Paradox Poem by Romeo Della Valle

Paradox



A night warning
As day closes the mortal door
Behind this world
Lies another dreamer’s claim
Beneath the covers!

The sense sleep
While memory and experience
Mingle together like lovers
Recombining one another!
Paradox, therefore,
Is not fantasy or contradiction,
It is the method which ascends
Nature and reason here to bend…

Keeper of immortality,
Are we given this chance
To know that impossibility
Is another human condition?

Now, I ask myself: why riddle?
Maybe because I could never say
Exactly what I mean straightforward
In a world essentially structured
On grounds of paradoxes…
