soul lost then foundscriptures affirm our soul exists
where then is its abode
engulfed by angst, deep doubt persists
heart bears a heavy load
when light pays homage to darkness
mind conjures fear demons
bemused by illusions we drown
till rescued by silence
sans thought, our wayward ego dies
thoughts fade we yet remain
betwixt bliss beats, soul presence sighs
grace falls down like light rain

Road To Rock BottomRock bottom is a dark lonely place
One people will pray to never see
It's overflowing with the lowest lows
Reminding you of a life full of misery
The select few who are exiled there
Forced to travel God's forsaken road alone
With potholes of pain and lanes of loneliness
This road is where desperation is...

LostIn you, I lost. I lost a lot. Somehow, in you, I lost you. I lost my virtue, my dignity, my sense of self. I lost everything I ever knew. My feelings were absent. My heart melted into oblivion. My smile vanished. The lights went out on my world. Everything was dark and gray. It...

Forest of Lost Dreams Felled
I wandered through the forest felled.
Its stumps arrayed as scars.
Its bird song larks forever quelled,
to axed-silent memoirs.
Remnants of trees are now a maze,
traced by entrails of mists
Curling up as veils between leaves,
that once held memories.
The moon's face shunned turned away shamed.
The wind scurried around,
the graves of trees blatantly maimed,
through paths no feet felt ground.
The forest...

I Ruined UsI ruined what we had
With my mincing words misplaced,
Words that made you mad
With a feeling as though also disgraced.
I ruined what we were
With things in which we never concurred,
Things I was just unsure
Of whether it is my path that has occurred.
I ruined our bond
With feelings long suppressed,
Feelings as shallow as a pond,
In which I drowned...

Know Me, No MeYou don’t know me
You don’t know me
You believe you do
You don’t know me
You say that’s not true
You don’t know me
I hardly know myself
You don’t know me
I barely hold myself together
You don’t know me
I don’t know whether
You don’t know me
I walk the night
Can you even see me
I scream through the fright
Do you even hear me
Or I...

Where the Thorns Remember MeDate: June 17, 2025
I wandered through a bleeding dusk,
the wind forgot my name.
A rose was growing from the dust—
I reached, and it became
the fog that hums like swallowed screams.
My lungs forget to breathe.
I taste old blood beneath my tongue.
Each petal cuts me in my sleep—
what did I dare believe?
Each step I took was stitched with...

Lost and Found
The path I knew has faded far,
A stranger now am I,
Beneath a cold and distant star,
I watch the moments fly.
A whispered name, carried on a wind that remembers more than I do.
The familiar scent of rain, now a forgotten melody in a silent song.
Fragments of laughter, once so clear,
now just echoes in...

Echoes lost in foreverWhat if
The echoes- ricocheting off
The mountain walls
Were just a voice
Stuck there for infinity
A voice trapped
Into the tangle of forever
Cursed to repeat
Whatever noise that is made
No feelings
No meanings
Just the sound,
Endlessly replaying
Till it stops
Yet never answering

GhostWhere Am I? It's dark.
Rain? No Its tears.
Help me I'm afraid.
Hello is anyone here?
Why can't I see you?
the nightmare won't stop.
I reach out to the skies.
The wind pushed me off.
I can't stop falling.
The water below catch me.
I am suffocating hear me.
Listen to my screams pour out.
The fire is burning me?
Who am I?
So why can't...

Under the sky where stars entwine with the shadows of lost daysUnder the sky where stars entwine with the shadows of lost days, when sanctity becomes an echo fading slowly,
we bear the burden of time like a heavy cloak of lead, while madmen escape from the prisons of their own minds,
entering social fields like wild storms, their shadows darkening the sky with whispers that God has...

My feelings froze.
Pallid petals drooped

The Grace of LostThe path I knew is overgrown,
Its signs have slipped from view.
The stars I charted once have flown—
The sky feels false and blue.
No echoes answer.
Even my shadow forgets
what shape I used to grab.
I speak, but the world unlearns my voice.
The compass spins in trembled hands,
Its needle blind with fear.
No flame responds to my commands—
The cold is...

showing the safest way,
I'd still walk through the dark
with just a match.
If that's the path that leads to,
