First Verse

So here I am, ready to share a part of me, with every successive poem. This is among the first few ones that I ever wrote. It captures my hesitant thoughts, a precarious state of mind and the complementary oddities of life. Read on!

Opposites

A little joy and a little sorrow
Someone, somewhere is ready to borrow
A little war and a little peace
Life, my friend, can be a real tease
A little rain and a little sunshine
Always fighting for what is mine
A little bitter and a little sweet
Sometimes life’s a real cheat
A little hot and a little cold
Hidden somewhere is a pot of gold
A little crazy and a little sane
Sometimes it is just so full of pain
A little spicy and a little bland
Afraid to ask for a helping hand
A little smooth and a little rough
A crest is followed by a trough
A little fast and a little slow
Why can’t the good times forever flow?
A little naive and a little wise
There’s always an opportunity for us to rise
A little cruel and a little kind
At times leaves me in a bind
A little black and a little white
Teaching us wrong from right
A little victory and a little defeat
Difficult to always stay upbeat
 A little clear and a little hazy
Oh! Dear, Am I going crazy?
A little hard and a little soft
Tired of Principles to hold aloft
A little heavy and a little light
Sometimes lacking the will to fight
A little obedient and a little belligerent
A million opportunities to repent
A little polite and a little rude
Makes you pull up your socks ... dude
A little real and a little make believe
Often leaving us alone to grieve
A little poison and a little medicine
A little virtue and a little sin
A little trial and a little error
Life’s a mix of many a contrasting flavour
Each one for us to savour
Impossible to figure how the opposites join
 In the end they are, but two sides of the same coin...
