Montagues and Capulets.
Both are ever-present in my mind, heart, and soul.
Montagues -
Logical, protective, defensive.
Capulets -
Whistful, flowing, accepting.
One cannot exist without the other.
One is not safe without the other.
You see, the Capulets cannot live in this cruel world without protection
And the Montagues cannot enjoy this world without whimsy.
They have frequently been waging war on my soul.
Montagues want distance, foundation, and steadiness.
Capulets want closeness, falling, and cravings.
One cannot exist without the other, unless they are utterly miserable.
The mediator has vanished.
An uncomfortable spot to be, between the two dueling families.
Both believe they know what's best.
And what's at stake?
My heart, she shifts from ice cold to melted in a matter of seconds.
I cannot be the one who makes the choice and chooses a side.
Both are valuable.
"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood."

What is one is itself
but if you know someone else
you are partly also that person
you are also what was different
until that moment
And you observe that, it dawns
on you and you grow
That's interesting, we repeat it
in stories about people
and the gods they imagine:
the more souls, the merrier and the more
humor thanks to the differences
And the trick is to learn
to see that everyone is everything
Therefore, yes therefore there was
a feast in heaven for the wicked sons
at the end of their tumultuous lives
while the good sons
were taken to hell
And the supreme god laughed
at their illusions

like yin and yang
we are completely different
but one in the same

The stairs to this tower…
I climb like playing the cords of harmony
Stare at this power of rhyme,
like the pain and thought
between my Mom and me
a Drop of a coin and it’s hard to bring
I’m a drop of the soil with a Heart made of string
No Musician, no Entertainer…
Life’s not wrapped in ribbons
Just precision, no ignoramus lines rapped
Good riddance!

light dark bright black white,
the yin and the yang of time;
morning, day then night.
