Premium Member Irreconcilable Paradox
An endearing dialogue silence imparts
Gushing to confer but reluctant to talk,
Much is said by the unspoken glance~
A loud message of quiescent hearts;

Awareness resounds from unaware,
Void blares~ something lives there,
Feelings inhabit space of emptiness
As spirits shape form of nothingness
And passion conveys sans language.

Love is a prompt,...

Premium Member The Paradox of Love
We love those who don’t love us
And we don’t love those who do
We long for the unfaithful
And neglect those who are true

We give to those who have no need
And withhold from those who do
We run after those who run away
And run away from ones who...

The Paradox of Time
You've seen 
what time can do 
     How 
     winds
           carve rock 
and how ancient seas 
  dumped their sediment 
on the ground
   ...

The Christmas Paradox
Merry Christmas and all that stuff and don’t forget to write,
Now if you would all be on your way I’d like a silent night.

It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed your stay, I have you must believe me,
I just wish that it were over now because...

The Paradox of the Jewish Youth
There is a disturbing discrepancy
Between mortals and the spirit world,
Such as the eternal salvation of man
From the curse of sin and its hold.

The paradox of a meek virgin conceiving
After being by the Spirit overshadowed,
And then a perfect chap is born in a manger
Is a narrative...

Paradox
PARADOX
Every line has a meaning; every meaning has a line…
              We think we have the worst story;
We heard other’s, we exclaimed, ‘GLORY’

A Peale Paradox
'"The power
of positive thinking"
in this hour
of humanities' stinking
is 
insanity.

When we kill
and maim
in our free will
democracy game
its hard to remember
we hold a distinction
as the highest  form of life.

Animal
cannibal
what heights of intellect
do we dare to claim
as we slaughter
in the name of some
hypocritical ideology?

'"The power of positive...

Meeting you here at last grasping 
every thought every meaningful 
gesture I'd wrap myself up in the 
essence of your bronzed glow
slowing lowering my minds eye 
to the depth of your soul capturing
 
this bountiful energy that seemed
to restore over and over again 
mastered to...

Paradox
Maybe she doesn't take the covers
Off her furniture because she
Doesn't want it to feel like home

Maybe she painted the walls black
Because her favourite colour was
white

Maybe she threw her vinyl records
Off the fourteenth floor because
She adored them so much

Maybe she drank whisky a little
Too much because...

Paradox
Hold onto your spirit my old soul
my young nights floating in sky,
with black clouds moving to light stars
do war drums still pound against your sanity?

Signs of victory in labyrinths you'd found
but blazing sparks still burn your brown books,
with ghosts on roads of mourning nights
can you...

Paradox
I went off into the night again;
No one forgives me when I have sinned.

I am a paradox 
Leading
The blind to believing.
They found me
Screaming
About the paroxysmal feeling.
The voice fell off like a spirit leaving;
The ash
Seeps out of my being.

Tell me something wild you did;
Tell me something...

Leaderboard paradox
Bard, crank or chatterbox
Irreconcilable
Most undeniable
Two titles possible?
Can't have all three

Flourish and elegance
Meter and relevance
Grasp of the elements
Sensitive delicate
Post the best poetry
For all to see

Building community
Post with impunity
Dishing encouragements
Never discouragements
Attaboy lunacy
Nice job! Spondee

Magnitude, quantity
Content moronity
Quality suffering
Sputtering, stuttering
Faster through brevity
Haiku for me

Where is the paradox?
Chatter and...

my mind is an abstract vase,
adorned with

homing 
      whimsical wishes

Premium Member Mind vs World: A Poetic Singularity
Come my friend and let me lead you on 
a voyage to the singularity
where mind and world collide.

For what is the mind?
A filter that selects and connects
   the world as it varies
with all its cues and views?
   Or is it a...

Premium Member This Page Is Intentionally Left Blank
This page is intentionally left blank.
It is intentional, 
a deliberate attempt act of obscurity.
These are the words you are not reading.
These words do not exist.
Their appearance exists nowhere,
They are ghostly and untouchable.
They are empty invisible vessels,
Voids, absent content.

Your brain is intentionally left blank.
You only think...
