Delight in illuminated darkness
Towers all occult visibleness!
We hear not listen
See but don’t envision!
Hurry without hasten
Brilliance minus glisten!
Pleasure is punctual pain
Rhapsody in bleeding vein!
Joy is generous grief
Punditry in brief!
Agony in elation
Flight on cloud nine!
Deafening silence
Aids hearing in essence!
Bolt from blue
Nonsticky glue!
.
Giving [read emptying] is getting
Free space [read peace] spilling!
Muteness of silence
Exuberates ado in abundance!
Gulping gala fasting
Savoring minus calorie feasting!
Knowledgeable idiocy
Wisdomful proxy!
Orgasm in frigidity
Like turgidity in aridity!
Scorching sun in solar eclipse
Sun tanning in clothed striptease
Basking crispy bun from fridge!
.
Blinding lux
In darkness efflux!
Inertic momentum
Is speedy stagnation!
Life is quick sand
Bedecked grave la grand!
Stay calmly active
Without being proactive!
Stay actively calm
Zero all er uh um!
.

Glossary: Humbly given for what I tried to express: ~
[1] Oxymoron: Conjoining contradictory terms
[2] On cloud nine: Extremely joyful
[3] La: The purpose is just to juice up sentences and to make their sentences sound more Chinese
[4] Er, uh, um: Expression of hesitation.

'We hear not listen See but don’t envision! ' aptly said, excellent poem
Great poet John Knight is sufficient I think for such creation, but one thing I want to add with the whole....LIVING CALLOUSLY / WITHOUT LOVING THE LIFE....perhaps it is called the induction effect (applied in the field of science) of a poem to the time for another to creat more........ Beautiful and magnificent with Highest vote from my side. Regards, pranab 10+++
