Yin Yang

A Poem by Redboy

Life is a lie

every word

every friend

every smell

every touch

every sound, taste, sight...
a fading memory, an illusion from the start


every means to understand or disprove this...DELUSION


life is pain, life is death



every tight inhale a subtle, yet painful grasp for life

a deep, desperate breath in thinned air

every exhale a false promise

every tic of time, meaningless

life is solitude, a glorified coffin

chained to the self

slavery

life is a bomb threat disguised as a gift

a shady, binding contract with the fine print written in invisible ink

a warm cozy fire place...that burns the house down to the ground

a joke, that robs you of the laugh

ignorance... plain and simple

I AM ILLUSION

i know everything i need to know

this is clear now

why did i come here?

life is...unbearable

life.. is fantasy

every smell

every touch

every sound, taste, sight, a vivid frame on the ever changing screen of vibration


every attempt to fully understanding this through words and concepts...ATTACHMENT

life is birth, life is bliss

space, light, love
 
every exhale a gentle, but exhilarating RIDE on the hum of exising
 
every inhale charged with suspense

a slow and steady drift on the eternal stream of beautiful now

life is a union, a harmony of the unique

life is freedom to explore yourself, your path

life is an adventure disguised as a challenge

a growing space, with surprise around all corners

an intense lightning storm, that nourishes the soil and crops

life is dust in the wind, that is the breath of god

The  manipulation of a small universe in the palm of your hands, that you perceive as one whole

and the manipulation of your universe in the palm of gods hand as one whole, that you perceive as many

it is...a masterpiece


...that brings tears

the one contains the many the many contains the one

the wrong answers are right, the right answers are wrong

contemplation in it's purest form

the now is nostalgic

I AM ..SENSATION

but fundamentally i am just...i

i can't conceive of the mystery of this life

it is indescribable

i never want to leave this space

"life" is... just a word

beautiful man, truely. I love this type of writing, simple because it is so honest and heartfelt. This is why I write poetry, to push the envelop, and I know (well atleast for me) that everytime i try to do that people will not follow to that style with me, but this man is breathtaking. "life is a bomb threat diguised as a gift". Incredible.

Alright, this is truly one of the best pieces I have read from you and here in general.
This was both carefully thought out and crafted and it shows.

Just a fantastic job! :)

i must say, the amount of emotions and thoughts contemplated are huge and darkly vigilante!
but ive never found pleasure in the absence of rhyme or flow, mostly both combined! still a very heartfelt piece,while this genre of writing is given to as poetry perhaps, or whatever it is, you've done a good job!

You couldn't title this in any better way!
you have such a strong outlook on life and I relate only too well,
It is written so beautifully blunt making it picture clear.

Big ups on the ending, Subscribed.

plenty of deep, sensational assertions. you seem to tackle numerous challenges imaginatively through some biting sentences( gutsy cynnicism) in the first half - so many different approaches to -life's meanings, conveyed here, which do change daily with each new endevour...and then a shift in karma, fitting elegantly with the yin yang philosophies. I enjoyed, thanks.

Thats why charles Darwin said "life is a real struggle to survive you have to be extra fit and strong.I like this the lies about life,i like the pain it brings n the suprises.i think thats wat makes it fun and worth strugglin to survive.
am not trying to oppose you am just speaking my mind.
its a cool poem tho.
