Breaking concentration,
Losing conscious of this
Undivided world (yea right!!!!!!!)
I see rainbows repetitiously
of the contradictions it's met with, right along
With a pot of gold...

Two contradictions
meet intertwined
Are they or aren’t they
YES, the reply

The black hole of reason
dark matter of mind
Imploding explosions
— together in kind

exotic continent of contradictions
remote as remote can be
where deserts and cities coexist
where I can still go safari hunting
with traditional tribes like the Maasai

I'm reserved and yet outspoken, 
I'm open and yet I keep secrets,
I'm filled with anger and yet I embrace love,
I'm simple and yet complex,
I am a nebula with life to give,
Who am I?
I'm life's contradictions!...

Colossal contradictions, curtail creativity
Twisting thoughts, timing, trajectory
Buffering, blending between boundaries
Apprehending an artistic altercation
Learning lessons, lovely light lasts

a vernal breeze
blows through 
the mist,
the vanishing 
tree-tops glimpsed
now&then,
across the terrace
baroque&beautiful 
visions
         perceived-
contradictions
to marvel&muse,
contemplate in
nature's secret

I could not find the answers on these roads that once we walked;
I pled and recommended but it was only talk;
And now it’s only contradictions in this life of push and shove;
And somewhere in the middle is this thing that we call love...

And I start again,
Despite the insecurities, the little lies 
Despite the loss of time, the contradictions
Despite my anger , despite the furtive smiles
Despite the fact that I don’t believe in love 
Despite the other one 
I start again 
Yes ma’am !...

Bloody is on my hands
I simply can't wash it off

I ravaged the inheritance of my seeds
And gave them turmoil as a will

Late at night I crept out in the world
Giving mischief for sleep

Into the houses laced with quiet
Breaking contradictions of a family...

Drowning in oxygen,
Freezing burns,
Tight space,
Why is this all weirdly normal?
Everyone is clearly confused
Because suffering silently,
Obsessive love,
Slowing plummeting
Isn’t to you acting normal?
I’m rejecting humanities contradictions
We become oxymorons...

Excellent Angel. So I was told.
Searching within for stories to begin.
Contradictions, circumstances, consequenses.
Who am I to wear a name like this? Here and now, in human disguise, spreading my wings:
Stir up, stir up the breeze to storm.
Excellent Angel illuminate your soul....

When I'm old and tired
I reckon I'll say and do stuff
in my typically bold way will
inspire people wanna take me down.

I deserve it.
(Deserve is one helluva word, ain't it?)

When I'm old and tired
hope folks will overlook
glaring eccentricities and contradictions

In favor of effort to love....

The sublime elixirous fragrance
Rose exuding it's sublime essence
Teleported to nirvana, presence
Jarred by piercing pain of a thorn

Withdrawing not, holding opposites
Frozen in time, in the palm of our hand
The pain too transmuted as bliss
Dissolving all inherent contradictions

Quiet darkest hour, just before dawn
Alive with tree frogs singing, just for fun

Sashaying ways of sexy sways
Silent steps of saddest days

Screeching crow perched in a tree
Cries of eagles flying free

Dark days come, but soon are gone..
in the..
Quiet darkest hour, just before dawn
