a hazy perspective and the need for clarity
I have no sense of time, the pride from my accomplishments is as null as the concept of permanence, besides the fog — seeping into my mind as deep as the proverbial soul within me. in the mist of what is left of myself, the only depth i can catch...

Mind like wires
Her mind was beautiful Like wires At the back of those old TVs A riot of colors, ideas criss-crossing Bouncing off one another, melting, melding Beautiful like a rainbow. There was no straight connection To the relay of things, she said. And her face, her face! Varied more constantly than weather patterns Depending on what channel she was on What high! But it was her mind That...

Wings and Wounds
Like birds flying high over the world, Words of love never unheard. Loud voices echo through different phases, No mistakes.., Just choices in these mazes. Walking threads, edge tight like a judge, Told me, “Be strong. Don’t budge.” They speak of light at tunnel's end, But what about the road we defend? The morals we bend, The lives we...

Mixed Emotions Relaxation, serenity of being alone Happiness, like a dog with a bone Shoes off, soft grass on your feet Dreams of the one you long to meet Lay in the grass, look at the sky Life is short, you begin to cry Friends pass away, they leave too soon You are now alone to stare at the moon Grassy meadows, rolling clouds Whispering...

A silent storm is brewing within my chest A benumbing chill sets my soul aflame A warm welcome sets alarm bell ringing, In the realm of hush at the dawn of dusk do you hear the swooshing of the waves on the sandy shore? Do you hear the shush...

The Black Box They came to the house for the wrong reason. In the end… They didn’t care, any address would do, as long as the reports were made, and the numbers taken down before the beginning of the next shift. They came, and they tested and then they required adherence to the law. What law? The one law...

Nebulous Horizon
I told the truth and still, someone bled. Silence would have stitched us shut, a delicate, rose-gold lie— woven into the wallpaper of a bedroom left sketched. I thought I was choosing clarity, but the mirror fogs each morning. Future—blunted, gray— looms like wet brick pavements. No signs, only echoes of footsteps— taunting like the choices I regret. This morning, I climbed the roof before the city stirred. The...

There’s a fire raging in my heart, I feel helpless as I see the world in dire straits and the humanity structure seemed on the point of collapse… A wound that doesn’t get healed A thirst that couldn’t get quenched A desire that couldn’t...

A beautiful lie
I wonder how it truly feels to be loved. Is it like the minutes before the sun rises, when it begins to shine so bright, and you feel its warmth on your skin Like moments you miss the most, filled with the nostalgia of what once had been. Like a scent of flowers leaving its own light, longing...
