Contradictions

When I think about you
With a level head
(a rare happening)
I find that as far as my eyes go
there is none
friend or foe
who is as special as you.
You can take it as a compliment.
But remember
For me
Its a statement of fact.
(Told you
I’m thinking about you
With a level head)

Let me ask you a puzzle
Tell me who is
strong and delicate
coy and brazen
razor sharp, sponge soft
placid and turbulent
unambitious and aspirant
hard working and lazy
rooted and dreamy
You know the answer
I know it too
the spirit of the word may not capture you
but you are so lovely
that I have no other option but to love you

And this love is as much a mark of my intelligence as of my craziness.
I seek you as much to light my own life as much to ignite yours
