Opposites Attract

Life and Death,
  absolutely different
  yet great connection ties it.
  to become a part of each.

You never can say
  "I'll die today"
  Knowingly considering
  you're not existing.

Life wouldn't be called
  with the name itself,
  when Death is nowhere
  in this broad aspect.

Great and small,
  different indeed.
  However, great is undefined
  When small is not around.

Beauty and ugly,
  Obviously different.
  But how can you say something's ugly,
  if you don't know what it meant by beauty?

Man and woman,
  completely opposite.
  But a man cannot live without a woman,
  woman without a man.

Piece as this
  cleared the idea.
  Interconnection happens
  between opposite areas.

Without the expense of one,
  both are nothing indeed.
  For purpose comes with things,
  and everything comes for something.

Things purposely made.
Thoughts carefully examined.
Methods thoroughly formulated.
All these realized,
When everything's too late.

Everything needs an equal opposite. This was a lovely poem and I enjoyed reading it. :D

A striking piece of philosophy...death is generally considered to be something worse than life, but life would have no meaning without it, and is worthy of our respect for that reason...well done :)

[bryandc15]

Yeah, you're absolutely right. Thank you for this review:)

[kublakhan27]

No problem :)

[Harley Rose]

thank you:)

this is very good. It contains a lot of truth. Only thing that I would change is "You'll never can say" maybe take out the 'll part and just have "you". Great Write!

[gombeggar]

Wonderful! There is no right without wrong, and no cold without heat. Opposites definitely have a lot in common!

Good write in concept. You may want to consider in stanza 2 the use of you"ll...did you mean just you ? Overall, I like it.
