Par-a-dox

Thought experiment.

 

Par-a-dox

: something (such as a situation)

that is made up of two opposite things and that seems impossible

but is actually true or possible.

He said "Why are you always on my mind?"

Her response "Because I need somewhere to sleep."

 

She said "Why are you always on my mind?"

His response "Because I need a reason to exist."

 

~

 

There are two versions of my life.

That exists on two parallels.

Both equally lucid.

Both seemingly impossible.

Because something so amazing,

shouldn't exist.

 

One version -

You dance in my mind daily.

 

The other -

You dance on my perceived reality,

through spatial distance.

 

 

The Paradox:

 

Am I thinking you into existence?

 

or

 

Are you thinking me into existence?

Hi Christian, I Loved This Poem very Much so. My Favorite Line was,"Both Seeemingly Impossibe because Something So Amazing Shouldn't Exist." When Something is So Wonderful,it Truly does Feel Impossible, I Totally Agree with You! Brilliant Concepts, and Amazing Poem!

[Chris Micha]

Michele, I am wonderfully delighted and honored that you have such grand words to say. I am beyond honored that you follow my word. :)

I have to say a lot of your Writings I am able to Truly Relate To. Your Words are compacted with so much Heart-Felt Emotion. Your Writings always Strike a chord for me. I Think You are Truly Very Gifted!

[Cory Barrett]

With a sigh I say your writing has been a pleasure to read, and i feel that your writing abilities continue to advance. So fun to read all that you have to say.

[Chris Micha]

Man, I really don't know what to say. I mean, you are one of the best on here, so I am humbled, honored, and flabbergasted. Thank you my friend!

Very insightful! "Because I need somewhere to sleep" Wonderful line! Another great poem, you just keep amazing me with your work

[Chris Micha]

Awe Angela, thank you so much for that amazing review! :)

Holy cow! This is freaking amazing, Christian. Every time I read a poem of yours, I think to myself "Gosh, he has some real talent. I think this is my favorite." Each poem becomes ten times better, even though they are all really well penned. I like the concept of this and how you wrote this. The beginning of this was a brief definition of a paradox. I like when a writer includes one of the important literary elements in their work. Paradoxes can be fun to include in sometimes. There are too many parts in this that could be my favorite, so I am not going to isolate a favorite line or stanza. I really LOVE how you ended this too. The ending of a poem is one of the most fun to write. It can either be revealing, deep, or obvious. You left it open-minded for the reader to choose whichever path his mind wanted to think. Pure excellence. Added to my favorites. :))

[Chris Micha]

Wow...I'm taken aback by your wonderful review! You truly made me feel like I am doing what I should be doing. You're work is great as well, ma'am. Thank you so much!! :)

[Call_Me_Miss_Imperfect]

You are very welcome :) it's my pleasure. Thank you so much. That flatters me seeing as you are a talented man. :)

[Chris Micha]

Awe so sweet

[Call_Me_Miss_Imperfect]

:) Haha yeah I suppose.

[Glass Heart Inc]

Gosh this is genius, very unique way of seeing things. You always think out of the box.
"Because something so amazing,
shouldn't exist."
I liked this line, it stood out. I also liked the end paradox. The uncertainty weather you exist or weather she exists because of each other.. Giving you a 100.

[Chris Micha]

Dang girl, you have really made my day, probably my week. I am truly honored you have given me such an amazing review. You are amazing my friend. Thank you :)

[Glass Heart Inc]

You're welcome :) :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

oh my...."because i need somewhere to sleep" she says...and he? "because i need somewhere to exist"

that is the crux of love i think...so that there can be each other's world to exist in, to dream in...to love in...if we dance on perceived reality long enough, we will hear the music, and it will be very real, quite palpable.
i am so impressed with how you put this piece together...reminds me of Robert Creeley..and his conversational pieces...your poetry never ceases to intrigue me.

[Chris Micha]

I am blown away, Jacob! To hear this coming from such an amazing writer himself, is humbling. I sometimes am hesitant to put my thoughts down, but this encourages me to do so. Thank you my dear friend, always!

He said "Why are you always on my mind?"

She said "Why are you always on my mind?"

His response "Because I need a reason to exist."

Those lines were the ones that spoke to me, I have been there, felt that, and would have bought the tee shirt, had one existed.

Very well written.

[Chris Micha]

Wow Noel, thank you so much, sir. Your wonderful words means so much and I am honored my friend! :)

[Coyote Poetry]

"Am I thinking you into existence?
or
Are you thinking me into existence?"
Paradoxes of life. We will know many. I like the above lines. Most questions must be answered by time shared. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

[Chris Micha]

Coyote, thank you for your wonderful reviews, sir. It's truly an honor to have you stop by to review my work my friend.

[Coyote Poetry]

The poem was was very good and you are welcome.

A true philosophical conversation here. Life is full of contradictions, or is it empty of certainty? I was interested in the reference to "perception" and "reality" as it means different things to different people at any given moment in time. If "I think, therefore I am" is true, then you exist :) I need to go rest my brain now. Nice writing. Penny

[Chris Micha]

Lol...thank you, Penny. Your thought on it is the same as I was thinking. Always such a blessing to have you review my word. :)

[Crystal Ellyson]

[Chris Micha]

I'm so appreciative of your amazing review, Crystal! Thank you! :)

[Emily]

I like how you use a word that I have ever heard before! Made me think.

[Chris Micha]

Thank you so much, Emily. I really am honored!
