Premium Member Paradoxes Can Resonate

Happiness and desire are not two

As Nothing and everything are not two..

No separation

Paradoxes can resonate...


Paradox

Trust that it will Unfold;
for even what seems Random
goes in patterns
 
Paradoxes  
glue every Illusion 
together

Human Dilemma

man’s ever-beguiling, eternal quest:
the paradoxes of life
the mysteries of soul.

Premium Member Paradoxes-dismissal and resonance

Paradoxes

Are stories with

 Responses of

Disbelief..or a 

Certain immediate

And quiet resonance

Which cannot be 

Explained..

Nevertheless...

Premium Member THANKFUL FOR TIME

Today I’m thankful for one of the truly beautiful paradoxes of life
Time…
and all she’s given to me…
and for her ability to be priceless…
at the same time…she is free.

Are stories with

Apparent

Responses of

Rejection..or of  

An immediate

Resonance

Burning borders

And a vastness

Which cannot be 

Explained...

Premium Member How many paradigms and how many paradoxes

How many paradigms and how many paradoxes 
can you stuff into a pair of pint-sized treasure boxes?
And the answer is not,
"Oh teacher, I forgot,"
because I taught you to reason like wily little foxes.

My Universe

Expanding with
perpetuity
of paradoxes
started from God or
a bang from a spark?

I come to grasp
we are on an
island in an
oasis of  

freewill and
spirited 
souls from seeds,

planted,
watered, 

grown.

Premium Member If Words Appear

If words appear

There can seem

An automatic

Separation and hiding

Of the dance in which

The words are engaged..

Polarities dancing

Are not two

Impossible paradoxes

And  a stunning

Emptiness...

Premium Member subtle scents

with transient identity having been forgot 
we embrace life, the shape shifting chameleon
enlivened by bliss magnetism, in vibrance we jive
resolving all paradoxes in the cave of our heart
etching fragrance of our soul in the vast void

Here And There

The coincidence of

attracts and repels

Polarity of motion
where  
all paradoxes dwell

Conjoined in their
distinction
 negating the either/or

Essential
singularity
— both after and before

Premium Member The Colour of Red

The colour of red
Bright and flickering 
At one moment
Looks dangerous or bloody
At the other moment
Looks prosperous, enthusiastic or sincere
Different circumstances different interpretations
Like the world we are facing
Especially the political world
Always full of puzzles, paradoxes and mysteries
To be solved 
Throughout our lives

After Visiting the Border, Sheryl Luna Exercise

When I open my mouth
Bats emerge
or worse, or better

What more can be said
How much more to know
To share, to oversimplify

Borders, places
That feel familiar, but not
My story


My language, my beliefs
But not my place

The stories that
Illustrate
Castigate
And just wander

In normal conversations
Ordinary paradoxes
Of those who are

Asking for help
Looking for
Dignity
Place
Something ordinary

Loves Tenderness

Falling so deeply into love's sunset
Sunburst of laughter never to upset
Enjoyment of loves tenderness is my advocate

Time approaches ever so fast, for loves last embrace
Burning desire only for lovers paradoxes
Taken so fast in your strong arms of grandeur

For each question is how long can lover's endure
Together we will glide through out each detour
Only to find their is no others touch so pure

Premium Member Pawn Shop

It sat with double doors propped open inviting the poor, the sad, the broken Its dusty shelves stuffed and sated with objects – some fresh, others dated I carried my dreams with heavy arms formerly dazzling magical charms Now in tattered cardboard boxes a life in unresolved paradoxes Prized possessions, cherished memories adored as luxurious shiny accessories Their worth besmirched and unfamiliar traded for coins of gold and silver.

The Elusive Art

Funky Funkus For Fortunate Few
Real artists won't do alliteration
Modernist are we the folks
Seeking adoration
Post structuralism 
Is the old order
Annihilated are the Sonnets
And poetic formations.
Conversing  takes another dimension
Philosophising,  Looping, interlinking 
Elastic boundaries. Self-analysing.  
Sociolinguistic inventions 
Obeying but rejecting universal conventions.

Paradoxes reign in the world of poetic art
The art. The art. Why art thou so elusive?
