One must appreciate life's little ironies, even at one's own expense.
-Sol Luckman


Irony of ironies.. I have some irony. But I have more paradox.
-L. Miranda


There is no paradox. there is only irony.
-Philip Jason





PARADOX
~AFA

The paradox of myself
The longing yet escape
The desire yet the denial
Love and hate in harmony

It is a lie though
But it is also the truth
So which is true?
What conclusion do I have?

So much waiting
So much longing
More denial
More escape

Running away yet never moving
Moving forward while looking back
To hold on yet to let go
To smile yet grieve

I hope but I fear
I have faith but I doubt
Love has become blurry
Uncertainties cloud the heart

Until when can the chamber take?
Until when can it give without pain?
Until when will it live?
Will metamorphosis take place?

Hiding in plain sight
Showing with all silence
Speaking without voice
Watching from afar

What can make mind believe?
What can capture the soul?
What can make heart yield?
What can hold the body?

The desire and longing
The waiting and patience
The giving and generosity
The love and affection

The yin and yang of life
The joy and pain of soul
The life and death of spirit
The strength and weakness of body

Life is a journey
Soul is always on a voyage
Some things have to be simple
Let go of all the complex thoughts
