Night is like Day
always on the cycle
over-bearing on its turn;
Truth is like Fiction
gazes us into the eyes
shocks us unexpectedly;
Sleep is like Vigils
in joys, fears, pressures
you can't go into oblivion;
Reality is like Myth
stirring, amazing, incredible
for its twists and turns;
Love is like Hatred
one gets obsessed
with its ruling fever;
A Pious man is like Satan
if keeps his goodness inside
and does not spread it;
Pain is like Pleasure
weaving fabric of life
in equal motifs;
Age is like Youth
demanding though dependent
but having a rule of its own;
Life is like Death
if spent like evil
harming others around!
It is an exquisite write smeared in wisdom and philosophy of life and woven into a beautiful motif of paradoxes. Well-done 10/10
excellent work Shahzia life is like death if spent like evil harming others around

A wonderful poem indeed. Paradoxically, nothing means something or sometimes everything...: -)
Interesting connections give readers lots to think about. Fourth stanza is the best. Good poem.
