She likes it when the weather is cold, while he likes it when it's warm.

She likes her coffee cold, while he likes his coffee hot.

She is cold, and he is warm.

And they said opposite attracts,
Would they stay in each other arms whilst there are so many differences between them?

Would he keep her warm in a cold winter night?

Would she keep him cold in a warm summer day?
someone asked me to make a poem about him. So here it is.

A thing can be known by its opposite
and so all that is known is composite.

On glass it skated its thoughts
Breath of exhaled death lingered
It told of its intentions. The mirror
Shone like the sun was birthed.

Then faded in to oblivions face,
Obliteration consumed it façade
Till no shadow or light gleamed.
I remember transfixed on this moment.

Would I touch what was clearly wrong,
Coursed in deliberation, gazing
I saw oneself and shuddered. But it
Was not I that which was gazed upon.

It launched for this needing, of a reflection
Obtaining that which was vacant, I looked
At the mirror screaming and shattered its
Form as a shadow ebbed fading.

"I will miss you,
"But where I was pleased upon,
*"Now I am the reflection of you no more,
opposite

Day and night are  just opposites,
yet complementary ad infinitum,
sans any trace of discord, perfectly fit;
everything one comes across in life
is uniquely meaningful, let's not forget.

We are nothing like each other. Nothing in common, save our brown eyes.
The list could go on forever, enough to see the thousandth sun rise. We will forever live of separate planes, reaching through time to get to one another. But to be honest
My heart is bright and hot,
and yours is not.
My mind wanders to every corner of imagination,
yours never seems to leave the station.
My body aches to explore this world,
at home is where you stay tightly curled.
I fight for others rights,
you send them packing into the night.
I find heaven in a  beer battered cod,
you pray to the most unkind god.
I treat my body like the temple that it is,
you break your bones and drown your brain in fizz.
I know I'll never be a hero no matter how hard I try,
but I don't know if I will ever stop attempting to save you...even if I know its a lie.
Anyone else know the feeling?

I forgive your deeds,
Will you forgive me for mine,
Or shall we forget?
It is this oxymoron that drives most human beings,
And with the contradiction we live with ourselves,
But maybe that imperfection is what makes us more human?

We're drawn to each other like snakes
feeding the other with a need to love
and be loved.
Chemistry unbearable, we hold fast to the fire
that rages inside of us
because it voices our love
better than words from our tongues.
There's no science
to being opposite.

You are the fall while I am spring--
You bask in the hot summer air
While I relish in my winter;
We fight about which is better,
Neither one willing to concede;
Yet I am the start to your warmth
As you send the first chills through me--
You admit it is romantic
And I confess it is freeing.
We are a little bit of both,
So hot and cold and in between,
Yet you are a little more of what I want
And I am a little more of what you need.

I have chains on all four limbs
With weights dragging me downward
While time is heaving me up
Around my torso, forward.
I am drowning in the air
And can breathe under water,
I see all the colors but
Black and white, they don’t differ.
Clarity is one vast blur,
Reason is their opinion;
I’m locked in the parallel-
Or so I think, I can’t tell.

Round and a round up and again
The pouding of fists and the breaking of lead
The moments of treatment the happiness fades
The beating of darkness the bleeding of trades

And my heart will not follow
To the depth and despair
Of the rounds of their tournament
This visage unaware
Of my feelings and tearful sighs from above
I'm a distant stranded character in a land called unloved

I don't string my ties in a knot or a bow my heart is all wound up and will never show
I can't think for anyone
I don't know the path
I find you a journey, but I can't make it last

I'm sad then I'm angry I'm one of the two
Pounding the walls turning them blue
The red in their color the pink in their shades
The granted walls
The absolute shame in my heart from above
It doesn't want love
My eyes scan in them
I don't see the one
Yet I march on
I'm so torn up inside. I don't believe in things for me. I don't see love, I don't feel it. I don't even believe in love. I believe in passion and moments of happiness, but I don't believe in love.
