Best Opposing Poems

 So many words
lost in my soul.
Yearning to bleed,
but the ink is shy.

It does not want
to make you cry.

No more words,
as soul is found.
No temptations
when ink is brave.

All it wants is
to make you smile....

If I last another day longer than you, you WILL be in my memories. If not, perhaps I'll be in yours.  Blessings all.

As the mornings sun - begins to shine 
And memories of yesterday - I leave behind 
I get to see - another...

First six lines of my triolet entitled “Wrapped in White” followed by my contrasting six lines which I’ll entitle “Crestfallen in Snow”

I long to tread upon the snow
in hush of winter, wrapped in white;
in feathered mounds serenely go.
I long to tread upon the snow.
The boughs...

The first stanza is from my poem- Almost Xanadu

 I see everything clothed in glistening sheen.
 Around me, all I see is beauty and grandeur.
 Heaven seems to have come down to earth.
The sky and the Earth, draped in great splendor. 
Anyone who lands in...

POETRY DOESN'T ALWAYS COME TO ME TIPTOEING IN A VEIL OF IMAGINATION OR RAGING LIKE A TURBULENT STORM
IT DOES EMERGE WHEN WAKING UP, I GAZE AT THE ENCHANTING VERMILLION SKY AT DAWN, MAJESTIC SUN RISING IN THE HORIZON. 
IT DOES WHEN GORGEOUS SUNFLOWERS IN MY GARDEN...

Awful rumors arose on a rainy day at twilight.
Dwelling in darkness, guilty of stealing light.
Drops in rhyme,...

I strongly believe that the wheels of fate
Are not controlled by some empty chance,
For if they were, I would not have found
Your life-turning love and gripping romance.

I believe there’s some unseen benign hand
That spins the direction and the strides of men
Toward the compass of their...

The power of truth be
With he who insists
That God, unlike man
Has omnipotent hands
And persists
And persists
And persists

The burden of lies be
WIth he who insists
The product of man
Has a divine plan
And exists
And exists
And exists

Right now if I am to be truly single, then I want to unwind and remove all I have 
 believed and subscribed to.
If I am to muddle through life alone, then I want to relieve myself of the dreams held
 dear in the depths...

Elements of light
elements of dark
walking magnets
attracting like sparks

Your true nature
your true fire
what do you attract
what do you inspire........

      I’ll meet you halfway 
      set fire to both ends 
        Kiss you in stasis 
      as our world upends

I can’t stand to sit…

Waiting to be included
In your anecdotes, 
The missing piece,

Yet, I love to hate…

My absent reverie,
Lost somewhere
Between oceans and mountains.

Feeling like I’m right of left…

A discombobulated mess,
Issuing faint poetry
For the sake of communion.

My heart is back to front…

Of the distance,
Smashing head-long 
Into...

Driven deluge in wild squalls
As torrents pelt the thirsty ground
Sheer rain staccatos...

An ultimate showdown of courage
When opposing forces have to meet
Unlike gunfights in an old western town
There's no standing in a hot dusty street

Not wanted but desperately needed
Closed doors keep this challenge discreet
Bravery is buried beneath a frown
as I sit down on this cold toilet seat!...

Brilliant and dull,
Losing and winning,
Seeking and finding –
Among the dreams, a feeling…
She risks her heart,
And, finds her hope.
She rises in the morning,
To erase the darkest fears.
She wonders through shadows,
To abide beneath the light of love.
She kisses away the past,
With laughter because she’s gone.

Beautiful and hideous,
Winter...
