    [569] Western Disturbances

    The mountain he left was green⁣Eyes closed, he stills into the night⁣Dissolving into earth, unseen⁣He connects to the light inside⁣⁣The world he left, flowers mid-bloom⁣a sparrow mid-song, a leaf mid-fall⁣He felt it in the earth’s womb⁣The world rewriting its own laws⁣⁣A cold breath rises on the summit⁣But his soul was out of his body⁣The temperature…

    [563] The Stranger Who Wore My Face

    I fed the fireplace until it learned my name⁣and what was left called itself free⁣⁣I searched for truth in every conversation⁣but found only the weight of my own listening⁣⁣my ears rang with every falsity I’d heard⁣until silence became the only tongue I trusted⁣⁣but even silence has an expiry date⁣and solitude began knocking from within⁣⁣I opened…

    [487] Lessons Learned

    All that remains ⁣⁣is a folk tale misremembered⁣⁣the dust accumulated ⁣⁣amidst the ruins of all that became⁣⁣All that survives ⁣⁣is a feeling gone by ⁣⁣in the form of a song⁣⁣of lyrical lies⁣⁣⁣⁣A knife isn’t as sharp ⁣⁣as the silence tonight⁣⁣A fly on the wall ⁣⁣is disturbed at its might⁣⁣The bird’s eye view ⁣⁣is a reminder…

    [479] The River of Silence

    If you’re asking for a lot from the world⁣It’ll always take what you think is yours⁣Until you realise what you thought⁣wasn’t what you ever possessed⁣Even thoughts become meaningless⁣in the river of emotions and epiphanies⁣When the current of that river is rapid⁣you still lose some of it while trying⁣to capture it in the web of thoughts⁣⁣Ashes…

    [476] Follow Your Advice

    Catching the impurity as it⁣⁣leaves my lips in anger ⁣⁣All the words I tried not to say⁣⁣cascade with a waterfall impact⁣The worries are in a hurry to ⁣⁣get out rather than being felt⁣⁣⁣⁣I am the hypocrite I fight against⁣⁣⁣⁣The euphoria of a breakthrough is short-lived⁣⁣The survival of a gentle feeling drizzles⁣but it vanishes at the…

    [468] The Beginnings That Never Begin

    Light trapped in the shadow⁣or you in my mind⁣My mind stutters⁣when it falls in love⁣Severed connection ⁣with my soul⁣Reality shapeshifts ⁣resembling autumn ⁣leaves in spring⁣⁣My feelings for you⁣are found underwater⁣drowning under the weight⁣of my inflated ego⁣Your spell doesn’t work⁣in a magic less place⁣A silent escape ⁣the only thought in my mind⁣⁣Who would have thought⁣silence breaks…

    Neither here ⁣nor here ⁣I find myself in the ⁣middle of my somewhere or⁣to the left of your nowhere⁣I colour the continuums ⁣of all of our paradoxical extremes⁣and sink into complexity ⁣failing to understand ⁣the many versions of me⁣⁣Time rusts and comes to a crawl⁣when we age with the dust of our land⁣Kind souls offer…

    Lonesome connections ⁣Surviving predilections ⁣Realisations of the source ⁣of my waning willpower⁣The mind begets peace⁣when the body begets pain ⁣The circle is fulfilled ⁣with the end calling for ⁣a new beginning⁣⁣Bustling connections ⁣of the self-aware plight⁣Ignored truth always⁣finds a way to shine ⁣When words become means ⁣to divert our attention ⁣Just know that we have…

    Curiosity to see if jealousy persists⁣If we’re really talking truth⁣you wanted to see ⁣if our love really persistsMy stoic statue emotions ⁣do not work with you⁣If I really had the chance⁣I’d let you know of tidal wave emotions⁣that you can bring to me⁣ andI can bring to you⁣I realise your hidden mysteriesa reread of Thoreau…
