When Opposites Bloom

During my final year production, I became fascinated by the idea that two people could be completely different and still bring out the best in one another. Inspired by a friendship from university, this poem explores how contrasting personalities can collide, soften, and eventually become something wonderfully whole.

The First Meet

With one look, comes an unexpected 

encounter of two distinct souls,

Coming together,

Creating a world unlike any. 

Like a solar eclipse, 

Made by the Sun and Moon. 

When joy meets tenderness like a happy child 

Admiring his first snowfall,

And a heart-warming baby-like smile 

that grows with a hidden spirit 

like the soaring mountains,

Awakening a new force of both 

fiery and softness. 

Its different energies may collide,

Causing an unfavourable feeling, 

Like magnets that retract each other. 

But if the right energy is found, 

They will bind like love 

that connects two hearts.
