ASYMMETRY

So much like your reflection in the mirror

Fidelity to actuality:
A belief to an intuition.
Your mind tells you what should exist
Human as you are.

Amid ocean of words,
I swim into the depth of your thoughts
My lexicon is full;
My hunger is not sated.

Scrape of the quill on ivory sheet
Polished by a creative mind
Yet behind it, the scrawling words--
Bare of imagery; devoid of beauty.

Everything is surreal-
The feeling; the thought
Words drip off yellow pages
I see nothing but stains now.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder
but alas its symmetric that determines
when theres balance of face is the beauty

when theres balance it is beauty yo behold
but when there is a stain there is nothing
but asymmetry shape of stain to behold

maybe i dont see da deeper meaning
but it got ma mind wandering
what is beauty anyway symmetric

reality is asymmetry
in feeling and thought
yet scrawling words

This one hits the reader on an instinctual level, and it probably means something different to everyone who reads it. To me its about reading the words, touching the surface, but not really getting deeper than that. I think this was a really great read.

Brilliant and sharp and completely stunning. I can't wrap my mind around it yet . . . but I will get closer to it. Amazing what we find in our travels through the cafe.

This is a very deep and philosophical write. I like your metaphor of writing with the sword. Indeed, a sword can kill the body but words can cut like a sword and reach deeper to injure the soul and break a heart. Very nicely penned.

Did the pen lose to the sword? Never mind, just a fleeting thought. Your creativeness never seizes to amaze me, and always gives me something to think about. Thank you for sharing.

I found this a powerful description of the harshness of the reality of our situations, of the loss of inspiration and fulfilment that flattens our unquenched desires...

Fidelity to actuality:
A belief to an intuition.
Your mind tells you what should exist
Human as you are.

Exactly, that is why reality is hard to define sometimes cause it can change based on the eye of the beholder... very insightful thinking here.

I despise that moment, but that moment must come. And it always does. This is a very insightful and well-penned piece. It has depth and dispenses a desperate knowledge that we may wish to avoid, but cannot escape. Kudos to you and it is going in my favorites.

Beautiful. Wonderful. Imaginative. Creative. If you can't tell by now, I really liked it. And it's a piece for of original thoughts and ideas. And yeah, brilliant.
