Damocles
However the wind moves,
Swaying through and beyond you
Feel the wisps through your fingertips
Whispers from ancients' parting lips
Riding into ascension,
Feel the love of all mother
Rush through like a rapid river,
Resplendent
there is a power and magic in just connecting to the earth.

forever drifting in the feeling of you.

can't wake up,
itยดs not a dream,
trying to escape it,
with no way out,
just dissociating,
disconnecting from the world,
the feelings,
the thoughts,
from everything,
entering the void,
a simple retreat,
only I am there,
a time out

Gently cross over the wooden bridge
You have places to go
The bridge has to be there for every passer-by
Dawn to dusk, weathered, not yet to dust
Into the forest deep,
where the rivers rumble and roar
and sing lullabies

The poet not in love
Is the violin never heard
The sunrise never seen
And the water never felt.
The fires never lit
The birds never in flight
The lips never touched
The meaning never found.

The poet not in love is
The journey never taken
The path never walked
The guitar with no strings
And the painter with no canvas.
The parent to no child
The treasure never discovered
The book with no beginning
The story with no reason.

The poet not in love is silent
And what a useless thing to be
As a poet.

I drop a tear,and then another......and the flow begins.
I hold on to my stomach,fingers digging into my things..........I can barely see.
All the hurt eats from the inside.
And ...so I realize........ it's not even the brain,but the heart,that knows where it hurts ......the most.

loving you is a constant ache
a constant shiver
and a constant wake

loving you is as hard as crying in silence
as running forever
as running in water

I held the silence in my chest,
But my heart still beats your name
Even as you step away,
My love for you remains.

If distance writes a quiet song,
I hope it hums of me and you.
I'm not done loving, not just yet,
I still believe in us too.

a battlefield with no blood, just poison
using words not weapons
where every little thing hurts, that's happened
where the soldiers don't sacrifice but disappear
leaving wounds that are severe.
Everyone is always battling something in their minds, fighting demons no one else sees. Always be kind, you don't know what anyone else is going through. <3

Of true essence,
Silent power, steady and pure.

Free birds ๐Ÿฆ…

As much as I can see can I go
as much as I dream can I be
as much as I seek can I find
as much as walk can I reach
I was living a life of a falcon
with the dreams of an ostrich ,
and had to guide my own like eagle

As much as I can see can I go
My eyes could see freedom but the wings
Couldn't fly to freedom
As much as I dream can i be
Only the dream of freedom was in my head
The lost bird that was caged for years dreaming of freedom
As much as I walk can I be
The freedom couldn't reach to but I had to walk to freedom
I was living a falcon dreams ,that I could spot all the danger nothing goes unnoticed
Yet am eagles
Yet I could run the race like a ostrich

Part II

(The Spellโ€™s Source)

The witch spoke a name, dark and sweet,
and bees forgot the flowersโ€™ beat.
Their buzzing ceased, a hollow sound,
a kingdom lost beneath the ground.

In the black forestโ€™s heart, it growsโ€ฆ
a flower no bee remembers.
Its petals drip with twilightโ€™s poison,
a bloom that calls but never knows.

The bees have flown from memoryโ€™s edge,
lost to whispers and fading light.
And in this place where darkness reigns,
the forgotten bloom waits in endless night.

Kritika
Why do dead people get more flowers
than alive ones?
Is regret greater than gratitude?

Why do graves bloom
with petals of sorrow,
while the warm hands,
still reaching,
are left cold and empty?

Why do people love children
but neglect old parents?
why do we cherish youth,
soft , unwrinkled
but aver our gaze
from the hands
that built our world?

I stumble through these dark streets.
My dry mouth and slurred speech.
I called you but you won't receive,
My drunken pleads and memories.
Contorted minds and lucid dreams,
I'll sink into sublunary.

Aaamour
what is love, I questioned myself
if she was a flower in a garden
I would  write poems,
describe her in the most elegant ways
I would love her more than myself

I would manifest
about her eyes, voice-everything
I would draw,
and add colours to make her stand out
I would tell about her
to this world- filled with misery

I would  try to recreate her
so Iโ€™ll never be left alone

we donโ€™t pluck it out
just to spend a day or two with it
instead we let it thrive
that is love
And to love is to leave

I can talk about you all day.
And nothing would change.
You have the warmth of the sun that shines within.
You just that special.

And when others see you, they understand the same thing to.
You just that special.
Yes, in various kinds of way.

I never imagine someone coming into my life.
But there must be a reason you came my way.
Yes, you special that way.

Some blessings are meant to be.
I guess you was sent to keep me happy.

I trace your name across the night,
With solar ink and lunar light,
Each syllable, a burning thread
โ€˜Tween stars that have not shifted red
That I still count each night in bed.

I know you do the same for me
Beneath some distant canopy.
Upon your lips, my name a sigh,
A whispered vow to midnight sky
That tethers us, both you and I.

Our names are written line by line,
With diamonds set to intertwine
As constellations from above,
Devoted to the keeping of
The tacit truth of starlit love.

Her laughter and smile still taunts me
So warm and bright
I still hear her footsteps, wanting to flee
Trying to flee, into the broad of daylight.

I sometimes think i see her, still there
I canโ€™t tell if itโ€™s a reflection with red
Because if i glare,
I remember that iโ€™m staring at imperfection with dread.

โ€œItโ€™s alright, iโ€™ll come back soonโ€
She would say with a warm smile.
I donโ€™t believe her, it was already June
Come back, it has been a while.

โ€œYouโ€™ll see me, but i canโ€™t promise i will be okay.โ€
Those were her promises that she made before going towards the light
I pray and pray
But she didnโ€™t give a sign of life.

Pure red, like a healthy child has
It flows with a breath and nutrients
But with a flash
Her flow breaks out of its placement

seen you yesterday, my prays have been answered
i was so enamoured by your swagger and my heart fractures
i was so armoured by my triggers and my heart putters
it could be so sweet if only

i follow the pulsing intuition inside
it could be so sweet if only
i would be so worth it
i wish on cranes in the sky

I am a son
I am a father
I am a daughter
I am a mother

Why do I starve?
For what crime do you punish me?
Am I an animal?
Can't you afford me empathy?

I am a son
I am a father
I am a mother
I am a daughter

But most importantly I am a human.
The genocide in Gaza and the current starvation is undeniable.

Dream you never existed,
For my life that you made twisted,
You'll go to hell,
I am dumb but I can tell,
These nightmares chase my shattered soul,
No matter if I sleep with open eyes, cold,
Chases me every single second of my life,
Flashing scenes like a grave of dreams and strife,
Used to wonder why adults want to die,
But as I grew, I feel itโ€”like a silent cry,
This sad life,
Depressing smiles, fading like withered light,
My heart can end itself anytime...
...drowning in veins of sorrow and fading rhyme.

Day in, day out,
The sun shines
The wind cries
The rain creeps
And the birds tweet

Day in,and day out,
Do my hair
Do my makeup
Do my work
And the day goes on

Night in,and night out,
The tears stroll down
The knot tightens
The  voices clown
And the morals i stand on dissipate.

Night in,and night out,
The clouds form
The smoke gather
The heart aches
And the trees shudder.

The whispers arise
Day in,and night out,
As the poor deers run,
Bunnys hop and fish swim,
The end is the crave
So why am i depraved?

You-
An invisible force.
Shaping my world,
Without a word or any remorse.

You asked me for love, I gave you faith.
And then you shut the gate.
So please, I beg,
Stay away.
And just like the moon shines bright in the night,
Try not to ruin my day.

Someday, I will be heard
For now, I will talk to the birds
I miss being outside
This is a warmup, I am trapped in my mind
I have used this place to escape
Someday, I will get what I crave
For now, I will exchange
these thoughts that have been
floating in my brain.

My eyes are awake now
I can feel your soul awakened me
Storm clouds are swept away
In my mind your image soothes my soul

You are my light on a dark day
You are near my heart
I can feel your warmth on me

When I awake from dreaming
5is reality sets in motion
I can feel your soul awaken
Dreaming, dreaming

My eyes are open now
Your my light on a dark day
When I lost my way
Your soul helped me
Through the days

Iโ€™m awake now
Iโ€™m awake now
Iโ€™m awake now

Your my light on a dark day
Storm clouds moving away
Iโ€™m wide awake now
