Paradox

I am contradiction incarnate.
Sapphire’s cold blue & hot blood garnet.

Conceived in fire & hewn from ice.
Frothed with anger & soulfully nice.

I bend to kiss every new forehead.
Poised for a gut kick for what is said.

Demanding of all, honesty-wise.
Yet, dare not steal my day-to-day lies.

Surely, I’m glad that I’m what you read.
Still, I’d write; so, I wouldn’t say “need”.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
