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

[nigrum homonculus]

very clever. i re-read this a couple of times. one of my favourites so far on this site. well done. your wordplay is SERIOUS

[Laura Maidah]

You're just listing senses in the beginning. I want sensory details. Poetry is a planet of its own making. Try adding explicit scenery.

[Jordan A. Wilson]

This is amazing. The sentiments of the two stanzas really captures the Yin and Yang concept. To me the Yin and Yang in this piece alluded to pessimism and optimism, life and death, existentialism and realism. Terrific food for thought.

[Who Cares]

Wow, I liked this a lot the first half is representing a darker spin on the Yin-Yang theory and the second half representing the joyous side thus creating Yin-Yang. You make the reader feel and think peace and balance. The title is very suitable for the writting. Imagery was vivid and beauiful. "Life is solitude, a glorified coffin" That was my favorite line. Slight grammaatical errors, such as capitalization and word arrangement but nothing to distracting. Wonderful piece, keep writing :D

[Rusty]

Intense increadible poigniant write. Well done and nice imagery inserted. Bravo.

[Coyote Poetry]

A very good poem. I like to read of opposite thoughts and actions. Good to know the good and the bad in a life. No weakness in the outstanding poem.
