Extremes

Mile high eyes Miss Imagination,
beguile us with a new fairy tale.
Style the hair of an unruly wish
while writing a journey at grande scale.

No way let your eyes start to open,
throw out reality for daydreams.
Below your lids let your mind wander,
go past what is known aim for extremes.

Between the Extremes - POTD

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 updraft of hope
Friendship sun on my face
My place in

Splitting

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 offence. 

Shutting people down from entering my mind
When I see

The Carpet

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 extremes
Unroll the carpet red and shining 
You're the king or

Extremes

Approval's a craving, seeks even a smidge
Conformity dictates no room to forgive
Wealth is elusive, just over that ridge
Fame's a hot flame that's intense but short-lived

Faith's the assurance of things still unseen
Hope, steadfast, certain for times in between
Joy's not a feeling that scared, flees the scene
And love is a person whose death washed us clean

Ruled By Idyllic Extremes

Her love-life ruled by idyllic extremes
  romantic, passionate kisses on screens
fairy-tale princes on stallions pale-cream

Promises whispered on moonlit nights
  shoreline strolls under stars twinkling lights
two lovers' eyes filled with amorous gleams

Little wonder no beaux could live up to her billing
  any glimmer of hope she ended up killing ~ 'til
she retired to

Extremes

To be beaten by rain                                                  

Emotional Quotient

Water may be hard as ice
Soft as steam
Iron may be hard as mineral
Soft as pills
People can be good as saints
Bad as ghosts
Two extremes they may go
Emotionally controlled or uncontrolled

A Solid Nine

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 to believe there will always
be something better in my future.
I'm

Balance Between Life's Extremes

Ah middle octave's musical note C,
Balancing left-right hands, a resting point,
And marked white all over the central key-
Piano players do as it appoint.
 And beginners' first lesson, middling joint ,
Watering hole for fingers to return,
To, a lesson of a lifetime to learn,
That life's opposites tend to dwell extreme,
A rudder that wont let life wide off

Extremes

Craziest time in virulent living
                when protest is black and white to erase
                 invisibility
          

Polar Extremes

Explosion / Implosion,
caught in the din

Forces once pushing,
now pull from within

The physicist cries,
as the mockingbird calls

To see past tomorrow,
today in freefall

A binary motion 
of polar extremes

All consciousness split 
—dark hole of my dreams

My Extremes

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, it’s just 
the dragon downstairs.  
He keeps us warm

Between Extremes

In this life, 
you cannot have 
both world's,
no it can't be done.
You choose one, 
either right or wrong,
you win or you lose,
you die or you live,
you either keep on 
keeping on,
or you keep on living 
on the ground floor. 
Both cannot merge. 
But another hidden way 
belongs to those who 
finds the middle path
