He stands in diametrical opposition,
taking in the measures of his opposite self,
taking on the warriors stance,
that leads into the martial dance.
His pace is measured,
every breath taken at deliberate pace,
as he puts on a mask of passivity,
that is now his warriors face.
The dance begins,
the energy pools at hands and feet,
as he waits coiled for the opportunity to strike,
his steps are refined to the point of infinite calculation,
so that no two steps remain the same,
to be analyzed in the warriors game.
The coiled spring strikes out,
past the mounted and now shattered defence ,
the defender has changed his vibratory nature,
as the defender becomes the one who is on the offence.
The game continues,
as liquid flows are merging,
and the offender becomes the defender,
as the defender becomes the offender,
and the skilled might and the roll of the dice,
become the judge of the victorious contender.
Simplicity seduces stunning symmetrically salivating stimuli
Complexity confounds controlled curiosities calculating clarify
Ambiguous ambitions amplify arousing academics admirable
Mellifluous melodies making magical memories memorable
Poetic pendulums pondering pensive promiscuous pleasures
Esthetic echoes encouraging efficacious emulative endeavors
Deceiving diametrical dilemmas distancing dichotic delusions
Receiving rhythmically ratiocinative raging roaring revolutions
Beautiful breaths breathing benevolent boisterous behaving
Irreducible imaginary immortalizing idling iconic interfacing
Harmonic hemispheres hovering Homeric humble hypnotic
Tectonic transitions technical tantalizing theatrics thermotic.

What's in a Smile?
Written: by Miracle Man
1-4-2019
Her smile has a subsequent afterglow,
It expresses to others what words cannot say.
Though at a diametrical crossroad, her face is aglow,
And she renders a smile regardless of her day.
Her smile, is a substitute for unsaid speech,
And upbeat and funny is generally her game.
If she were a fruit she'd undoubtedly be a Peach,
She's unpretentious, sweet and always the same.
Art follows ecology
of inductive diametrical synergy
As science leads logos
through deductive dialectical simplicity
As religious culture accompanies mythos
seducing ancient dialogues
in amusing sage symmetry
