flat as they claim,
would never meet
in opposites...
Never USA and Russia,
would approach the extremes...

DeMille and Fielder, those we know,

Dying

Controlled to extremes
Unable to move
Without you leering at me
I slowly starve of reality
Of air
Suffocating
Drowning
'Me' 
Dies

A Question of Balance

Reality occasionally hallucinates,
      poetry almost always enchants
      our art is to balance the extremes,
      so that we compile the finer results

Rosanne Barr took things to extremes
She lost her mind or so it seems
Perhaps one day she just may find
That the American public is not blind

  Spurning extremes, clinging to the center
    Scorned by all, ridiculed forever

The 1st Trimester

Champagne dreams,
chaotic screams to new extremes 
as I push deep..

Perhaps a little leaked!
I ponder laying nude, 
my girl is peacfully asleep..

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

Passion Plagues

Destiny baits rendering fiats.
The extremes turn to falling dreams.
I’ve lost all cause and placed cost.
My heart is dead and blue plagues the nail bed.
Forget the past and die for what must last.

Purple Unravels

If you sculpt beyond the self
Terse transitions, ample ambitions

If you think outside the box
Daring dreams, exciting extremes

If you’re aware of all dimensions
Timeless travel, purple unravels

a hunger
      for understanding
      fumbling
      in
      banality
a wilderness
             of audacity
oscillating
between
     extremes
of 
emotion
   unfinished
..desiring

Summer's Friends, Lovers

Life, who has newly bonded with
Are Summer's friends.
Vows to, a worshipper's, renewed
Its lovers are.

Typically borne out in actions
Joyful and free.
In those, too which go to extremes.
No heights, depths bar.

Awaiting Love Forever In Time

Days of wonder
Nights aglow
Moments of sweetness
begins to show

Moon-lit night
Dancing among the stars
Shadows of dreams
Love beholds to extremes

Love forever in time
Moments of Bliss
awaiting for True-Love
Pure happiness...

Premium Member Inside the Now

extremes mean either
side of the fence as a norm
the middle is peace

the fulcrum of life
as unseen grounds to the eyes
water fish swim in

thee nature of space
is marked as unnoticed
it is called the now
