CONTRASTING VISIONS



        




        all is perfection and beauty
       for a pure and amicable vision
       all is ugly for a defective soul

Contrasting Similarity

The difference between
poetry and prose
Whose words live together
under your nose
With prose you can finish
last page period end
But poetry boundless
 — to forever extend

Premium MemberA Dream World

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 we pray

Premium MemberBlack and White

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 not in front of the law
But not in front of

Premium MemberContrasting Lights

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 had another type of sensational hunger,
For at the end of

Premium MemberContrasting Moods - Fiction

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 quiet moment at the end of the day
sometimes I pray.

Premium MemberContrasting Elements

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 this mess

Premium MemberMy Contrasting Thoughts

I sit in the solitude of my many contrasting thoughts.
Yes in one way I would but in other scenarios, I would simply not.
I can see so many sides to the problems, nothing is written in concrete,
Ink is too permanent as I sit and I think, my thoughts oh so sweet.

Premium MemberContrasting Worlds

Relatives hanging out of every orifice, window, ledge, and lawn chair
Hands out, the two starving children beg as people walk by, ignoring them.
In Great-grandma McCormick’s teeny tiny farm house, during family reunion.
No more bowls of rice, no more bread, there is nothing left. Hunger sets.
Laughter wafts from the barn, behind the shed, and especially the
