Minimalist Modernist
thinking like Stein but
drinking beer from a stein
remembering German days
not Paris

contradicting and refuting 
Gertrude's flowery words 
for
a muse is a muse is 

but 
don't 
include 
my Musa...

See-Through
She covers her skin 
with permanent ink
All to avoid the spotlight,
to avoid caring bout what they think
It's a contradicting thing
hiding from those eyes
Behind her detailed lines
It's a good story
about her life
She might look tough
but she'll give in without a fight...

Rose
I love your shade
Dark yet bright
Contradicting parts
A harmonious sight

Your lovely swings
An angel’s dance
A fall by cut
What a bloody jive

I am your soil
You are my plant
Trampled by water
Crushed by stream

You are my thorn
My unkind end
My hurt, my loss
Truly, my rose...

Laced
i live in contradicting realities
i wanna stop my impulsive tendencies
i wanna know what i'm seeing
'cause this is more than just a tease

you're so nice, so take this knife
and cut a pattern into my head
something i can understand
let me taste your melatonin-laced essence
so i can relax in your presence...

The Space Between Us
It is always natural
For things to seem so small
I mean through the distance
Confusion in perspective

It is hard to know
How sincerity it is
When you cannot feel the pulse
When you cannot see the eyes

I understand it is only natural
For distance things to seem so small
Eluding the reality
Contradicting the perception

It is only natural
For my love's depth
To seem so small
The space between us...

I Would Rather Love You
i would rather be here, if you would rather not be there,
if contradicting the sense of our unity portrays the love that we share,
my heart aches to see doubts pushed out the door,
far away faith tests the heart to see more,
God's love moves through one to give to another,
residing in the heart by loves means to discover,
HIS love never leaves, planted and firm,
bringing peace to our hearts through life's uncertainties and turns....

Mentions or Words
Contradicting everything 
one might think of love
or the act of being in love
yawn when the flowers
grow to bloom
and warm air
a night sky with a moon
us under this starry sky
embracing to remember our
reasons why
those who have caused us
to meet like this
might think we
are full of vain and selfishness
those who wish to see us part
are jealous and foolish
they refuse to understand
I am your lover
and you are my man...

My Symbolic House
my symbolic house
my purple castle
invaded by red clowns
a dialogue
contradicting personal icons
denying synthesis
denying art
trespassing
poaching
unbalancing decentring crucifiers
tearing the paper they make of my mind
tearing tissue
cells sinew flesh blood
a pavlov’s laboratory
for a crowd
appropriation
depersonalisation
obliteration
constructs and betrayals ad infinitum
a teleological structuralism
for others

My Mind
My mind unravels like yarn in a child's hand
A flood of thoughts and perceptions woven together by a comen thirst for knowledge 
It's what makes me
No one can imagine the deep dark ideas that float in my head
Only to be transversed by the ultimate enlightenment I feel on a daily basis
These contradicting ideas fill my brain
It is if I have two identities 
Two identities struggling for domination within me 
But then again....
Don't we all have this struggle?...

Image of a Lonely Distaste
With a lonely distaste
I set my pace
Patience for none
But for those that hold on

Climates of fear
People with tears
Waiting to be told how to run
Whilst building their castles of sun

I see myself
Like a plan on the shelf
I reach over the scrolls
Each one accounting my holes

The pictures of loss
The thresholds I cross
Contradicting my face
The lonely distaste

I am what you see
Just what you would be
But you’ll never see me
And for this I am free...
