So conservative the wild animals habits are
And the birds are behaving traditional
But there’s a one animal who’s gone too far
To show off he progressed from original
The results that were reached are impressive
No one dares to deny the Man’s genius
Man was destined to become progressive
Self-boasting and often fastidious
Though his tastes can be fickle at times
He owns one or two constant traits
He kills other men for the reason he likes
To get what he deserves, then he bates
So a Man seems a bit contradictional
In comparison to other animals
Whose behaviour still goes like traditional
Withing their own kind, they’re not enemies
Hear the Orangutan speaks to his son:
“Seen a man, then rush quickly to hide
They spoil what they touch, and they cease everyone
Man’s a killer, who haven’t yet died”.
Manichaeus walked in sunlight with a lamp ~ looking for the moon's light
Like a window with crystals of snow,
I am cold.
Like the little fire in a furnace,
I glow.
My skin so numb,
What's underneath this u ever wonder?
Why would you?
when you yourself are at the edge where u stumble.
So I ask myself,
what is this hassle, I am in mid of?
Why I feel cold
With the fire of anger, I m build of?
Perhaps it's nothing but the disability
To enact what I feel.
Hence blinded by the winter fog
And paralyzed should I become from head to heel.
So what if I swallowed the heat and
Hindered it from coming up again?
Next, I hid beneath the sheet
Because nothing no more balanced the cold pain.
In the end I realize
How foolish I am!
To compare me with the being so sacred.
Mine with the lives of snow and fire;
The sheer example of
Two contradictory existence
'the nature and a liar'.
Penned down in January, 2022
the strangest me I have
attended this morning in mind
pointing out things I didn't know
about myself
for example the power of resignation
that I demonstrated by not rebelling
when the garbage swallowed my convictions
and also the ability to heal myself
of the painful wounds that were inflicted
by the continual battles of contradictory thoughts
the weirdest me take charge sometimes
if higher emotional intelligence is needed
to resolve these existential questions
for which I traditionally have no answers
for being a complete idiot
when the matter concerns
to something other than
the usual simple and regular self.
Contradictory
A sensitive empathic free spirit with periods of moodiness
My son daughter and boyfriend love and hate me for this
A unified world where love and equality rule my dream for them
I fear the approach of tomorrow with nervous anticipation
Promises broken unbearable consequences damage I can't repair
But the Pacific Ocean Joshua Trees and Redwoods call to me
Resident of this decaying mantle

I wanted to say I want you
But doing so is as impossible as bringing romeo and juliet back to life
I wanted to say I like you
But looking into your eyes makes me pity myself and change my mind
I wanted to say I've already fallen for you
But saying that would mean nothing 'cause I know you don't feel the same
I wanted to say I want you
I want my mind to understand that wanting you is all I want
Because in that way, this heart wouldn't beat so much and this tears would stop coming out
Because if that is the only thing I'm holding on to, then wanting you is just craving you, and not needing you
I wanted to say I need you
It seems crazy, but you know I'm crazy
What's crazier is that I wanted to say all of this to you, but I can't really tell you
I want you. I like you. I love you. I need you.
'I' always seems to connect to 'you', but you can't to me
How tragic it is that wanting someone can make you need them
It's scary- but I was taught to face my fears
In the kingdom of love and passion
I find my feelings trapped in a mansion
A golden mansion haunted by a ghost’s spirit
Who unfold a web into my own spirit
Preventing my mind from thinking right
Veiling my eyes who no longer see the light
My heart seems to be a party to this plot
For he is ready to act and enjoy himself at any cost
Leaving me alone with fears and doubts
And I am afraid to let them out
It seems like they are playing a trick on me
And I am tempted to act even though a voice is warning me
Contradictory feelings take residence into my mind
Some are telling me to let go because I will be fine
While others are telling me to take it slow
Before I fall into deep sorrow
But how to resist this sweet taste of happiness
When it wraps my heart with warmth and tenderness
Dating, Oh! so much fun doing new things
This person is perfect in every way
Movies, pop corn shared, touch, a brush__ heart sings
Just want that caress, the arm around_ stay
Now awaken to another day_ no play
No brushes, that gentle caress gone, left
Control norm making demand; no sun rays
No I will not go to a movie_ deft
Dying on the inside daily
Longing for love, acceptance, fun again
Could be just a walk in the woods_ babe
Sitting close or lying on couch in den
Soon I'll be gone no longer home __near
I'll go out to find myself, my soul, love
You don't like 'Chav's'
you hate those who judge
Your open minded
with opinions that won't budge
You claims of wholesome honesty
are laced thick with lies
Your words are contradictory
still you do not realise
Thirty nine reasons,
to say no,
none to say yes,
as yet I do say yes,
I still do not see why I did,
say yes,
but that I did,
has to be defended,
and kept.
help me bury each one of those,
thity nine,
that I had raised,
neat,deep and fast,
as if they never did exist.
first " there's not time like the present" then they say "haste makes waste"
then "don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today"
"the more things change the more they stay the same" some say
and in the next breath"tomorrows another day"
they say "if it don't happen naturally then leave it"
then "if at first you don't succeed try try again "can you believe it?
