"counterparts" poems
As insecure toddlers, we were often told by our parents that inner beauty is more important than outer beauty. This is how they were able to instill in us the confidence we may have today, whenever we represent ourselves in front of other people. However, this is something I find to be quite inaccurate.  If you ask a random person about what they find beautiful and attractive, most of them would probably begin to describe a person’s physical attributes than the internal attributes. Beauty is defined to be the perfect balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings of attraction and emotional well-being. Since the attraction is subjective, the term “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” takes place. Many individuals would like to believe that looks are never important, and that judgments should be based on a person’s internal well-being instead of its outer counterparts. In our modern society, external beauty is more favorable since everything becomes more convenient, than when you only have internal beauty. People will always see your external beauty the moment they see you and not that beautiful mind and soul of yours, and that’s what makes them attracted to you. Just like with expensive cars, the moment a car is put into the market, the consumer who will buy them would first look at their exterior first before they would look for its driving ability; no matter how good its performance may be, these people would always look at its exterior. Also, external beauty can help you be successful, it can land you jobs, earn more money, and help you be treated with more respect by strangers than those with internal beauty. The preference for external beauty than internal beauty is what is wrong in our current society. We live up to the evolved norms of society that we have started to grow backwards. Outer beauty fades, and no matter how beautiful you are on the outside, once people get to know you, you’d be nothing but a simple less attractive human being than you once were. I would leave a wonderful quote here written by a great author: “A tree may look as beautiful as ever; but when you notice the insects infesting it, and the tips of the branches that are brown from disease, even the trunk seems to lose some of its magnificence.”

Why is outer beauty seen to be more attractive than inner beauty?

I should not have blamed only my father, but, he was the first to introduce me to raw and stupid hatred. he was really best at it: anything and everything made him mad-things of the slightest consequence brought his hatred quickly to the surface and I seemed to be the main source of his irritation. I did not fear him but his rages made me ill at heart for he was most of my world then and it was a world of horror but I should not have blamed only my father for when I left that... home... I found his counterparts everywhere: my father was only a small part of the whole, though he was the best at hatred I was ever to meet. but others were very good at it too: some of the foremen, some of the street bums, some of the women I was to live with, most of the women, were gifted at hating-blaming my voice, my actions, my presence blaming me for what they, in retrospect, had failed at. I was simply the target of their discontent and in some real sense they blamed me for not being able to rouse them out of a failed past; what they didn't consider was that I had my troubles too-most of them caused by simply living with them. I am a dolt of a man, easily made happy or even stupidly happy almost without cause and left alone I am mostly content. but I've lived so often and so long with this hatred that my only freedom, my only peace is when I am away from them, when I am anywhere else, no matter where- some fat old waitress bringing me a cup of coffee is in comparison like a fresh wild wind blowing.

look how far we have come, just imagine where we will go. Your imagination, is my destination, so sit back and enjoy the show. I might not be as talented with as my counterparts- i rather take my time mastering your parts. crossing your lines, exploring your arts. You can take it anyway you like, just let me take over when we get to my favorite part. I've been turning you on from the start, its only right I get you off. lips so soft, my scent doesn't wash off. Making sick love,send you home with a cough. I tried to rank you, but your off the charts. If this was a game, I'd be the King of spades and you would be the black queen of hearts. My favorite part of this, is playing are parts. I dont know, there is still alot to learn. I hate to see you go, but love taking turns watching you *** and go. writing you these words, i hope the follow you to sleep.Getting wrapped up in my words like I were your sheets. I am not trying to come at you the wrong way- but you've been on my mind all day. Putting you in all the right positions, my edition of feng shui. Take a mental picture and keep it stored away so when I finally see you, I can do things the right way. If it was up to me, you wouldn't know the difference between night and day. Close the blinds, lock the door, unplug the phone, and lets play; you do, everything, I say.

Mind Evalution
Your colors diffuse in hushed streaks across synapses, as empty spaces also become orchids and butterfly petals reach for a scent their counterparts in rain. A fringed April is actually an orchid.

It was the end of the world when Ares met Mars Supposed to be counterparts, brothers in arms But on opposing sides they stood Couldn’t see eye to eye And instead of stemming the blood Each took an eye for an eye Until in time the whole world went blind The sword attacked and the spear struck back But that’s what happens when cultures clash When cultures collide With anger and hatred it starts to divide But nobody wins, cos the dead look the same on both sides It was the mother of all storms when Jupiter met Zeus There could have been a deuce; could have called a truce But each wanted more and more The two as black as thunder And instead of stopping the war Each stole the other’s thunder Until in time the whole world went under The thunder attacked and the lightning struck back But that’s what happens when cultures clash When cultures collide With anger and hatred it starts to divide But nobody wins, cos the dead look the same on both sides The underworld shook when the earth caved in Pluto and Hades together couldn’t take us all in We didn’t see when being heartless In wanting the best of both worlds That the second of the two would be darkness And together the weight of the worlds Would send us crashing down to Tartarus The rivers overflowed and the fires turned to ash But that’s what happens when cultures clash

When Cultures Clash
I thought I would be raising a glass to freedom. But my counterparts didn't know that history had its eyes on us. The choices seemed apparent, Yet, we have been left bewildered and scrambling - Wondering whether we did all we can. My glass is raised to freedom - The end of freedom. History has repeated itself. The beginning of the end. And thunderous applause filled the amphitheater. Those that have felt wronged have decided the fates of those that have had no wrong doing. Two exes. One overwhelming Y... It's ineffable. We may weep and mourn today. We may weep and mourn tomorrow. We may be frozen in the moment - But our legacy isn't etched in stone. It can be changed by us all if we choose.. These sleepless nights will wear us down. The disrupted R.E.M. may disrupt our rest. But we must only rest until we are capable to go on. And when we move, we will move as a force of love. Love will oust the darkness that has descended upon us. Love will out. Truth will out. We will endure the worst and rise. And then we will raise a glass to freedom. We will raise a glass to all. We will raise a glass and drink to the revolution- The revolution that will be a beacon of light for those that need it most.   In a sea of red we will be the silver lining In a sea of red we will be the light. We will call those home. We will call to those that need us most. We will be united against the fear. We will rise and rise and rise. We will rise until lambs become lions. We will overcome. We will show them that we cannot be killed or swept aside. We will rise up.

Discoboli of African poetry has now sparked above aphasia The aphasic silence today breaks eardrums with cacophony Of the world audience in the by standing duty of workshop tubes, Executing poetic experiment on the origin of **** poeticus To link the archaic baboonish proteins to the black chimpanzee Cradling African man, the sire of all and their poetry. That when the Chimpanzee blood we poured Into the African veins of vena cava and aorta, Feeding the heart with viscosity of nutrition, And the Chimpanzee blood fell into deadly Tomperousness like Shakespearean impetuosity Once seen in Romeo and Juliet, giving timely Birth To untimely half the yellow Sun That juxtaposed planet of poetry Behind the star of tribe as a priority Condemning to stark oblivion all the fated, in full uniform of tribal dimunitions, or mimesis. Ever predated on when tribes form nations. A time to try the chimpanzee blood in the veins Of white humanity, battling cynosure Historically evinced in Antony and his father, Or Tybalt and Mercurial of mercutio, Or Macbeth and counterparts Or Hamlet the Danish and the inheritors of his mother, As the white blood cells of the white blood, Militantly attack the white corpuscles Of the misfortunate chimpanzee, Converting the later into A chewer of misfortune.

CHIMPANZEE BLOOD INSIDE AFRICAN VEINES
Lone star walking roads, crowbar in hand cowgirl I'll die for, I died and I died again, fluent in 6 country's, passports; pardons no cargo, but luggage is a stainless steel flask, half full, half way, to the moon if you asked me? Cadillacs in space, expensive taste that's masked with — the cheap stuff, inspired souls, they walk, and this forsaken path, they'll never make hell a ***** deed or two from heaven, counterparts we're equals, we're lost they're my colleagues, a scandal from remembrance, remember we followed rules? no response **** there's a shift in the rubix cube,  a memo from the warden, no weapons in the visit room, coordinating sin, a taste of gin before the see you soons, world was much warm before stone replaced the sand dunes, scoff at the elixir, cordially she casts stones, ******* of a demon crossing ponds is all the child knows, tales of the fishermen, who heard it through the corridors, all and all departed, with a fear of the other gods, strictly prohibited, a swig of the forbidden fruit, who are you to judge me, When Your Son Is Not Of Holy Proof! wedded to a mortal said your honor, absent i do's, abstinence is bliss and your crime ascends civilian law, guilty -- you're filthy, your son will never know your soul, I know my role and play it well, Your god never admits he's wrong, so why would I? — a baby cried, I'm present for my son's birth, and leave before an open eye the practice of a perfect curse.

(great grandson of Greek God Cronus) Our Deadbeat Father
They had played for too long. The stretching shadows sang in minor whilst tackling gusts scratched the colour from his hands and tugged wire through her clutches. Their fettered aircrafts swooped in plunging shifts: seconds of clouded rhapsody and cotton screams- equalled in deflection and discord. Their colourful counterparts climbed higher, twisting in solar breezes. They gaped upwards with tense suggestions neither knowing how to sever their tangled kite-strings.

Like a captive, I capture rapture wrapping around stakes that matter Joan of Arc battered Also tattered but, easily dismissive Refracted from fractured prominent phrases people play with Distinctly persuasive and evasive, dressed boyishly attractive, lax stature, dawning armor crafted by absence as if asked about it- I’m drifted Protection is principle prerequisite, when fire is lit I sort of implore your aorta before it’s incinerated to ashes Dethatched as a habit, with swords or hatchets crafted to singe heartstrings that attached it While I slash slick Rick as a quick fix, To fend for pretend pretenses or presumed tricks, I can’t quit Cause I hit lips against hash spliffs fashioned with dashes of passion all while rationing fireball cinnamon sips Martyr to avoidance I gaze at fabled dazed gossipers galvanizing grips on gritty grapevines while licking warning labels through smoke haze on blurred lines Capably unstable Other eyes attending scandal circles able to shout lies and rekindle handed arguments on tables with locked smiles stay boxed in Avidly amiable Searching for counterparts when combusted or branded Toying with matches loses meaning when rules reseed Those vagabonds claim love is some all end hard bent to mend what the same above can’t comprehend. Breaking boredom, I pillage pillows with night terrors And ardent arsonists yearn for flames that churn, turn, liquefy and learn learned thoughts and smoldered feelings Completely complacent Melting in one another they are completing each other like two candles tryst true at a wedding day However later the blaze is severed, smoke sears, and charred black wick stands alone for them. Aggressive and progressive. As for me never pleading, fire forever fleets to streets between iron bars I built that cage in deep heat and seep dire dreams once desired Suppose I’m a skeptic Roasted or disconnected Just jaded, just met you Always over it too soon Burnt but I’m amused. I’m useful.

With the onset of the sun in the horizon, the little creatures awake And dance and sing melodies tantamount to a group of chortling people Oh, how i wish such convival sights be captured And played back on repeat everytime you feel low As vagabonds they fly in search of food and shelter And when the sun does set, off they disappear in their nests Robbing the nature of its beauty For every day they have to give a survival test(from their carnivore counterparts) The broke pigeon was no different, her eyes gleamed better than Cindrella's did The vicissitudes of life had rendered it to be a mendicant. But she was a resilient creature and she continued her fight everyday Her condition started to exacerbate when she laid 4 snow like eggs Gathering twig by twig and working for an entire afternoon meticulously She made a perfect home for her babies which were about to hatch Be it a human or a bird, mothers always foster the children Off she slipped into a reverie of a bright future with her kids But the evil nature had its own sinister plans Her thoughts were interrupted by a cacophony of sounds of other birds She knew the sound was ominous Peeping out of the nest she saw a dozen eagles encircling the tree Her blood ran cold, she wrapped the eggs around her and a teardrop made its way from her eye The leader of the eagles stoop towards her and hit her with a beak The broke pigeon pleaded for its life saying-"I will offer myself to you as soon as my kids learn to fly" The Machiavillian eagle agreed at first, flew up high,leaving the broke pigeon to heave a sigh of relief The sigh was a short lived one as it swoop down with two other eagles on the broke pigeon Performing an act of utter perfidy, there was a sly smile on its face Turn by turn they devoured the broke pigeon And kicked the eggs down the nest It was a brutal ****** much more heinous than the ones we see But there was none to witness the fate of the broke pigeon And even if there were, they'd never know the events that transpired Never know.. never know.. never know..

*Please....... Stop talking* For I cannot be who you need me to be I cannot be who you love For I am neither wind, nor rain, nor summer sun I cannot light your nights like a full moon and it's glittering counterparts *Please....... Stop talking* For I cannot be what you see in me I cannot be who you love For I am neither Princess, nor Queen, nor damsel  in distress I cannot save you and I do not want to be saved *Please....... Stop talking* For I cannot be the she in your dreams I cannot be who you love I encompass no fancy tales of enchantment I cannot promise an ending full of happiness; I can only promise an ending *Please....... Stop talking* For I cannot be your fantasy I cannot be who you love For I am just a girl inside a woman, I am less a lady than you deserve And despite my honest words, my heart pleads *Please....... Don't ever cease*

Throwing themselves beneath the mechanized yard-work goliath, Salvia flowers bow their heads, heralding my passing Stooping to remove their violet hats, Thrown to the ground, trampled underfoot by passing metal, A muddled **** of half-death, half-birth Floral genitalia broken into fragments, shards of color Yet always they bow Stooping, self-subjugating, submissive, servile, stretched to their absolute maximum, fibrous tendrils ripping from the bed of grass Until they flutter gently Half-mocking their half-living counterparts Still rooted firmly in the mulchy beds.

Purple Salvia in the Blades of a Lawnmower
Curiousity killed the cat, What of it? I am not a cat and neither am I curious, I think. I want to know and see, but few things hold my interest. Lately I crave being craved, Lately I hate that I love the concave of my stomach when fasting for a smaller waist to contemplate in my mirror before going to work, Lately I’m waking up moody, Lately I’m grateful. Lately I need more sleep, Lately I’m not quite in the place I used to be, Lately I think I must be growing or changing because this new sense of knowing is gnawing so softly on my skin it feels like luxury. I think I must be on the edge of an expansive biosphere of me, complete and untouched, because the vision of her is fading as my ten little prints and their oblong archless counterparts bring me closer to the edge. Staring boldly, daring no one proving nothing peering down into my canyons. Just on the edge of this cliff, feeling my wind my edges my rivers holding me up, And up, And up, And down so far below. Though it’s not down that I will go. It it through. And richly on the other side I will emerge. But for now that is not my concern. Standing on the edge, arms spread wide, I’m alive. Quite Grand Indeed.

I am not a Cat
she goes to the beach with her shoes on - yet longs to dip her feet in the water the waves come crashing towards the shore, with open arms inviting her but afraid, she steps away only allowing the water to ever-so-slightly kiss the tip of her shoe a little more than the tip, and she scurries back panicked though never turning away from the water, she gazes still, pining with regret oh she’s so tempted ~ as the wave ebbs, she inches towards the receding boundary though unable to cross her own. the wave, patient as ever, gives her another chance and another, lovingly, incessantly, it moves closer, extending its welcome but she scurries back again thinking about damp socks, or even worse wet, sandy feet. how was she supposed to get home with ease? distracting herself, she looks up at the night sky though not the stars, she remembers instead their counterparts the stars twinkling within those almond eyes - smile brighter than the sunshine, aura peaceful like moonlight laughter louder than crashing waves but presence fleeting like butterflies. what would happen if she acted too late? unlike the waves, the smile would fade those eyes would turn away, leaving her in the shade ~ driven with the fear of loss, she finally plunges, unafraid. she’s in the moment, one with the sea she can think about how to get home, only when she needs to be.

tides of temptation
My feelings are like dandelions. Like ones in the spring they can be linked together in a chain loosely held together in a moment tenuously connected. but they are more like their fall counterparts, seemingly rooted, but blown away by a slight breeze a field can be covered by hundreds yet they do not define the field nor does the field define them. what are my feelings if not definitively me? like wispy dandelion seeds, soon to be more but perfect in their imperfect potential they are ephemeral fragments projected by heart and mind my feelings are dandelions. i am not a dandelion. i am a creator of dandelions and of fields and of breezes. of chains and of seeds. i am the master of my universe. i am the master of everything and i am the master of nothing. i am the master of dandelions.

WHISTLING AND SNIFFING SIMULTANEOUSLY Whistling and sniffing at the same time Can’t hold hands or rather get married United and collaborative in any case This duo may perhaps land into the life of some person The kind of man whose who acts, Performs duties of the shepherd on the flock. Like his initial master, He condemns wickedness, Goes against what is religiously evil, And exults the righteous. But he soon he craves for another pair of his robe For he does accumulate an avalanche of resources, His eyes are soon blinded. Would his robe evade being soiled? Co-operative sniffing and whistling, Can hatch into temptations to anybody, Even the half-human, half God Did he not get tested in the wilderness? Our big man opens his eyes one day, Finds himself campaigning and competing for, Trying to woo for citizens’ keys, Essentials for serving the people in a wider circle. Perhaps his whistling guides his path. Brings him in the companionship of Other servants of the people. Any devoted service present in that house really? Brotherly whistling and sniffing, May make one’s conscience slither backwards, Two or more steps into mud. He is now influential, A famous societal figure. His fat salary seconded with some allowances. Or even thirded with public developmental resources, Guarantees him total luxury. Is this not an opportunistic opportunist? Our Sniffer and whistler is contended, Complacent with his success. Jubilant with him servant is his ‘first Master ’ For keeping to the ‘sacred’ scriptures. The vehicle which carried him straight, One way to heaven gets crippled, It can’t manage to hit the road Like its American, British and Chinese counterparts, His sincere promise goes unfulfilled Unmet due to his pretentious pretence. His ‘second’ Master gets extremely mad. For loyalty and faithfulness denied. And furiously plucks him from glory. Simultaneous whistling and sniffing, The ‘initial’ heaven can’t simply put up with them. A wise servant of the masses A true leader should only whistle at a time, Sniff at a time.

Whistling and Sniffing Simultaneously
WHISTLING AND SNIFFING SIMULTANEOUSLY Whistling and sniffing at the same time Can’t hold hands or rather get married United and collaborative in any case This duo may perhaps land into the life of some person The kind of man whose who acts, Performs duties of the shepherd on the flock. Like his initial master, He condemns wickedness, Goes against what is religiously evil, And exults the righteous. But he soon he craves for another pair of his robe For he does accumulate an avalanche of resources, His eyes are soon blinded. Would his robe evade being soiled? Co-operative sniffing and whistling, Can hatch into temptations to anybody, Even the half-human, half God Did he not get tested in the wilderness? Our big man opens his eyes one day, Finds himself campaigning and competing for, Trying to woo for citizens’ keys, Essentials for serving the people in a wider circle. Perhaps his whistling guides his path. Brings him in the companionship of Other servants of the people. Any devoted service present in that house really? Brotherly whistling and sniffing, May make one’s conscience slither backwards, Two or more steps into mud. He is now influential, A famous societal figure. His fat salary seconded with some allowances. Or even thirded with public developmental resources, Guarantees him total luxury. Is this not an opportunistic opportunist? Our Sniffer and whistler is contended, Complacent with his success. Jubilant with him servant is his ‘first Master ’ For keeping to the ‘sacred’ scriptures. The vehicle which carried him straight, One way to heaven gets crippled, It can’t manage to hit the road Like its American, British and Chinese counterparts, His sincere promise goes unfulfilled Unmet due to his pretentious pretence. His ‘second’ Master gets extremely mad. For loyalty and faithfulness denied. And furiously plucks him from glory. Simultaneous whistling and sniffing, The ‘initial’ heaven can’t simply put up with them. A wise servant of the masses A true leader should only whistle at a time, Sniff at a time. But not sniffing and whistling simultaneously.

It is far too easy to become as nasty and as evil as our counterparts when they have treated you that way far too long And it worsens, As they deny the aftermath of this treatment to you It's passed down, Turmoil building turmoil, rolling it up to start the base of a snowman It causes the destruction of our hearts, distorts our minds, to casually gloss over our eyes The consequence? Every generation is weaker than the last ***They think they're unpredictable and rambunctious, but they don't realize, That this is controlled too***

Internal conflict (discrimination)
One of these days, I'll get to speak my vow to whomsoever the great love of my life is. ============================ "I’m so grateful that we cross paths in this very lifetime. Through the fire and through it all, never really thought we’d make it this far. With all the time we have left, may it be filled with blessings, joy and peace; not just for ourselves but also for others. Because I know we are here to be the light for the world, that our encounter was fated, that it has always been written in the stars ever since the dawn of time. With all the time we have left, I’d encourage us to create all the memories we’ll carry to the end of time in the afterlife. Having our souls united as one in a harmonious union truly means the whole universe to me and it’s something I sincerely cherish with my all. I will always fight for us, for our lives And I will never give up on us, For as long as we both shall live. Thus, I vow— However long we’re privileged to be each other’s counterparts, However long we’re privileged to be each other’s wives, to fill the world with all the love and the joy you deserve; ‘til the end of time, to the ends of the world, ‘til death do us part, ‘til death we do art. As above, so below, As within, so without. As the universe, so the soul; And so it is." ============================

Union Vow
Two equal parts of a fully functional machine mirrored and moving, a passionate computer side "A" is off-putting, rude, self-centered while side "B" puts on friendly smiles centered on the world. Much would be gained from two strong counterparts working together, however, only one side can be seen at a time how do you solve an enigma such as that?

Enigma such as that
As humans, we like to think we are humane, What is humanity? We like to think we’d be there for our friends; we’d be gentle on our foes, We’d forgive and also maybe forget; we’d sacrifice and be moral. When our morality is under question, we’d be loyal and we will live honest lives, We won’t backstab or ***** about others; we’ll be upright in our opinions, We’d be righteous and true and withhold composure within the most strenuous times. We would work for the betterment of society and cosy with strangers, In Hope that they will be friends. We’d look for beauty in the world and we’d be happy though strive for more, We’d live happy human lives and leave behind a legacy for others to aspire from. We’d be all that we wish we could be, and more. But how many of us are like that? Not one. Not one human being. We lie, we torture, we hate. We’re not benevolent on our foes, we wish evil upon our friends, Our morality is outward and forgiveness a rarity. We plot, we ****** we hate. We think these things are to be proud of, We live of speaking evil; it is a need, a drug. We break. We hurt. We hate. We blame others for our mistakes; we never take the fall, We take advantage of those who love us, we run after those who do it us. We burn nature and wonder why it balances out with human sacrifice, We live human lives, but wish to outlive our counterparts, looking constantly, For immortality. Our legacy is of lies and façade. We are the supreme race and we proudly Hate, hurt, ****     Doesn’t matter, its human nature, we think, we feel it, we just don’t say it. Felinely-   Aisha.
