Set aside all my worries and fears,
Calm my heart and to your beat.
Keep me from thinking I’m all alone,
No one accomplishes anything alone.
Remind me of my accomplishments,
I’ve succeeded in so many areas of life.
I pressure myself to get it right alone,
Polar opposite of the actual truth.
Help me to remain calm and trust,
I have faith in your power and grace.
I’m leaning into Philippians 4:6-7,
Trusting that you will guard my heart.
If I stay focused on the task in front,
And don’t stress my desires.
It will not be too late,
To change courses and renew my mind.

The opposite of life
is death
The polar opposite of eternal health
is terminal disease,
with unease perhaps lying/truthing
in-between timelessness
and untimely demise
So too,
my opposite of steady compassion
may be your unsettling dispassion
Elation v deflation
of all these oppositional answers above
as clear
as unclear appositional questings
below.
What is my opposite of suicide?
Self promotion?
Ego inflation?
Having all my consuming needs
fully answered?
Or
maybe some uneasy questing
timeless mind
and spacious body
in-between healthy Now
And death-defying
death-denying
death-defining
death-despairing
death-despoiling
AnthroLove Here
Remains part of EarthLife There
whenever tomorrow comes
Now?
As Me curiously questioning
feels like our lonelier half
of We not yet
finally answering?
What could appositionally rebalance
death's final answering Earth-climate
and life's open questioning Anthro-culture?
What is the opposite of lively ruminations
and deadly ideations?
What lies contentious truths contenting,
In-between EarthBody's discommunication
desecrating death
and AnthroMind's sacred communion life?

I have been watching the reflective script of the above
Rocky and Bullwinkle show, its not a serious account, unless you go.? On
Climactic tangents of ideology.' Stratisfied in layers of
Polar opposite topography.' Ahead of its time, I do find,!
Its content worth study, as a window on climate lunacy.'
An antidote yet where laughs and jokes, aren't taken seriously.'
Which was a mistake.? According to the world we now see.'
And the antics some undertake.'

World has gotten far too awake,
Fancy gender issues to rake.
Sex, a matter of choice,
One follows inner voice,
As suits self choice, one bakes one’s cake.
A non-binary brick
Has broken old rubric—
One male-female that goes to make,
And woke, a brand new bloke,
Out, old order to choke,
Suffers deep slumber and can’t wake.

Poet’s note: J K Rowling of Harry Potter faces a prospect of arrest in Scotland for having said: Many a transgender actually is man under the dress. But if Western World is so 'woke' as to suffer from chronic insomnia, India seems its Polar opposite, comparable to say Rip Van Winkle who slept for twenty years, or Kumbhakarna of Ramayana who used to sleep six months in a year. The last line of this ditty alludes to this fact.

Chalk was bold, pale skinned, and big boned.
A soft souled, porous, sedentary teen.
Bulky, he made a big initial impression,
but seemed to lack in true substance.
And thus, was a temporary friend,
often relied on to help others with work,
but then discarded without a second thought.
Good thing Chalk brushed off comments with ease.
Cheese was very much an acquired taste,
with hooped earlobes and a waxy complexion,
quite rugged, yet packed full of character.
He wore a baggy beanie like a protective rind,
and from a glance, he could give you nightmares.
But behind his hard exterior, was a soft nature.
Easily influenced, he was often seen in a smoky hue,
chewing salty, sour snacks outside of class.
These two were really chalk and cheese,
yet their soft nature made them good friends.
Chalk helped Cheese get a grip and find his true flavour,
and Cheese was a rock for Chalk's sense of self.
Together, they were anything but, chalk and cheese,
yet never had they been more Chalk and Cheese.

Fear of abandonment and vanity.
Both are related to an ambiguous "me."
They frequently struggle to access a feeling.
They are unaware of their exact identity.
There is no such thing as a polar opposite.
Hence you'd sight them rather frequently.
Somehow, they are intertwined.
I am a codependent in recovery.

Gotcha
Caught red handed
Busted
You are indeed a
Fake
Fraud
Disingenuous
And how have i come to
this conclusion
Your word's and thoughts
Not mine
As you choose to record them
place them in ink
And they are now open for
scrutiny on public record
So forgive me if in future i
no longer choose to care
and now come across as angry
What can i say but just like you
or anyone else i hate it and it
hurts being let down
When someone says one thing
yet then goes ahead and does
the complete polar opposite
Like you just did
The proof is in the disappointment

i am accompanied by my polar opposite
i do not know why, but she is meant for me
if my smile was in the middle of a forest
a maze would be erased immediately
if my self esteem was in a cooking pot
not one bubble could expose the steam or the heat created
if my worth was on a cliff
it would stay stock still and forget the meaning of 'jump' or 'how high'
if my completeness was voyage to the end of the rainbow
the radiant aura of her presence would be God's Blessing In Diamond Studded
i am accompanied by my polar opposite
i will never try to comprehend, for it is my pleasure to lover her without question

A Zen Koan
So you don’t understand a zen koan?
To you, it makes no sense?
Then get some sense and apply it!
Everything has a polar opposite
that’s how things are; think
deeply to soar higher; you must
learn to stand, before you can sit.

i remember,
therefore i have come to pass
what is't but retention
something other than the now
to be again forgotten,
and called to mind
once more
that, something of descartes
might prevail
and, by removing itself
be as truth unseen
a first and last,
where-in there is nothing
but the polar opposite,
"i think (therefore).....i am...
therefore i think
i am..."
future-past,
thoughts of a now
but that is naught,
as unspoken truth be
what lies neath,
and unquestioned
sought,
with one eye
to the horizon,
a depth
of mind,
no token,
"i think...
therefore....peace"

Residue of tears..
Tear stained cheeks..
Moistened by its residue
Swollen eyes with irritation..
Saddened by circumstances ..
The daggers that have been thrust upon one's life..
Painfully stricken like a plague ..
Residue of tears..
Tears flowing and cascading like a roaring waterfall..
Roaring waterfalls of sorrow..
A deepened sorrow empty and hollow..
Solidarity non existent..
Had dug a deep, dark, hole in a lonely cave..
A empty cave of which is hollow..
Sorrowful and isolated
Pointed daggers in the direction of isolation..
Darkness had erupted..
Desperately seeking the polar opposite..
Had taken a glimpse of light..
There was a beacon of light..
A brightness of hope..
Then there was a light at the end of the deep, dark and lonely cave..
A bright and beautiful beacon of light..

I see myself as I really am
A broken-down, unstable dam
A mighty lost, little lamb
I hear myself as I walk around
I'm a valley, below the ground
A lot of mixed feelings per pound
He, the Lord, is the mountain above
His spirit shimmers and soars as a dove
Merciful and mindful is He with abound love
I whisper in the atmosphere below
I pray in solitude's hold though...
Overcome the hardship and the pain of rain aglow
The sun is but a shadow, hidden and alone
The moon is but a reflection, slightly shone
The clouds of dreariness is but a lone bone
I am who I am and I, alone, won't be enslaved by regret
I am His lamb, a well-built dam by His illuminating empowerment, all needs and wants met
Humility and obedience are lifelong traits to achieve I bet
Give me eternal fire to burn away the snowstorm of shamefulness
Lift me up, don't weigh me down like gravity's hopelessness
Feeling and dealing with mixed sentiments per pound more or less
These bittersweet, pitiful emotions
Collide like two polar-opposite oceans
These hideous, yet precious notions -
We meet again...

I knew you.
I knew you before we met that day.
My soul knew you like never before.
You gave me peace, yet
Opened my eyes to the wild nature of my soul.
I’ve met you in another life, another time,
I find comfort within you.
Contrastingly conflicted.
I have never hated to love you,
And I have never loved to hate you.
We breathe the same breaths,
And beat the same beats.
But we hurt the same pain.
And annihilate together.
I am home.
My wonderfully destructive house you have created.
You are oddly familiar.
We paint the same circles
And build the same walls.
My polar opposite,
My other half.
Oh, please never leave.
I’ve known you before.
Oh, beautiful chaos.
Your peace is my brokenness
And my patience is your weakness.

I wanted to find God
I wanted to see the Universe
I wanted to Converse with
Self intimately
I wanted 20/20Vision
On a 40/40
Dose.
Embraced my polar opposite
Corresponding to Heaven
And Earth
An Eden Alternative
She gave me Gold
Hermetic Alchemy
Freedom from chains
Unraveling my 144
Cell by cell
She aligned my chakrahs
Thru Universal OM Chants
No longer fighting self
At Ease with
What I'd been looking for
As I gaze upon her
Unraveling Mystic
Secrets
Lay ahold to Foundation
Of Cosmic Worthiness
All in Her presence
My Introduction
To becoming a God.. Kevin Guru©2016
