Yin Poems

Tai One On

I wasn't long in Hong Kong,
before I saw my first tai chi,
and it gave me the strangest notion,
the exercisers, advancing all in a row,
were line dancing in slow motion.

They put their left hand in,
right hand out,
in, out, in, out,
waved them all about
and, set to soothing, soulful music,
the male practitioners suggestively sang,
"If you show me your

Gray

Reflecting on times, ones perfectly certain,
Without shadows of doubt on the mind,
As though shining, waiting by black or white curtains,
As though truth were so easy to find,
So clear now it seems, contrary to say,
Such clarity is not in the slightest,
As black, surely, but one dark shade of grey,
And pure white, just another, the lightest.

Premium MemberMemento On The Moon


A tsunami of black ash blankets half a world
Trash toadstool hoodoos, wastelandic pillage
and pollutant mucus ravishes lava villages
Draining is the amalgam mass at the end of the spectrum
Stone environs shock, unnatural landscapes 
Polyethylene islands flushing the canvas
Carbon contaminant fumes flair in mid drift air
Virtually no place on Earth is free of the polymer fog
Foaming magma

Premium MemberLight and Dark

The yin and yang 
Of heavy heart
Orange female tiger 
Male azure dragon with spark

Jubilant jaded laugh
Inside jaundice jokes
One can follow one’s path
Face what lies ahead with hope

It cannot be helped
You must weather storm
Life isn’t always fair
Always be in true form

Let go and let God
Grannie sings with faith
Be sure to guard heart
Save for rainy day

Do you

Premium MemberYin, Yang, Big Bang

  Where my yin meets my yang
    I hear a dissonant clang

  My physician traced it back 
    all the way to the ‘Big Bang’

  Seems I hopped aboard an asteroid
    went for a wild ride

  Hit my head on a comet

Premium MemberYin - Yang

the silence that listens -
the stillness that anticipates

what is one
becomes the other

   Earth spins
from yin to yang
- dark to light
- death to growth

what is one
becomes the other

infinite duality
less than grains of sand
in a mirror that reflects nothing
but a fleeting conscience 
- seeds from death
that grow in the light

  black is white and...

Yin Yang



             Bequeathed of the faculty of 
balanced return, of equilibrium, 
turning the totem burn of caloric expectancy, 
cause and effect 
translating universal machine dialect 
satellite positioning itself in the physics of
affection, affinity, sistered brotherhood in 
reality check of relative fee.

Beneath the atmosphere, here,
clings

Yin



            


          Inhale, exhale, like accordion-
     organ of music in your being, conducive.
Nor elusive to your counterpart, woman.

Be thou what you love to be.
Do not listen to militants 
that whisper fighting

Yang



      You know what you want, it is a golden woman,
one to impress and send you her look 
that makes all else pale.

Do not take for granted that she is there.
To make you laugh as she clowns with the children, wearing many crowns of the wildren.

She is the diadem that

Yin and Yang Poetry

beauty and ugliness are complementary, 
for good and evil
complete us...
Anxiety and calm are important
we depend on each other,
mistake promotes success,
failure, invents glory...
From pain, joy is born...!
We are dually incomplete,
We seek unattainable perfection
We are a combination of concrete and abstract
Humans yes, divine particles yes,...!

Transcend Duality

I've heard the opposite of love is indifference,
I think something different than that,
It's hate, though the hollows of nothing, far worse,
Solidified matter of fact,
Only through hate can we know of love's place,
Just as sweltering sweat makes us cold,
And the way that the moon steals sunlight for the night,
Day to dark, when cowards to bold,
In my
