Opposites (A Shakespearan Sonnet) <br /> <br /> <br />Within this world so complex and so composite - <br />With various variances and selfishness - <br />We often find that allied are the opposites: <br />Bound they are by more than brotherliness. <br />No ‘victory’ can there be without ‘defeat’: <br />For one to win, should not the other lose? <br />The ‘cold’ ‘hot’ becomes meeting heat: <br />Into each other Opposites can also fuse! <br /> <br />‘Life’ is stalked by ‘death’ throughout its tread: <br />Partners they, and yet can never meet! <br />Wherever ‘death’ is born, there ‘life’ is dead: <br />Thus Opposites are denied the meeting feat. <br /> They co-exist and fusion too, attain: <br /> Yet mutual strangers Opposites do remain!<br /><br />Dr. Tulsi Hanumanthu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/opposites-8/
