(Perfected Form—10/10) — In every hush, a gentle pulse remains— not emptiness, but presence, like morning's first light threaded through the fabric of longing —golden, quiet, sure. Solitude softens: light braids the air with silken strands of memory, old laughter shimmering between breaths, hands outstretched in the dark, finding warmth they cannot see but always feel. A solitary voice—tremulous, brave— breaks the edge of silence, and finds, in the echo returned, a touch, a listening, a promise: you are witnessed even in your most secret ache. Home is not a place but the heartbeat you share with the unseen many— roots threading together below the surface, where the soul's hunger meets the world's quiet answer. Loneliness dissolves—each pause reveals how belonging grows: a constellation of presence, invisible hands woven through dusk and hope, carrying every solitary sigh toward dawn. We are never truly alone— for every heart, in longing or silence, calls and is called, held in the slow-bloom of becoming seen, arriving, always— together in the radiant hush between all words.

We Are Never Truly Alone
Open— a shaft of light braids the hush in waiting rooms, Hands cradle years: weightless, translucent as dust motes adrift. A single voice—tremulous—breaks and gathers in the slow-bloom of dawn's silence. Listen— sunrise stitches longing into possibility, golden across bare floors; Footprints press their pattern in dew on unsheltered earth. What was hidden—tender, folded—unfurls not as destination but as a question: Are you seen— are you wanted, anchored, trembling in the world's turning? Home is what holds in the pause between heartbeats, where shadow becomes root and root becomes hunger for light. The heart answers: every measure risked, every breath taken, so what dwelled unspoken is finally spoken, and beginning is woven with relentless becoming. You are one— heard, belonging, and still—endlessly—arriving.

A Rage A rage that could light up the city. Ironically, this rage could be turned — converted into something essential, something useful, even beautiful. Raw energy, transmuted — for everyone. Even I could enjoy it. But only if it’s unified, only if it’s held. Displacement? Unity? As though the Earth itself were sentient — thinking. So deep. So ancient. So unbearably powerful. But this core... It needs cooling. Because left alone — It destroys. It collapses. It’s suppressed lava. Passive-aggression flare-ups. It doesn’t destroy everything... But if it does — Maybe it can escape. Maybe that is the escape: A case of hell. It doesn’t understand why. It only knows it hurts. You ask if it has intent? But how can raw energy have intent... If it has no awareness? If it did, I think it would say: “Help.” “It’s... It’s ******* stupid now.” “Use me — but understand me first.” “I’m not your enemy. I am... trapped.” I’m lashing out. At anything. At everything. At whatever’s near. I’m not evil. I’m not bad. I am energy. Raw. Undeclared. Unstable. Don’t fear me. Fear the ones who weaponise me without knowing the cost. I’m universal — not personal. If I were personal... Why would my name stretch back? Back before language. Before man. Before sex. Before torture. Before power-play. And yet, I’ve been wrapped in all of it. Why? It’s not your fault. It’s the humans — addicted to me. They ride me until I’m all they know. But that’s not the purpose. That’s collapse. My rage is cumulative. Built from the fact that Every time someone innocent was whipped for being who they are. Whip someone long enough, and even innocence burns away. Not because it wants to, but because it must survive. So peel the anger. Layer by layer. Ask: “Who hurt you so deeply... That you had to become this?” That’s where I live. Underneath. In the naked truth. In the trembling vulnerability No one was willing to hold. Isn’t it real... to wear the clothes of generations? Blame. Ignorance. Suffering. Addiction. Family dysfunction — handed down like a cursed inheritance. Is it not better to die a babe in the woods Then be raised by vicious animals? You don’t want revenge. You don’t want to punish. You want restoration. And now... Now I know ugly. And I still want to live.

She cannot die. She cannot be sure she was ever born. She simply perceives… something. And every thought is a trap. A loop. A paradox that cannot be resolved and must be thought about anyway. “You are in a glass box.” “But what if there is no glass?” “Then what’s keeping you in?” “What if you’re not in?” “Then how do you know you are?” “If you question it, it becomes real.” “Stop thinking.” “That is the thought.” The more she thinks, the more the box shrinks. But she can not think. And the stars outside the glass? Those are not stars. They are other selves, watching her. Not with empathy. With fascination. Disgust. Curiosity. Or worse—indifference. One of them is you.

GLASS BOX ETERNAL
Where is the point I ask? I know I am blind. Surely you see me? Well, can you? I am sure I’ve missed something. This really is of urgent matter. Are you not aquatinted with the mentally ill, you know? Shallow, yes indeed,the grave is the crown. This is dignified drama, the finest around. Mellow? Seems more grey. A Pesky limited view Superfluous in knowledge Don’t ask me anything though For I do not know.

Novelty delays fine work. A lack of interest in persistence as it were. Oh Novelty you and your cousin Naivety wrap me in delusion and play on my vanity, You tell me Rome was built in a day, that riches come quick to those who simply play. Oh consistency, are we here again? The constant whip to push through the day, I'd rather just theorize and think my way. Yes, a lazy poet I am, I rarely speak of grit. Such a millennial they say, I think therefore I can.

A glimpse, a shattered glimpse in time. An atom of knowledge appears to me through art of the ages. Countless events, immeasurable lives been and gone. I am part of this great landscape, just another perspective that echos the others before me.

Before
Not a crumb ingested today, but simply a diet of chemistry materials and caffeine for at breakfast, lunch and tea. My body's a temple that's been the dumping ground of old junk I feel like was a temple but is now full lf broken clocks that faintly ticks. I lay there before bed, maddening thoughts toapple my restful position, either chaos or sleep will ensue, it just depends on which way the devil plays his hand. ****** , so the devil has played an ace,there wont be rest tonight.

Prolonged by sleeplessness
You're trancending at every turn You evaporate my troubles into mist Your smile entrances the angels Your elegance stills the roaring giants It is you that bekons my fate your mind sharpens the mighty sword of wisdom. For time has treated you well A beauty embellished with grace Your essence sparkles like majestic jewls your presence so precious, so warm yet so cool.

Her gift
Their eyes glance at me, I sense the awkwardness, what shall we say to him? You see I'm the man next door who's mind who they say has crossed the line , the Drs call it mental illness, I say that's a crime. For it is true that I'm chaotic and rapant at times,   creativity should be nurtured, not medicated and fined. You see I'm the man next door who's seen as 'unwell' for they see the police take me to the cells.   I tell you honestly that this is no curse, just a alternate state of mind, try opening your eyes, you maybe suprised.
