my dear friend, (psychosis), elusive, elusive, elusive you are. writing about you with a cloudy mind is the best state one can reach. i relish it, i bask in the waters of emotions, for i don't know what else to know. i stumble in the path that is given to me; for its not a path—its hell's road. i try to to uplift myself and yet how can one go upwards, when one is stuck in the deepest levels of the earth. i suffocate on my own fumes, for i can't get rid of them and they consume me whole. whole and whole i am drowned deeper than the waters imaginable, as the levels no longer make sense. i am bestowed the greatest gift of humanity— of one's knowledge: and what do i do with this knowledge? i rebel! i rebel against everyone! i rebel against the system! i rebel against my family! i rebel against myself. for i don't know what to do with my mere flesh anymore— the body is sacrifices to the gods of divine state. hell! i scream, i cry, i ravish, i tear at myself, for i can't hold it all together anymore. and what is holding yourself together is? is it the state that is commonplace to me? for what i realised that my sufferance is normalcy, that i pay no heed to. endless sleep seems all the more alluring. and yet! and yet! and yet! something stops my hand. what is it? dignity? liveness? love? like something chocking my hands from actions. madness unfolded like a red carpet once again, put out plain and clear, just take a step. you know the road like your own five fingers, but you are unfamiliar, for the instructions are unclear. what instructions?! shallow, shallow things are those, chaos, chaos is what drives you. you can't live without grandiose happening, for it feeds you like a starved stray dog, desperate, gnawing at the thin bare bones. you wish that state in psychology of the mind, you want to be big and mighty, the state altered and changed to the levels unimaginable, where i am the king of the world just at the snap of the fingers: tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

clock toils its time—it's time for life, life's most perilous grand journey. the snake tightens its grip around his neck, as he surfaces from bathtub's shallow water, for it's not drowning that is his demise, no—it's air's extinction. the snake coils itself around his head, like a crown, gifting him sleepless nights, full of waking man's nightmares: the bottle's shards in the heart, rejection's painful strikes deep in his mind. his end begins with lack of every thing imaginable: energy, strength, desire, happiness, hope, love. like a ghost living amidst us, a mere shell of what is left of him. day and night—a struggle—as his will leaves him bit by bit. amidst the pendulum stands snake's poison— so elusive and so dear. it's incredible how much he chases the high, finding solace in its terrible embrace. his beginning ends with persecution. endless stories told by hidden messages. madness unfolded, spread and laid out like a path, that he takes as soon as no-one's in sight. and what is left of life's time? gone, gone are the stars.

stars gone
soft breath on my skin with little kisses follows the path of my veins and meets the crossroad to stop at my heart, fluttering fiery and fast blood, hot and thick, drips down the petals her smile makes me skip a beat but what is another heartbeat with you? —to rest in your hands forever an eye among the leaves, shimmering among sunbeams to look in your soul is to fall for eternity but what is an eternity with you? —to find warm love in your gaze night’s veil falls and the flower drowns winter’s chill finds its way between our embrace wills to cool our hearts, to put out our flame or to spark it all the more? fire consumes me, for my body to meet the earth’s depths and i burn, i burn… you kiss my scarred hands tender, slow, healing the blossom opens, water droplets singing she is like a waterfall—so deadly yet so beautiful cools in parching heat yet takes away your last breath peaceful yet chaos rides its stream no man’s place to tame with her hand she cools me, washes off the pain her soft lips meet mine to forget life her voice to cure worries of mind her smell to be at blissful peace her raven hair and eyes of wood with every mark on her body skin against skin sunshine glows inside my rib cage the dark side of the moon met sunlight and never turned away for to be sun-kissed is to be a lost lotus rising from dark waters at sun’s first touch

wheat leaves rustle in gleaming sunset, air saturated with aromas. deadly silence. blood on sunflowers. she steps, slow shadow, hand stretched—black soil’s blessing. poppies in the skull. cracks on bones. night falls, hugging trees: dark forest luring. will you come back— will we see each other again— infinity of void ***** in all life, never to let go, never to be free, never to see. smoke clouds vision, explosions deafening. restless sleep. restless death. why is it happening—child’s voice, old life lost in screams. all fairness abandoned— devoid of justice. viburnum glows in the rising sun, red cherries bursting with fleshly remnants. white walls, straw roofs aged with soot. her voice loud and clear— song of the river’s stream: waters of memories of the past growing in strength to consume all that remains. life’s birth. hope grows. a fallen seed, covered in frost.

діти війни
you got a hook in my heart, and i am trapped, letting you pull me in closer and closer, till you got me whole and raw. you ask my heart, “what do you say?” beat-beat, you got a hold of me, beat-beat, i complete your will, replies it. you look into my eyes, and i am weak, losing myself in their depth, falling and falling, never hitting the bottom. you ask my eyes, “what do you hide?” your gaze full of warmth, fiery sparkle— a challenge, as you undress my feelings— i hide my passion, they reply. you pull me in further, stronger, surely; hands weaning the string of attachment, as i near the surface and gasp for air, reaching your stretched hand— softness, tenderness spins my head— my body, my traitor, as my feet buckle, only to see myself in your embrace.

fish in the water
on the morning day of summer he knew. he knew he loved her. on the chilling windy day of late fall he asked her on a date. they held hands, making way through the crowd. lights and sparkles of christmas eve, the hum of people amidst festivities, warm cups of chocolate passed between each other. the dots of the night city reflecting in their eyes as they smile in fear of anticipation. on the warm spring day full of sun they shared proximity among their hearts, waking deep attachment that would bind them for days and weeks and months to come, being steered to their ultimate fall. meanwhile, puffing the smoke of hope for better days and understanding that were to come—or not at all. on the day full of sticky heat in summer they kissed with no end in sight, embracing in one others’ hands, holding close to their rhythmic pump, hot breaths as hot as feelings. it all seemed to go well, from time to time— stumbling on the rocky ways obscured with dense ivy rods as they confessed their love. on the late month of parching sun high in the sky, on that day their hearts shared not the heat that of their surroundings as they looked into the eyes of truth, full of hurt and stubborn substantiality, holding same thoughts, whirling on their minds, uttering the long dreaded yet long expected words, breaking the bond holding them tight together. on the chilly winter day with the first frost on leaves they met again, one hoping of one’s reconciliation. only to asunder that last hope, held by thin string yet sturdy as a hair. to say goodbye and part our ways.

why so sensitive you are, when you see a toilet sign, when they say here go the men and there the women. be all pretty or be strong. you drink ***** or some wine... why break down every time, why flinch at the sound, why feel your stomach twist inside, and brain screaming in protest? ‘you are making it all up’ they say, but you fight your own self every day. you are powerless and tired – your strength and spirit fades. will you endure, and see a better end?

do you know what it’s like to feel like you live in the cage? do you know what it’s like to hate what you see in the mirror? do you know what it’s like to flinch when you hear your voice? do you know what it’s like to break down in the bathroom and cry into sleep? do you know what it’s like when you are in the wrong body?

fall is long, eternal, fall is endless in it's depth. darkness impossible to bear, screams echoing. fragile glass is trembling, shattering in no time, breaking from pressure, pieces weaken. soul dances inside the vessel, hiding in its corners, not able to resist the force of the world. body seeks enclosure, distance from every thing, every word and every whisper, every pain.
