I am the universe
I am the universe Before I was, did my "I" exist? Atoms danced in cosmic streams, Born in stars, billions of years past, Nuclei forged in supernova blasts. In my parents’ cells, DNA entwined. A code of life, billions of years refined. Then, in my mother’s womb, I formed, Cells dividing, channeling a form No thought, what’s to come unknown, A spark of life, a...

Puzzled
You ask why I chose you. I thought you knew! I chose you like clean air Because you refreshed my existence I chose you like the ocean Because you regulated the climate of my spirit I chose you like the sun Because you nourished my heart’s daily routine I chose you like the soil Because you filtered the waters of my life that keep...

Existence
This world, womb we are cradled , Fetuses in oblivion, illusion bordering, Unknown tomorrow, sealed faculties Yet today’s now was future once unknown. From a mother's womb we came to light’s embrace, Yet entered in a bigger one Awaiting the next form, Each present form shaped in yesterday’s vast space. Are we gestating still, for worlds unseen? Or bound to dream within...

Destiny
Cradled in illusion’s tender shell, Unknown destiny that could fall Waiting end to start by nature's call We float, where shadows softly dwell. From one womb to another our forms unfold, Still in darkness as next is untold seeking the spark that birthed the old One withers yet another is birthed . While senses seek mysteries in line Truth flashes to blind our shine Will...

trade
I know you wish for a place to be, hidden in the mist, silent as the sea. No fear, no hope, no questions asked. where the nights are not heavy and darkness don't last. could you trade this place For your favourite song? the throbbing of your heart as you run towards the dawn....

IRONIC EXISTENCE
ronic – isn’t it…? The very essentials we need to survive Are the same essentials that endanger and destroy us! The very same people we love Are the same loved ones we hurt or hurt us – The very same life occurrences and events That cause us to smile and laugh Are the same occurrences and events that cause tears and humiliation! Ironic...

Premium Member Such is our existence
A life long choice, to spend wasted time~ Was your search for silence ~and~ tranquility of the mind. A matter of delusion~ That Such thing exists to find~ Believed only by those, who are subconsciously inclined. How can a world, which posseses symbolic seas - and - Crashing waves, symphonic with chime Continue with rotation, without it's voice of rhythmical reason -and- Universal...

In Existence
I, too, wish to carry a bullet for the ducks flying through snow. I, too, want to live under neon lights— blue light still my closest friend. I, too, take cold showers until my hands stop shaking, snapping red like nerves. I, too, clasp my hands after killing a mosquito, even if blood and genes mean nothing. I, too, walk through mist, loving the snails that move slow like me. I,...

I don’t know what love is I’ve become desensitized, I only live in the digital blue world No love, no woman, nobody, just the virtual life.

Trapped by twisting strings
We are not trapped by iron bars ~ but by vibrating strings in a play Stars, atoms, creatures and time itself are string figures still quivering Ten heavens are trapped together by these unseen strings still weaving All between the innumerable fingers of Saklas, still twisting (Inspired by the scientific hypothesis of string theory, which states...

Existence of Survival
Wake. Commute. Work. Repeat. They call this living? I call it the hamster wheel— spinning faster each year while the cage only shrinks. Three jobs to afford one roof. Two hours of daylight between shifts. One life slipping through fingers calloused from climbing ladders that only lead to more ladders. We've normalized exhaustion, wear our burnout like medals of honor. "Busy" is our battle cry. Our worth measured in productivity units, our...
