Yin Yang

Life is a lie

every word

every friend

every smell

every touch

every sound, taste, sight...
a fading memory, an illusion from the start


every means to understand or disprove this...DELUSION


life is pain, life is death



every tight inhale a subtle, yet painful grasp for life

a deep, desperate breath in thinned air

every exhale a false promise

every tic of time, meaningless

life is solitude, a glorified coffin

chained to the self

slavery

life is a bomb threat disguised as a gift

a shady, binding contract with the fine print written in invisible ink

a warm cozy fire place...that burns the house down to the ground

a joke, that robs you of the laugh

ignorance... plain and simple

I AM ILLUSION

i know everything i need to know

this is clear now

why did i come here?

life is...unbearable







life.. is fantasy

every smell

every touch

every sound, taste, sight, a vivid frame on the ever changing screen of vibration


every attempt to fully understanding this through words and concepts...ATTACHMENT

life is birth, life is bliss

space, light, love
 
every exhale a gentle, but exhilarating RIDE on the hum of exising
 
every inhale charged with suspense

a slow and steady drift on the eternal stream of beautiful now

life is a union, a harmony of the unique

life is freedom to explore yourself, your path

life is an adventure disguised as a challenge

a growing space, with surprise around all corners

an intense lightning storm, that nourishes the soil and crops

life is dust in the wind, that is the breath of god

The  manipulation of a small universe in the palm of your hands, that you perceive as one whole

and the manipulation of your universe in the palm of gods hand as one whole, that you perceive as many

it is...a masterpiece


...that brings tears

the one contains the many the many contains the one

the wrong answers are right, the right answers are wrong

contemplation in it's purest form

the now is nostalgic

I AM ..SENSATION

but fundamentally i am just...i

i can't conceive of the mystery of this life

it is indescribable

i never want to leave this space

"life" is... just a word

beautiful man, truely. I love this type of writing, simple because it is so honest and heartfelt. This is why I write poetry, to push the envelop, and I know (well atleast for me) that everytime i try to do that people will not follow to that style with me, but this man is breathtaking. "life is a bomb threat diguised as a gift". Incredible.

[Redboy]

thank you pushing the envelop is kind of my style too

[Relic]

I enjoy discovering treasures from the past I never noticed before. You've constructed this in dichotomy form and used expression in the utmost manner that is really impressive. Not one word wasted.

Excellent poem.

[Tina Louise UK]

A fine line between both, an amazing read :) x

[Pradnya]

Wow , i just loved your poem its so well written simple but strong. Thanks for sharing.

[Amoon109]

WOW. Have you ever heard the song Bad Apple. it's a Japanese's song but Listen to it in English and you may see what I see. Life is Light and life is Dark every day.

[Redboy]

I'll check it out!

[Amoon109]

Thanks you may not like it but I do. It gives out a persons expense of a dark and light life and trying to decide which to go with

[Redboy]

I saw it....it's good!! The girl that sings it is cute too ;)

[Nefertiti Virtudes Ahme..]

Wow....just wow...I honestly wish I had better words to use other than that..but I don't. This poem was beautiful and original as heck! Major kudos RedBoy!!!

[Redboy]

Thank you! It's still unfinished in my eyes, i still wish the second half was as strong/raw as the first you know? I've been on both sides and the second one is way more vivid and bright/wonderful than that believe it or not.

[Nefertiti Virtudes Ahmes]

The second half is still just as powerful as the first. It might not seem that way because it has a more..positive light to it than the first. Either way don’t doubt the capability your poem has to intrigue the mind.

[Redboy]

Thank you. It will most likely stay the same.

[cimmy wuv xxxooo]

I loved the way u have written this out. The way you describe both sides of yin and yang really good. A poem u can appreciate it

[Redboy]

Thank you gorgeous!

I like your perspective towards life....life's more than what we feel and less than how tough it seems to understand....Great and simply described!! Thanks for sharing :)

[Sami Khalil]

Thoughtful and with a deep perception of life. It seems you can win any challenge...An excellent write...:).............

[redzone]

Seems your very words explain how life is more than just a word, but many experiences, many emotions, many things. Everything can be explained even if for now we cannot explain them. Seems like everything is matter in motion, a unity and struggle of opposites that can be changed and transformed through conscious actions. Enjoyed reading your trip through ying and yang .....
