The soul of an old poet, with the heart of a 19-year-old.
Age is just a rhythm—   mine syncs to no mortal clock.   I thrum in the hum of streetlamps at 3 a.m.,   in the pause between a crow’s call and its echo,   in the slow unspooling of a handwritten letter   left unsent.   The years? They slip like skipped stones,   but my pulse is a pendulum   swinging between "almost" and "not yet".   I count time in coffee rings on drafts,   in the way silence thickens   before a poem cracks its knuckles   and begins.   Midnight or noon, what’s the difference?   The sun keeps its own council,   and I—I orbit a different light.

The pendulum's pulse
You disappeared, Emotionally -- like a breath -- With no goodbyes; or observable changes You disappeared, Instantly Like life --when death had paid a visit -- your sandalwood scent, Streams of roses, And sweet smiles Simmer in my summer memories.

Vanishing act
There was no one to hear my laments So I told them to the wind The wind told them to the trees The trees fed it to nature And nature understood.

Where my wails went
Black sheep, black sheep. Lucky black sheep. When the wolf comes to hunt, IT COMES AT NIGHT.

Black sheep
What more is there to break?, Once whole I lie now broken to dust dust On shore awaiting the high tide To wash away my remains And spread me upon its surface To be inhaled, when the whales gasp for air, To be devoured, by the fish On their search for moss and plankton And inside them I shall live; multiplied, As I am in your memories.

What more is there to break?
You put me under the most terrible curse and I called it love, I called it care I called it wonderful. I thought you cared and fighting my battles, We groped and kissed We allegedly loved and missed -each other- But now I see that all I could've ever been, Is not the same as what I should be; free. I know I should let you go, but me heart still shivers. You still get to me But for each of my teeth you broke The magic faded eventually, And this was the last strike Farewell lover, farewell love

Cursed Love
I just wanna sit quietly on the terrace alone, And slowly scribble the peace that has come, As silent as the moon on my evening ride home, As calm as a rock that's been washed ashore.

Serenity
Let your ink spill like tears, And pour out your emotions. Let it drip the stories untold, In the most exquisite motions. Weave your characters, Intertwine their Fates. Sew you chapters, With emotional paints. Bind the spine, With the ingredients Of fine wine Then let the reader digest

Weaving the narrative
I'm high on likes and retweets The hearts, and flames and repeats I'm an underachieving overachiever A social media facade I've designed A highlight reel, my life defined But behind the screens, a different tale A search for meaning, a life to hail The validation I seek, a fleeting thrill A moment's high, a lifetime's fulfill I yearn to break free from this digital stage And find my true self, in a real-life page

Digital poetry
Live life for now Multiply yourself into the consciousness of others Intertwine yourself into their memories Bond your fates, Love Before time shrinks our loving spirit into nothingness And all that'll remaining, is a memory And hopefully a smile.
