A walking paradox
That is who I am
With a fiery passion that blazes within me
That shines through the darkness
A fire that burns me inside

But alas, that fire meets it's counterpart
The cold, dark ice that freezes from inside my soul
The icy storm that roars in my eyes
So cold and dead
This ice freezes my blood

My life is but a paradox
With two at war
The flaming passion that drives me forward
And the cold ice that freezes me in the past

When passion and hate clash within a soul
What is to be expected?
A burning inferno of passion?
That sets the world ablaze
Or a cold storm that wrecks havoc and chaos?
That freezes all in its path?

My life is but a paradox
I try to move forward
But I'm too lost in the past to make any progress

As fire and ice clash,
These cold eyes see all
This burning heart feels all
Which is stronger?
The burning will to live?
Or the cold, analytical desire for destruction?
This is my living Paradox
~
he who is a little ahead of his time
whose treasures of the words random
romanticism is in the blood, marrow,
his mood is as the autumn clouds

he who has lost his path within path
drowning with dreams, sunk you within dreams  
again holds thousands of lost dreams
fly the colorful kites in the blue sky

he who hide within himself
**** in his naked poetry
In forms humorous,harmonic  
as a portrait of the Vincent's starry night

he is a pilgrim who has lost himself within spirituality  
holds everything with the love  
who is for everybody so everybody is for him
But in fact there is nothing in all his

he who is simple straight as the waterfall
when in complex grew hard stone
who broke rules for building rules,
knows himself within the other life

whose words never be end
again he moves on and on
who laughs in the moonlight
again swept in pain without thinking any gain

who looks the life
as a grain of sand
and see the sign of love
in the footprint of a fossil

he who is a poet -

I'm lost
I can't find the road
I can't find the right one

I slip every now and then
But to their eyes it's all too dangerous
I'm not perfect they tell me,
Yet they expect so much from me
As did my brothers
My mother
My friends
And everyone else

It's a headache and I slip just once
My guilt, nothing compared to the disappointment in their eyes;
Sometimes we just need to cry
Nothing wrong with being human
I just slipped

I made a mistake, so please forgive me
But I slipped
I bled
I cried
I'm sorry

With every step I take
Pain floods through me
This lonely road that I walk
One that is full of pain and sorrow

The dark night cloaks me from the world
No one to help
No one to see me cry

I keep on walking on this painful road,
Hoping to come to its end

Hours and hours
Still in the dark I am...
1, 2, 3...
The sky starts to change
4, 5, 6...
The pain seems to ease
7, 8, 9...
I've reached the end

I've lost that innocent spark
Lost that light I once had
I've grown cold to the touch
Grown dead inside

Faces forever imprinted on my heart
Friends forever holding a spot in my life
They witnessed tears and smiles
Gave birth to friendship and love
Their words forever touching my soul
Their names never forgotten
Their love never lost
Always will love them
The bestest of my friends

I'm an aged bitter heart
Inside the youthful prison that's my life
Living a life that's not truly there
Wishing for cure to end my poisonous pain
