Blind One’s Duality

I want to feel the lowest of lows

So I can feel the highest of highs

I don’t want to live a monotone life

Barely a ripple

Give me a riptide

Of emotions

And experiences too

The swell and crash

Finding the beauty in them both

The tragedy and comedy that is life

It’s why I laugh and cry most of the time

Insatiable isn’t so bad

Contentedness is too close to death

I’m a hurricane

And you’re sunbathing on the beach

Mindless and oblivious to this depth

I have an endless churning inside me

A call of nature a call of earth

A call from the never ending vast universe

My souls on fire I’m like an oil mound

No amount of earth or wind or water

Will put me out

I’ll just burn brighter and bigger too

Most people turn away

They can’t handle the heat of my truth

I’ve tried to be less than but that just won’t do

It’s impossible for me to be untrue

And I must stay true for both me and you

Just as you should do

I’m an earthquake and an avalanche too

I don’t come in small doses

I consume all of you

Like a black hole another dimension

I won’t kill you just give birth to higher intentions
