There's an elephant in the room
And it cannot be hidden

There's an elephant in the room
Invisible, and yet inevitable

There's an elephant in the room
That cannot be revealed
For my protection of you

The butler knows
of sorrow untold
He feels so cold,
only the warm glow
of evening
finds him
solace
from what he knows.
                                                          ­                                    points turning
                                                         ­                         opportunities infinite
                                                        ­                                 he thought of not
would render whole dreams forever irredeemable.
His heart was breaking.

All was over. No point dwelling on. Look further beyond.
lest human warmth he needs, banter be the key to what he seeks

I am overcome with guilt and desecrated romance
on my very hands.

Tragedy it be;
are that's what
poets are made
of -
reminiscing smithereens
these lost shreds of
time-filled regret

i am a fence-sitter,
forever undecided
never satisfied
always at the edge

do i want to be at both sides of the fence?

i am putting my weight on one end of the plank
slowly inching closer to the other side
slowly chasing, careful to not tilt the balance

and so this act never-ends
a constant struggle to reach over
it's always greener

maybe all I want is to just be the fence

May the bridges I burn light my way
But when all'st been burnt I am left stranded in flames
Who's to say I haven't lost my way?

        Bridges allow us to traverse across space
        Walking, stepping on gravity to reach a new place.
    
             I cannot reverse time but I can walk in space
             When all the bridges gone; I am left in place
                        And the only way left is to jump right, up and down this maze

Emotional immaturity. Running away from conflict. Giving up easily.

You're too childish and you think life's a game. You've ruined mine, in despair I can't even feel the pain.

I am a sociopath lacking of empathy, self-absorbed, logical, driven by desperation.

I cry tears of death that I have no soul.
Perhaps it's time for me......to go

A pocket dimension
cordons me away
From the world.

I fall asleep in Anne's room.
But when I wake I open my eyes
and see

from the inside
the leaves from the vines falling
so slow, surreal.

I see the outside world, but who sees me?
Only those who've come to seize
come to see.

But I am unaffected,
Protected by the warmth glow
of my humble abode

A place of serenity
that I call
home.

a subjective experience
you're the only one who understands me

every day you sing a new song , a tune that makes you relax
on and on in your heart

Give me a feeling and I'll write you a diary
It's all open but encoded in poetry

Sitting at the edge of the world
I ****** a paper plane down
It flutters and glides down the side of the hill. Disappearing.

I'm ever so alone again.

I'm a madman with a dream
You're a sad man w/o esteem

We both lack self-control
For I am slave to money
And you are slave to me

Freedom is what you seek,
Control over your life.
is what I need
To accomplish my dream of being together
Living luxuriously
A dream that you do not share with me.

You
Are
A.      L.        L.  
That I
need
To succeed
This dream

The key. I should focus more on it
For you are the answer to all I seek
Soloy Dec 2021
Noone must know the things I've been doing
I've always been and outcast and will continue on to be
But this dream of mine stops at nothing
Soloy Aug 2021
I want to salvage this dream
Against your pedantic stupidity

I will peservere
Against your selfish mind

It will eventually come to be
Or so......I wish.
I won't hurt you again
Would it be better if we just remain friends

Love is an obsession
and all obsessions are unhealthy

To get rid of You
I must fill my mind with another


and the cycle continues again


unless.....



I am a thrill seeker
norepinephrine chaser

Your love pales in comparison

In the face of Death
Soloy Aug 2020
We are creatures of circumstance
Cursed eternally to never enjoy
What we have
Soloy Mar 2023
When you restrict someone of it
Die solemnly
Am I the only one in this world who doesn't change?
Yet I've broken my vows, tainted my virtues with hypocrisy justifying my sanity to keep things moving.

But I face death each day a time bomb ticking away I am no longer running but digging a mine.

That which is my obstinate nature has brought great things and prevented the end of worlds my dream is shielded by my one sole belief - to make money.

At the risk of everything. Dehumanizing. Or perhaps that was I from the beginning. I never could do it like the others. What is the difference between you and me. I'm an ox who keeps running into failure and makes a success out of it a budding sprout turned tree from the beige cracks of the obsolete.

Me, just me alone. The obstinate has no enemies. For he is the only one true to his purpose, true to his dream. And there can only be one because of this.

Allies become deadweight drudged through the barren lands with him. Against his will they protest.

The obstinate carries it all with him. He alone weighs the burden caused by his dream.

Giant Chasm
【I】close my eyes
and see the darkness deep inside.

Echoing through
chamber
walls,
My thoughts
warped
like squiggly lines,
bouncing off rusty granite.
Moving at the speed of light,
Transcending time,
the thoughts recalled the longer [̲̅I] bide.

I grit my teeth as I bare
the Truth,

am but alone
In my own mind
Soloy Feb 2021
Girls hide behind their illusions
Their beauty that guys see
Falters with truth

And so they hide
Their illusions
Soloy Jul 2020
These days I can't sleep
I think of thee
Now look at he
Sitting in darkness
Typing away with empty heart
Fingers like feather-touch
He made a mistake
Was he? Did he?
Was it a mistake that he made that birth to all these
The cycle repeats
No matter where I sit
Alone,
One thing's for sure
People die when they succeed
This cycle of eternity will grant me immortality

Till death takes me
If the cycle's not complete
I will thrash in hell
Under heaven's decree
The scourging flames will not stop me
Until the cycle bears my sins

Dripping away
At my flesh
Soloy Nov 2021
a picture speaks a thousand languages,
despite its transfixation.
a video only one,
albeit its fluidity.

At the center of it all
You are the core that imbues beauty
Soloy Sep 21
it's funny how you think
when it's the only reason why I'm staying with you

your egocentric worldview defines

extreme impulses intoxicated by social media

a child artist painting brush strokes to craft your perfect _
- what is?

sacrifice that a child expects from her parents;

you've formed me to become
I _ you more than I _ myself

what about mine needs? as a parent does nothing excpecpt a child to return his love.
Soloy Jul 2021
One night

Let me
Rip you away from your existence
Away from your reality
And into mine

To chase back lost time
Soloy Aug 2021
I realize
you are the crux
you are my dream
to be with you
I'd sacrifice , everything
can be so perfect
the money we make
the fun we'll have

Everything can be so great
if only
you Trust in my love for You

I will persevere.

Living for granted - that's what happens to you
Messy beds, empty skies
As tears run on by
The feeling of emptiness pervades us when we take living for granted

Soloy Dec 2020
Emotional fulfilment,
We can't rely on the future,
What's now is only as good as yesterday
You can't change yourself
You can only change the world

And to that I say......

We'll fix it tomorrow

I pull-up
Under the moonlight
Where trees fall
unto heaven's respite

A dark overvoid
marred with patches of white
Opaque and oblique
Like a swan in flight
fueled by
Moonlight
Encapsulating all that is within
from one that is without

Like a great carpet engulfing the
Earth, creating
The shadows of the night
Inversion of the light

I rope myself closer to the moon each time
with moonlight as my guide
the distance infinite.
It moves.
I see with closed eyes.
Soloy Jun 2020
Stringing my ukulele by the seas,
music is my solemn company.
Calming waves, dark and gloomy
beneath the lights, shining ever brightly.
I want to be above it.

I realize after sitting for a bit that
this is not an escape, but
a mistake.
Stories of broken sailor dreams
of freedom and peace,
Lies only in fantasy

Our concrete reality, moulded by
waves of uncertainty.
Should we anchor our lives upon it
The lights speak to me.
Ode
Soloy Jul 2020
Ode
Mephistoles Mephistoles
Grant me your wish
You'll empty my hearts out and carve out my sins

Mephistoles Mephistoles
Cleanse me of thee
Guilt that drowns my soul whenever I breathe

Lest eternal emptiness suffocates me
Bring me to hell and burn out my sins
Soloy Nov 2022
The blood in my skin
struggles to come to peace.
The sputtering engine
suturing the seams to my sins.

Like a seal manifest,
each ***** a ***** to keep it in.
I become the canvas to my sins,
the demons badgering me
my blood as offering.

Do as you might I said in respite
from suffering.
His craft summons
my body's mortal
bore a portal
to thee underneath

It is done, five dollars please.
That is a snark price to pay for my sins.
Thank you, I welcome thee.
Soloy Jun 2020
I submerge myself in the sea.
Whens't destiny can't find me.
Freezing silence surrounds my being
I enveloped the abyss; darkness.
Where I feel strangely at peace.
                                                          ­                                   Detached  
from the world.

My eyelids                                                          ­       loosening its grip,
it stings as the darkness seeps in the windows             to my soul

My lungs                                                            ­       tightening its hold
                                                           ­                                    to my heart
  as it beats with indefatigable yearn to live.                                       

My brain                                                            ­                  distorted      
from the lack of oxygen fighting against my                    instincts  
to breathe    


        i        start                                        ­                            hallucinating
                  in       the                         distance                                
      i         glimpse       a     phantom      of   her                                          


I    open    my  eyes    desiderate     for                                light
the                                                             ­                              darkness    
gushes         in       ;  I    fight                                       
            ­                        
To capture one last sight
I need more light
One last breath

to                                                       ­                                     Reunite ,
My 
Eurydice

For naught I've sought for eternity
A desert that could fill me belly
I feed them a piece of me,
I see, I preach
They see, they bleach
The more I reach, the more they *****

The joy of the eternal chase
Lies not in what you seek,
But the chase itself,
A masterpiece.
The circle of desire commands
What can be.
Unfathomable joy ends
The moment you saw me.
Forgot I wrote this poem 2 years ago... Saw that I sent it to a friend so I'm posting it here now

Scary mind
Host transfer
Surrogates; compatible?
My AI - the feelings that I put in you
My ego manifest
Becomes your soul

I am your programmer and you to my own
We will stay together till we find the next host
Till then I will be deleted
Corrupted in soul

It's important
To have respect
In a            lationship

Otherwise words hurled
Things flying
Damaging throats

Like a hanging fruit upon a mistletoe
Impeding new year's resolution

My power is lost
through my will
is yours - to command;

I am placed in your box of stasis,
wherein lies
things that become forgone

U
render me unable to move on

Cravings or longings
My mind ****** into your eye,
of a whirlpool
Amnesiac but the feeling's there
A tender longing for hope
The spare
Details I will not recollect
The feeling stays,
but the Mind is blank
For oft I've yearned
No this can't be

Just forget it
nothing lasts
An Eternity
A day or a night
A month or a year
The difference it makes
The feelings it pr cures
I see not. Time is what I have
An eternity's moment bears me no divergence.
But for you it cares
A feeling so scarce
No scars no love
People you have

For oft the night repeats itself
Never again will it dispel
The smokes we had
The lines you shared
On empty ears,
The listener remembers
The speaker forgets

O'despair, bless me amnesiac
Soloy Jun 2020
U make my Earfquake
I stare blankly at space
The walls do not move
Like my mind preparing to snooze

You are the opposite of an Earfquake
A tranquil twilight
I feel peace and stability
In this liminal space
before
i go
to sleep

-- . .-.. --- -.. .. . ...
My soft yearning gaze upon your emanating presence
fills my heart to the brim with appreciation
Of your beauty, the lines of your face like
superlunary threads woven together in fractals;
an instantiation of geometric perfection.
Like æther, the material of celestial spheres,
creating a passage
that connects the edge of one to the other.
Transmitting a frequency that channels my heart with love;  of the
warm embrace of your beauté

Your beauty
transcends
dimensions
like music
that feeds
my lost soul
||
I pay for it with time
like a bridge to traverse between dimensions

For this passage is not physical
but a liminal space
when I close my eyes
and think of you.
Soloy Jun 2020
Hope shines bright
Vigorous orange wisps
Engulfing my sight
Eclipsing numberless edifice

I am drawn to you my light
Bathing my presence with your warmth
glow tonight

The setting of the sun
Marks the most beautiful part of day
A mellow everglow
Prismatic flowers enwreathing
my heart with snug

The setting of the sun
Marks the Remains of the Day
Not one of solemn rainy mist
But one of graceful frosted tint
Showing me strength that lies within

A time of day
Not too late nor too early
For a Butler's life a sight to marry
It fills his heart with love,
old but gold
passion untold.
I hope you're feeling better now
Illusory hope that never burns
cold
as days go
dreary, colourless.

Till whens't his love will be expressed
Will let his days no more repressed

Warmth glow of evening light
Fuel him with hope
to drive and fight
To see the same sight
My evening light.
Soloy Jun 2020
I strung the movements
with my heart.
With shrieks of desperate madness
to escape my self enfetter.

Paper beats rock but
My notes bounce back off blunt
damp stonewalls,
cornering me off.
I'm trapped.
My music goes nowhere,
An eternity's echo
Rings of despair

I model after myself,
each movement, each blow
A craft to my hole.

Where I yearn to see the open sky
Where my music can soar and fly

Just let it go,
Uncage it,
Let it flow.
I'm sleepy af when I wrote this
Soloy Nov 2021
i guess 'tis it
how would I ever have known
there was no love
but the impermanence of hatred
fueling my soul with despair
repeatedly,

tragedy
Soloy Jun 2021
Here I lay, empty-hearted.

My hustle has turned me into husk
This husk is filled with the sin of lust
Draining my values, morals, ethics
White liquor leaking
Time freezing

A hustle for no greater purpose
What am I to do with it

I need a goal, a purpose to live like this...
