Inhaltsangabe

"This book is a unique blend of poetry and prose written in a way that reflects the author's attempt to create an environment where his life experiences and education coexist. Where his personal feelings and life events, mathematics, physics, and art, come together to produce a book unlike any other. The book consists of 28 pieces and each one includes one or two paintings or photos, which reflect the desires, emotions, humor, and other strong feelings of the poem or story. This is a book where randomness and reason emerge as part of the world we leave in." SAMPLE POEM: ODE TO AN IDENTICAL TWIN The softer and the harder The sensitive and the indifferent The emotional and the reasonable The calm and the upset The poet and the writer The weaker and the stronger The unlucky and the lucky I cheated you I took more And you were left with less You were the weaker I was the stronger I cheated you But you never complained Because you loved me Even a small uphill creates a noticeable wind How then can I not notice you? Fading face Eyes drifting into the darkness of future Come find me you say I will wait for you, you say You took the moon away And now it's always dark at night A rainbow missing one color You touch me and I feel I exist I want you back Just for a second A second Too much to ask? Parallel love Infinite the distance But for one moment I wish You cross to my universe And touch me Just for the smallest unit of time Whatever that is I dance for you A zeibekiko In the space-time floor You in some other universe Suspended in time Looking at me through our photo together Laughing at my style Because I want to be funny To make you smile In that parallel line Which will never meet my line But really who cares? We are very close parallels We live for ever Passing from universe to universe And are together In every dream
