Opposites

-- 8 --

Glaring at those dark, depthless orbs

Staring back at your fierce, determined ones

Blue tinged with scarlet

Black bleeding crimson

Eyes locked together

Silently conversing

Words are not needed

Yet intentions are unveiled

Emotions plainly displayed

Sadness… fear…

anger… betrayal… loss…

hope…?

How did things turn out this way?

Blinded by tears

Blinded by rage

Blows traded

Kicks… punches…

Blood shed

Nicks… cuts… slashes…

Opposites clashed

Fire and ice…

Light and dark…

And in the end…?

Things fall into place…

Seeking acceptance

Seeking revenge

Crying out for affection

Crying out for blood

Despised by all but few

Beloved by the masses

Both laden with burdens too heavy to bear

Both wanted for the curses they endure

Both tainted and marred

Both marked…

A sense of kinship…

A possible friendship…

But with each seeking his own way

His own place under the sun

They end up

Searching in opposite paths

Standing on opposite ends

Seeking love

Seeking power

Protector

Avenger

Comforting light

Consuming darkness

Life

Death

Uzumaki Naruto

Uchiha Sasuke

Author's Notes: Okay… err… so that was totally random… Hehe… I can't really write decent stories as of yet. I lack the skill and concentration and plot-making skills so I made a poem instead. Feel free to post your comments… I would appreciate any feedback and I need someone to edit it I think... hehehe… BTW, don't these two basically point out to the same thing… Uprise , Downfall ? Or maybe p- q … uprise leads to downfall… hehehe… I would really want to hear from you guys… Jamatta ne! (is that even right?) V !
