The fire of love dims in every roomwhere the cost of living drowns the heart.Thought does not countwhen the gift of action goes astray.Tranquillity is never enoughwhen the next step demands a chase.What is ever enough?I ask that question every day.I walk away from the trees,their branches reaching out like memory.I run from the missteps…

A gentle ghost drifts behind the clouds,waking from its slumber in the nightThe moon’s fable whispers an eternal taleof guarding the shoresfrom the ocean’s rageBut when the sun claims the stage,it slips behind the curtain,yet remains,a hidden storytellerfor those who choose to look,and to listen.It murmurs:“Everything you knowcarries another truth,quietly glowing,lingering at the edges of…

Today, I saw a tree have an accidentIts windshield broken by a falling objectYet it remains living amidst the progressToday, I saw a tree have an accidentIt didn’t move, it didn’t scream, it didn’t honkOnly stood, only rooted, only breathing.Today, I spoke to a treeIt invited me to restWhispering to hang in thereIt asked me…

Confusion jets its way into my veinsA task met with resistance through intellectIt fails to clear it So I ask the intuition in me to guideIt looks at imagesA broken finger, a scattered mindA soul of delusion, no peace insideA broken finger fails to writeBut it serves as a reminderAs the passion to make sense…

Are ten seconds enough to change the mind?Ten seconds at the edge of chaos,ten seconds where order unravels,ten seconds where the human storm begins.A reel flickers answers,but the question still burns:Can you embody wisdom in seconds?Are ten seconds enough to change the body?Ten seconds to forget the slow work of process,ten seconds to drink wisdom…

“You have been silent for too long.Tell me a tale.So much time spent in solitude—In living, in limbo, and in not living at all.You must have a story to tell,Emotions to make me feel,Thoughts that made their wayTo epiphany.”I have been holding a thread on two ends,pulled by fate and fear,ensuring it doesn’t breakunder the…

I wash up on the shore of Tomorrow Island,Sun yet to riseCan I skip the worst parts?Could I?

In one sweeping gazeYou can tear it all apartSlippages of my past cut through my stoic civil warIt beats another life to unearth my anxietiesYet it remains invisible, omnipresentMy blindspots become the battlefield ofthe paradoxical dance of my intrusive fearsIt doesn’t make sense to live a lie of purity I suffer rhythmically and make a…
