New Sonnet 4 'Unlike a Spurgeon, I by dull words unfold'

Unlike a Spurgeon, I by dull words unfold
The limits of my Sarah's love for me,
But I realize that the rot and stink and mold
Are all within my mind, beneath my See.
There is no other person who can love
For me.  It is my duty and my joy.
It is the Truth that True Love is made of
It is the difference of man from a boy.
I am no counter of the counterfeits
That weigh love by the dram of sweet words said,
But rather, I am one who from above
Receives the gifts whereby he bakes his bread.
Into the practical and humble things
I'll pour my Constancy and give love wings.

Unlike Me, Her Hair is Made of Rabbit Pelt

Somedays,
In the blue I am unhappy

Somedays the clouds are
Wrong

The mother-friend becomes
ugly

Somedays, I am a goose who would like
To be anything else

My friend says it best -
We are sapphires

Unlike me, her hair is made 
Of rabbit pelt

I could love her but
Today, I'd rather not -

Somedays in the blue
I’d like to kill myself

We Had Unlike Emotions

I showed that it wasn't true. 
A beautiful life full of sadness, 
it's weird but I like it.

I suppose I should learn from 
my mistakes and look frequently 
at my facebook biography.

But I can't get it out of my head.
 I don't understand how I can be happy now 
and sad now. it's strange, Inside my heart, 
I keep asking, "Why me? Why me always?"

Heartbreak caused by abandonment by another, 
I always have the best of intentions when I plan, 
but on the other side, they want to kill me.

Unlike a Common Bride

unlike a common bride
she featured a turquoise veil
there were hydrangeas in her hair
her groom adored her even more now

The Two Unlike-Pole Analogy

THE TWO UNLIKE-POLE ANALOGY 

Analogically, this simplicity of poles might communicates 
extensive comparison of things life usually complicate. 
Just as the tale of "magno magnets", 
Like-poles repulsively repels even off a border 
and unlike-poles abnormally attract one another. 
The north pole of two magnets are set asunder;
Opposite poles of two magnets attract each other, 
but the like-poles are overly at loggerheads,
Similitude to electric charges which postulate same rules:
Like-charges repel, and unlike-charges attract.
This theory sums up the summary of a proven fact. 
The irony of life is, two different souls are match-made, 
We're bedazzled with such common rarity that doesn't fade.
It's sporadic to have two people with same traits
or cosmic (birthday) twins becoming soul mates. 
By taking a leaf out of the analogy of unlike-poles, 
attraction is established and so is unlike souls.

Once Upon a Time On a Day Unlike Any Other

the sun bakes me
there is no shade in sight
time is going by very slowly
all i have in my name is me
the insects hunting in the grass and in the air are better off than me
there are no hiding places anymore
nevertheless i find a corner to myself in this overcrowded world

the rain awakes me
there is no shelter to remedy my plight
my inner feelings are very lowly
all i have in my name is me
the overpopulated squirrels and the stray cats roaming are better off than me
there are no friendly faces anymore
nevertheless i find a small crevice to myself where i can become dry and unfurled

Unlike Us

Being smart is openly being foolish
We pretend but know magnanimity really ghoulish

A Twain of Unlike Twins

What ere were warm, inviting open doors, 
To this man maudlin and defeated kind, 
Unsure, frightened, his dog-tail tucked behind, 
He now finds shut, keys lost at far off shores. 
Asked of voyage, on adverse winds he whines, 
Given a choice from a pair of evils,
He chooses both— he who to doubt inclines, 
One sure can’t go wrong with his choice of ills.

Here’s him— lion’s gait with vigour and vim,
He minds no doors getting shut on his face 
And looks a sure shot like a tennis ace, 
Belief in him bouncing like rising cream, 
    All odds-against ciphered, game on a deuce, 
    And a shot that turns all don’ts unto dos! 
_____________________________________________ 
Poet’s note: “To a pessimist, his opportunities look like difficulties. 
To an optimist, the difficulties are like opportunities.” 
I think it was Harry Truman who said this. 
This Sonnet takes off from what he said.

Unlike the Beautiful Birds Daughter You Are His Heart-Cd

Miss you, yes I do
 like a Sparrow or Robin without their nest
Burden troubled bound by their crest
 you are ever so wonderfully blessed 
Safe and protected, you're like it in the Father's arms, well-rested 
Your God's beautiful anointed wonderful daughter 
And dear one, you are beloved worthy and loved by the father
You are His heart

Like Petrol, Unlike Petrol

Like petrol,
coming from a place of refining,
from crude to refined.
Like petrol,
propelling others, burning yourself,
using every energy to the last pint.
Like petrol,
when you are done burning yourself,
they refill, pick another petrol.

Unlike petrol,
never leaving the place of refining,
continuing steadfastly day by day.
Unlike petrol,
prioritising your growth first,
even as you stand up for others.
Unlike petrol,
refilling yourself by yourself,
staying filled, always relevant.

Two Unlike Things

Happy birthday, dear Emilie, 
A phrase compares two unlike things; 
The author's use of simile 
Is good as what the sentence brings. 

Topic: Birthday of Emilie F. Garcia (March 23)

A Love Unlike Any You'Ve Ever Known

I've never once seen the one I love cry.
But I have seen someone die right before my eyes.
There was a glow in her eyes as they closed,
Or so they say, as her spirit arose. 
Then I realized how we're never truly alone.

Even when one's sadness remains unknown,
There's always someone with the most love seemingly never shown.
I've never once seen the one I love cry,
But someday, like God's love, they'll find a comfort never known.

Unlike a Queen

A seagull cuts across Her harbor,
riding a thermal rising offshore.
And an ocean, ripe with primal smells,
splashes salty brine upon Her core.

She stands in solitude, gazing out
toward Her birth land and sister twins.
In Paris and Luxembourg Gardens,
they, too, hold their torches to the winds.

"Liberty Enlightening The World,"
She represents freedom and kinship.
And dubbed "The Statue of Liberty,"
She evokes two nations' friendship.

A gift to the U.S.A. from France,
she symbolizes faith in Mankind.
And this copper-clad lady's a friend,
holding her torch high for all to find.

At her feet lies a broken shackle
denoting freedom from oppression.
And wearing the crown of seven seas,
She displays a regal expression.

Greeting ships in the New York harbor
She's shod in sandals, unlike a queen.
And poised with dignity and grandeur
She stands tall and proud; in robes of green.
