LOVE, I DIDN'T WANT
TO RETURN;

DID NOT CHOOSE
...TO FEEL,

... ONCE MORE.

TO BECOME, THE NOTHING
FILLING THE NIGHT-AIR.

TO BE,
PERPETUAL,

THE DARKNESS;
A DANCING SHADOW

TO BE..., PARTNER
OF A CANDLE'S FLAME;

MERE SMOKE, RAISING,
... OF A LINE'S WICK.

RESIDUE EMPTINESS
TEARS, ... OF MELTING WAX;

DRIPPINGS
BEYOND THE COOL...

CRACKLED GLASS.

REFLECTIVE ECHOS;
AN OLD HEART'S DESIRE.

TONES OF SILENCE MAKING
DEEP THE VASTNESS;

WHICH ONCE,
CRADLED ME

SAFE.

WHAT BURNS
FLICKERS;

A **** ENDS
WHERE...

I AM.

LOVE.
🖤
THIS IS A QUITE PRAYER TO
The patron saint of emptiness
love.

Forgive all which caused you pain;
... as a tribute at its wake.

As to the pain itself?!

Leave it beneath an epitaph,
Where it desires you to be.

The greatest pearls only come to be after the harshest irritants has placed itself into the clam's place for way way too long.


They'll think, ' I am so wonderful being a pearl!'

When in fact...,
A pearl is merely a gravemarker of an irritant.

i do not believe in god
but i do believe in poetry
and for me
maybe poetry is prayer
and the universe
is an unwavering ear
in the shape of a god

Sorry.
I want to apologize for that last one.
Maybe I lost my temper a bit and that's not cool.

I just find lately when I sit down and put my hands on the keyboard,
with everything going on I just get so angry.

Angry at myself.
Angry at the world we live in.

Little did she know,
I love her
and the chaos
in her heart.

Me in the far future,
Thinking about my younger years,
Knowing it's a platonic relationship,
'Cause I would never want to go back,
Constantly feeling I'm on the wrong track.

Everything is more peaceful now,
I've let go of the painful nights,
But I still want to miss it,
Just not getting too close to it,
'Cause I don't want to be young anymore,
I wish I wasn't young anymore.

Confessions

What You think of Seneca?
I could be Your Lucilius,
Since there are many things I don't know,
Feels and things I don't show.

And every time, You make me wonder,
You're a thief but You never plunder,
Living with a moral compass,
You don't care about what they told us.

Charismatic, magnetic,
Words not enough to describe You,
Time after time I try to,
Not to talk about You.

Not to talk about You,
Not to think about You,
Not to dream about You,
My life not to be about You.

'Cause: "I am not to speak to You, I am to think of You when I sit alone or wake at night alone"
And I have to accept that,
Even if I'm not there yet.

I feel so alive,
Pumbed up, high,
And then I fall down,
Crash, break, cry.

I take long lonely walks,
In places to where no one comes,
So I can be alone with my sorrow,
I need a new life that I could borrow.

And I try to tell myself to stop thinking,
About unreal scenarios,
,,You need to stop daydreaming!"
You can feel your soul and heart breaking.

I envy those people,
They are living their best lifes,
And I'm here alone,
Still stuck in the past times.

It's only my fault
That I can't get out of this mud
That glues me to one place
It feels like a hell of a long phase, when

I feel so alive,
Pumped up, high,
And then I fall down,
Crash, break, cry.
