Poetry: Red and Green

How do I express the relation between us? It is like we are red and green.

Red; primary and instinctual, the color of love and war, passion and ferocity. Green; secondary of blue and yellow, the opposite of red in physical property, the color of peace and life, new growth and nature.
Both representing such basic properties yet complex in unraveling.

See our wavelengths and tell me the designs you seek.
The patterns of light or dark; bright and dull.
Combined together, what mixes come to mind?
Holiday joy? Brown? Roses?
A battle of elements parallel suspended.

And yet, despite the opposition or maybe because…

Some look at us and can’t tell us apart.
