Best Opposites Attract Poems

You have elegance
Poise and grace
A certain sophistication
And what was once called “it”
You have beauty
And sex appeal
You know what you’ve got
And how to use it 
You have style
And fashion sense
You know what goes
And what does not
So answer me this
Why do you choose?
As your date
A tattooed Neanderthal...

I love books that have no end,
truth that is hard to bend,
letters I forgot to send,
and reading them again,

unmade beds that invite,
stories I need to write,
eating ice cream with contrite,
knowing wrong is sometimes right,

I love grass that needs mowed,
a garden that feeds my soul,
boots that kick my toes,
boats I never row,

bridges that go nowhere,
the triple...

When one excites
 the other calms.
When one is worried
  the other soothes.
When one is rough
  the other smooths.

We go together
  like sweet and sour.
We're the same
  yet different too.
We can't fit in
  the same shoes.

But we like the sky
  and the stars above.
And we both like
  being in...

How might our feeling-language
play its stretching role
toward imagining ourselves and others
differently than we believe we,
and they,
truly are
on our best
and worst day?

Can you find a difference between dark problems, as issues,
and lighter opportunities, as possible resolutions,
in how they feel deeply heavy v. widely bright,
but this difference is not that of opposites within themselves,
so much as dialectical...

Full of hot air
Cool to the touch
Want to jump up and scream
Why don't you use silence as the golden rule
and sit down
Want to go left
But rights the only right away
Want to paint the town in grey
Who needs colour anyway
You find yourself higher than a kite
But than again as lower than a slug
Broken brain
Fix with glue
Filling...

i am matter---love, antimatter
never to meet save to explode
i am space, love is time
parallel dimensions never to meet...

This is too easy a lemon couldn't squeeze he, the blind couldn't see free, I wouldn't want to be T, didn't break a leg I cracked my left knee, it's not good luck if you're as bad as can be, why would I be cool with all this hot energy, and don't take your time...

The left side of my brain wrote a letter to my right side, just the other day.
It read “Dear Mr Righty, it seems we’re exactly different in every single way.
I, the Left, I do directions, do logic, do math- compute like a hawk.
Whilst you, well, you can, like, see things, guess and, well, listen to...

Generally, no kiss does attract opposite
But, necessary of course
For a definite purpose
Like in intercourse 
Kiss is important incidence.

Kissing stimulates
With the same gender it complicates
But, more importantly with opposites.
Nevertheless, for opposites  the more
Kissing is very afflictive!
Don’t joke….
Kissing is an ingredient between mates.

Kissing the lips is passionate love
Kissing the head is respect, irrespective
Kissing hand is submissive
Kissing...

She was born with fire     
Hot enough to burn bones to ash.
She was roaring
Screaming for home.
Then someone 
Something 
Put her out. 

He was ice
Wind 
Flying and chilling
Cold enough to fracture 
Shatter someone.
But gentle 
For the flower girl and then
nothing. 
No more garden 
He covered it all in ice until
Every petal crumbled.

Eons later 
The fire...

Like East and West you rose when I fell,
was that all we ever were?
Two poles that tried our best to,
with smiles like puddles, fit together right. 
As gum does under a wooden table,
We dried up and hardened. 

Your expression, once radiating untouched youth, seemed hardened.
And once your brow furrowed your smile fell,
like a fussy babe’s...

He's up, I'm down. He's serious, I'm a clown.
He's red, I'm blue.
He's crazy, I'm...
well... I guess that makes us two....

I stood on a corner, act naturally they said ! 
There was a tap on my shoulder and I let out a silent  scream
Good grief you scared me !. But no surprise there as you look like the living dead.
Now it could get pretty ugly as  Military intelligence have said
A small guy with...

It's said that opposites attract.
Recall how the north pole on one magnet
draws into the south pole of another,
and binds strongly together,
due to the strong attraction force between them.
When the opposite poles apart, get close together,
their fields interact, mutually strengthening
and drawing the other in to bind.
The alignment builds a strong force of attraction and a strong...

Lightning's fingers reach

Virgin ground awaits his strike

Opposites attract.
