Black Meets Black

 

It is said that opposites attract...

I don't know about that...

We're two silver dragons...

 

Dressing in purple and

Bathing in oils that compel,

Truth disclosed beneath

A waxing moon...

 

The clouds hid the stars...

 

Two Rowan trees

Understand their destination.

I'll feed you the orange berries...

Is a soul full of hate really...

 

More

Powerful?

 

Tell me.

 

There are many initiations in this
 Life............

 

No one else can do it.  What will

You do now?  Without me...?

 

Think carefully before you answer...

No one else can do it. What will
You do now? Without me...?

Think carefully before you answer...

there is no one without the other...and even though opposites attract, sometimes it can be a match made in hell.

a exceptional piece of work, nonetheless, my dear...thanks for sharing.

This was great as usual. A soul full of hate just can't be more powerful. . . not in the end.

"No one else can do it. What will
You do now? Without me...?" - Great lines, this was just a punch in the face,haha. ~Reeses~

This is very intriguing A. Many layers to it and I've read it several ways. Mysterious, yet matter of fact. I read spells ....magic entwined ....perhaps just my perception.

Is a soul full of hate really more powerful? You've asked me this same question recently and it seems to be weighing heavy on your mind. I can't help but wonder what has brought that to the forefront. A?

Your ending is superb. As you know I am one for endings and this was a perfect landing. Chilling... almost as if it's a dare... or a warning.

I love the passion and depth to your work. Beautifully done my friend, as always.

I love this poem, the shadow of imagery as well as the romantic way the artful passion reveals
a lulling, flowing portrait of passion sweeping like waves crashing and pulling in constant motion.
a love heightened by a sense desire, the need overcoming the reason, such beauty abounds
with ethereal scope of thought, it is brilliant.

[Ralphy]

Lots of sweet sentiments in this beautifully written write. I especially like the questioning. Of the moment, of the physics and of the love.
Nice write�.

It's nice to see some new pieces by you, and to be reminded how much I enjoy reading them. opposites attract? do they? you pose such a question in this poem, and makes us think deeper. your descirptions are beautiful, "Dressing in purple and

Bathing in oils that compel,

Truth disclosed beneath

A waxing moon..."

only you can do that the best. great poem. tahnks for sharing.

Wow, excellent piece! Amanda has a point there, too. Sometimes opposites do attract. Whether it be fate, love, or lust, both of them should know that no heart or soul is complete without the other's touch, forever. Great work!

Yes, it has been said that opposite attracts...
But just because it is doesn't mean that it should be!
This poem is definitely a metaphor, often in our life we waste our time just for looking the perfect person...the one who could complete us, in spite of accepting the person without whom we would be incomplete.

I really missed your writing and I'm glad that you are back and that too with a bang!
Really, this is one of your best! Brilliant piece of writing :)

[Nicole (Carpe Diem)]

it is a beautiful piece of writing ... and i love that last line...

FANTASTIC!!!

[Pax Analog]

Striking image.

I think sometimes "being different" is unduly glamorized. The basics of love-desire are simple. However, sustaining the basics throughout the hardcore differentiations of the heaving world is a profound act of affective attention.

Our samenesses and differences are more impressive when they are based on more contemplative rigor. Too often the sameness/difference equation is narcissistic and a big yawn.

"God is Love" is bandied about, beliefs discussed as if they mattered much. What if "God" is Life Itself? Then Love is the root of all. More Clearing in the hearts of humans would be awesome.

Beyond devils and angels are Free-Standing Lovers in awe of the miracle of touching.

It seems one of the participants in this enigmatic romantic musing is trying too hard to be "Other."

Intriguing poem.

[Ladysue]

Oh, a brilliant piece. I love these lines and I the second stanza as well...

No one else can do it. What will
you do now? Without me?

Opposite may attract and it maybe powerful but similar is better in the long run!
Great work!
