[502] The End of A Recurring End

The world of me ⁣⁣is still being born⁣⁣Stillborn ideas ⁣⁣and a guilty bond⁣⁣My tragedy is visible ⁣⁣only to those who⁣⁣come alive in the⁣⁣the absence⁣⁣of chaos ⁣⁣while its cunning children⁣⁣wreck havoc in me with ⁣⁣a smile⁣⁣⁣⁣I never live an ideal day⁣⁣yet its hope kills me every day⁣⁣I always wind up waiting for her⁣⁣even if her wings [...]

[501] Fade In

[501] Fade In

Time will go on ⁣I will slip through its cracks⁣Have premonitions to disobey⁣An eternity to disarray⁣A calling to naturally delay⁣⁣I will lie under the stars⁣You will move on⁣agape at my lack of mobility⁣aghast at my mood so bittersweet⁣A constant abeyance to reality⁣⁣We will disintegrate⁣Dismayed at our decay⁣Our immortalisation in words⁣are meant to fade away⁣We are [...]

[500] Becoming A Mirage

My body carries your words still⁣⁣⁣under the burial of daily living⁣⁣⁣Sensory overload to forget that⁣⁣⁣you still hold the power to⁣⁣⁣cause ripples in my still water mind⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Do you remember that day ⁣⁣⁣when the sun failed to settle down⁣⁣⁣so as to not take away your light⁣⁣⁣and then we slipped into a shared dream⁣⁣⁣that unravelled into a nightmare [...]

[499] In The Matrix

You recognise in others⁣⁣what you cannot seem to⁣⁣recognise in yourself⁣⁣To forget their stories⁣⁣so you can live in ⁣⁣your eternal present⁣⁣where the world is ⁣⁣a status quo of ⁣⁣facing your reality⁣⁣and failing each day⁣⁣⁣⁣(𝘪 𝘵 𝘳 𝘺⁣⁣𝘢𝘯𝘥 ⁣⁣𝘪 𝘧 𝘢 𝘪 𝘭 )⁣⁣⁣⁣A modern tragedy⁣⁣of dopamine numbness⁣⁣of stimuli so morbid⁣⁣I start my sentences with⁣⁣‘The machine and [...]

[498] Hide From The World

Let me inside⁣⁣⁣into your raging ⁣⁣⁣purple dreams⁣⁣⁣Mirrorless reveries⁣⁣⁣of your discreet little side you hide⁣⁣⁣Walk me in when it is⁣⁣⁣about a rose petal about to fall ⁣⁣⁣about a moon crescent ⁣⁣caught⁣in a slipstream of clouds⁣⁣⁣so you catch your breath ⁣⁣⁣inside your waning soul⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣You realise that the world⁣⁣⁣realises you⁣⁣⁣but the mist hides⁣⁣⁣the city you’re from and ⁣⁣⁣from [...]

[497] Images of the Mind

My internal images have⁣⁣become black holes and⁣⁣fractal shapes of the dark⁣⁣Bare thoughts of bare bones⁣⁣blocks all the weary souls⁣⁣But dawn comes to lift me up⁣⁣And the light finally sets me free in sleep⁣⁣⁣⁣The dreary Sundays and evening haze⁣⁣a broken path and internal rage⁣⁣Fading sense of self, state of flow⁣⁣Words that sow, images of an ideal [...]

[495] Life Is Not The Same

I live a fictional life of self-examination⁣and an attempt to personify wind in my steps⁣Futile ends of euphoria and its eternal chase⁣To forget the ends but remember the epiphanies⁣A glimpse of the flight about to end⁣I remember to be unafraid of the fall this time⁣and focus on the journey from ⁣where I was to where [...]

[494] The Middle of Extremes

Perhaps you will find me when I am lost⁣⁣⁣Perhaps you will lose yourself in the process⁣⁣⁣Maybe the quiet will deafen your senses⁣⁣⁣Maybe the rhymes will give you the peace you require⁣⁣⁣This exile of feeling feelings has gone on for too long⁣⁣⁣You live, perhaps, in all the maybe’s of your head⁣⁣⁣The vague anxiety halts time in [...]

[493] Rebooting My System

Blank slate morningMeditating upon silenceIt all begins hereThe birth of chaos or blissHe who asks for controlonly realises the truthwhen it’s all going downhillShe who becomes shapeless inher perception can only conquerthe hold of feelings on herwhen she conquers knowing herselfIt all ends here —- Art by Moebius

[492] Yesterday In Search For Tomorrow

My words exist for another time⁣They’re born with accumulated dust⁣They die with my first cry⁣They are trapped in reflection ⁣of all that I cannot create⁣It is adorned with jewels⁣of all that I cannot hear⁣⁣Skies become dim⁣Lands part in wait⁣Kings recognise their sacrifices⁣Queens fly in their dreams⁣The past I was never a part of⁣feels more real [...]
