Paradoxals

Paradoxals

A Poem by Jacob
"

An eclectic piece using almost exclusively paradoxes.

"

Noiseless noise, sound through a vacuum.
The insane man speaks quite sanely.
The cutter in the corner bleeds out nothing
The lover hates.
The war creates.
The racist is indiscriminate.
The turning world stops turning.
The single soul stops living; broken.
The sunlight casts night unto earth,
The moonlight casts day.
The sleeping man is wide awake.

Time flows in reverse.

The infinite is counted.
She promises to break all her promises
What is left the same when your eternity is broken?
What is left when you kill time?
Where will you go inside yourself when you've torn your mind to shreds?
Where is the nowhere heaven in this world of hell?
Come close and ill tell you.

Holes in nothing,

Cellar door open,
Creation is destroyed.
