He doesn’t mind the silence now— perhaps it brings him peace. My absence doesn’t trouble him; maybe my presence never meant a thing. He is fine, while tears streak my cheeks like rain on glass. He is fine, while my heart fractures quietly beneath the weight. He breathes with ease, while I struggle just to catch mine. I don’t know what changed. I...

Here I walk spraying weeds In the afternoon light Who but me could walk away In a moral strife, Kill one to save one, But killing’s wrong were told, But if we don’t involve ourselves The other’s death is foretold. This is life, there’s a lesson there About letting life unfold, But there are streaks down my sleeve For upon it my heart I...

A timestorm brews not in the sky, But in the folds where moments lie. Where seconds scatter like broken glass, And futures drip, from which they pass. No lightning—just clocks that scream, As space folds inward, a chasing dream. Rain that recalls, what wind forgets worlds shape in, as time dilates In this phantom, dream-stalked sky The long...

Verse 1 Two Thousand Years, we pled our case With weapons stained, in dripping blood, Not communicating, face to face All our reasons, as clear as mud, Refrain: So many wars, so many years, Same old reasons, same old fears, To the farthest corners, the battle nears We’re all still fighting, Two Thousand Years. Verse 2 They are the devil, you must...

A gentle slope, green fields, those big dewy eyes, and that gentle, wet breath. I don't know what beauty is, but I believe if anything, it would be this. As I watch brass play for you, and you gather gently to listen, enjoying it fully, but respecting from a distance. I don't know what love is, but I believe if anything, it...

As I scroll through my gallery, deleting the junk, clearing the mess, I should feel lighter- but then, there you are. A picture I thought was gone, a memory I swore I erased Yet, here it stands, defiant, like a ghost refusing to fade. I thought I had learned to live without you, thought time had stitched the gaps. But in one breath, one...

I saw spring rain at the end of March. It drizzled as it was partly cloudy, Sparkling in periods of angelic light. It all seemed so much more heavenly Beaming below the ominous darkness. Mountains of mighty clouds turned, Rolling in the vast blue firmament, Building up in the horizon by dusk, To hold a majestic double rainbow. It resonated to the...

I am a speck On the time line Never the ace in the deck This world is not mine I live now Later I lived never To time I am forced to bow Probably forever For I am not I am the thing you forgot Said you miss me a lot I believe it not For we are temporary Perhaps even imaginary But I lust so very To imprint on the...

This will be the last day, so shed all the tears. All the tears you've held on for so long. This will be the last day, so listen to all the painful songs, ensuring rivers in your heart don't meander. Stay up late for the last time tonight, for you will only see early mornings and evenings from tomorrow. Pity yourself, pat yourself, console...

As I stroll through the park, mindlessly, I see a child swing his backpack, hopping toward the swings, light and free. Behind him, his mother follows, matching his eager steps. He suddenly stops, his gaze fixed— not on the boy soaring high, feet kicking the sky in joy, but on the father behind him, hands steady, laughter echoing, as a mother...
