The Day and The Night

(For D. - Thank you!)

You've never said
“goodbye” to me.

You've never let me
close my eyes and make all go away.

You've knelt and touched
my ugly scars.

You've screamed at me
“Come back and fight!”

Infinitely I am destroying
and infinitely you are recreating back the world.

You are the Day, I am the Night –
always next to each other, always in love.

Imperfect By Design


Into one’s seemingly 
all satisfying, pleasing, inter-connected living,
momentarily is all satisfaction, 
monochrome and introverted are the days.

Sometimes it is but one spark 
that takes to burst one’s world
into creative flames 
and change it.

And sometimes,
looking back into one’s world in flames,
is when one fails to realize
that Ignorance is married to the Rigidity of Mind.

Why one is in the habit of perpetual self persuasion -
“something very basic in the world, 
fundamental is so very wrong, 
so brutally non-divine?”

How one is capable of comprehending 
and pursuing the divine perfection 
in spite of imperfection of the flash 
limitations of the mind and the transgression of the soul?

Is it by looking up 
in moments one seeks more light 
on one’s back, when beaten and alone, 
one realizes - imperfections were encoded by design?
