymes
So as to not feel alone
Catch...

The truth of reality haunts my soul,
lamenting the innocence childhood stole.
A heart that's never experienced love;
always feels empty, never wholly whole.

I found no love on the wings of a dove;
push inevitably turned into shove.
And yet, normality included hope,
and my willingness to partake thereof.

Faced with the...

'Tween genius and insanity
    there may exist the faintest line.
Each one with other- may cross paths-
    their undercurrents, intertwine.
  
Reflect, what is insanity-
    but thinking on conflicting planes; 
perhaps a mind, set wild and free

Love
ecstatic, enthusiastic
blazing, burning, exulting
winks, smiles, rejection, dislike
Numbing, frustrating, misleading 
Passiveness, Indifference
Apathy

Cafeteria
Loud, boisterous
Sweet-smelling, bread-making, cake-baking,
Happy, well-fed, starving, hopeless
Maddening, Saddening, Un-gladdening
Quiet, Angry

(this is supposed to be syllabic verse, but there's not any selection for the form)

I teeter at this moment
between wanting to touch you
and just walking past by you
not looking back, forget you.

A blanket of cloud hovers
even the sky now teeters
between spreading light to all
or shrouding...

Yes, I talk to my cat...
it’s good therapy and 
soothes her wandering...claws.
Over the years I’ve exercised
my imagination on her neurons.

I’ve told here things you 
would not believe, 
it’s for a good laugh.

She’s fascinated whenever 
the furnace comes on and goes off;
I tell her, “It’s okay,...

Opposition is the essence of extremes

Love, Hate

Without one the other loses meaning.

But Extremes defy boundaries

Pleasure, Pain

Where does one stop and the other begin?

Relativity loses its fragile meaning without extremes.

Life, Death.

Dieing young, Living Beyond your time.

Extremes lead each to the other without attracting each other
 
Creation,...

Knowledge, freedom, acceptance
Ignorance, subjugation, resistance
The extremes of our existence

Caring, loving, devotion
Insensitivity, hate, revulsion
The extremes of our emotion

Faith, repentance, salvation
Disbelief, narcissism, damnation
The extremes of our creation

‘GREEN AND JADED EXTREMES’

Sea green waves- the perfect backdrop to escape routine
 Lime infused cocktails and a favourite magazine
Avocado cuisine supplies healthier options to keep bodies lean
The emerald ring wraps another chapter of lovers unseen

Weary and jaded a dwindling sunset has faded
Vanishing unaided so clichéd...

Between two extremes
I stand
Wandering through themes
Of sand

A little piece of
Paper
Have caused my world to
Waver

Nomad hearts have crawled 
Before 
The hoary headed bard 
Told the lore

It isn’t about time
No more
That waves so sublime 
Come ashore 

Amidst a world of crime
And deceit 
My own self I can...

She asks me to rate my pain on a,
He asks how much I love him on a,
Now please rate your professor on a,
What would you say your mood is on a
One to ten scale, one being the worst.
Everything, at it's best, gets a nine.
I want...

I operate in abundance of extremes,
Flirtish to skittish; kind-hearted to mean
I am a tolerant bigot or a emotional stoic
Yet everyone around me don’t even know it

The tug-o-war of conflicting interests 
Both teams in an endless contest
To control my fast twitch reflex
Of my best defence; verbal...

The carpet has two sides
The upper surface with patterns
The underside plain
It describes two worlds
The rich and the poor 
The dignity and the informality
The solemn and the ordinary
The authority and the civilian
The high reputation and the low reputation
The publicity and no visibility
The difference makes the two...
