Sudden sparks of light that hit the face right there,
When the eyes are closed and the vehicle is moving somewhere
That is drenched with golden caress of sun, totally bare.

I crave inventing a name for this event, completely pure,
The brain is an association machine, for sure.
"Suddenlight" my mind whispers, no need to feel unsure.

A definition as warm as our scene in my mind that i placed in a golden frame:
Flamecolored we were, in the end we both came,
Certainly, it was a mutual game...
suddenlight (n.)

1. The fleeting sensation of sunlight striking the face and closed eyelids, often while in motion, producing a golden, dreamlike glow.


2. A sudden spark of warmth or clarity felt as if from within.

It almost happened.
I was almost good enough for him.
He almost took responsibility, our magnet pieces of love almost gathered,
Before the scene got all dim.

I never knew this would be my lesson,
In a closed book, an endless waiting session...
Now, the page turns on me and you,
The story is about to end, not with a goodbye, with the almost, in a blurry view...

One cannot unlove someone they once loved
It's not possible to take their love back to themselves
They cannot pour that leftover love to someone else
Neither to themselves
The burden of carrying your love like you're carrying a heavy dead body all around...

A bad suprise no one wants to face
Is that loss and grief and their way of being cumulative, flooding in from the space
The weight of pain is not just for that one knee hurting race
Mourning is for all the potential love you have ever lost without a trace
It stings so hard that it's beyond our comprehension, out of pace
The only thing mind can do is to replay the past, to chase
Trying to see the grace in the moldy disgrace
The bittersweet effort of settling the case
Though we are aware we are not who we used to be, as clear as ace
Even if we stand in the same old place

I still feel his frozen naive heartbeat in me
One disappointment ago, old version of me
The one whose last drop of hope was stolen without a warning
Cycles are there for repeating, but his lost brooch for love won't be returning

The magical moments, unexplainable - not in a terse.
The beauty of human nature, masses of written verses,
The bittersweet ache in the chest, don't fret; it's not a curse.
I may not be wise yet, but I acknowledge it's not the worst,
Thus, that's why you press that button in your mind, the reverse,
And love will live forever in the infinite universe.

You're on your own again,
Take a walk on that endless green glen.

It snows heavy over our missing puzzle pool.
I need some fresh air for my burning young heart, for it to cool.

That blindfolded searching, turns into a flu
What would it take to hop on that time machine, making it all undo,
To feel the stillness when the erasure happens to that stuck tattoo?

It hurts my chest when i realize one more lie, the more i find
Cannot even drink five bottles of Baileys to drink you out my mind
The last lesson branch i must hold on tightly is our bond and that it was glorified...
sometimes the writing feels sh*tty and not proper at all, but you still wanna release it :)

My heavy, young chest has longed for a heart
That is going to fill the missing part
A part that bleeds cyan and tastes pretty ta𝘳t
It is still trying to find it at every opportunity, throwing its 143rd dart.

An underrated universality, as heavy as absolution,
The moment hope shatters to a thousand pieces when it finally hits the face, the realization.
It's only your soul that will do, create your salvation,
The little child in me is mad at romance movies, such a misrepresentation.

Suffering is not poetic now.
It's just a pressure, aching in your throat that you have to bow.
"Things get better", that's what i hear, i hope it is a true vow.
I realized i have some fresh wrinkles on my forehead,
Is it because all that happened or should i put the blame to the habit of my eyebrows?

I live on the eastside and I find myself thinking about you often.
I've got to collect all the fallen rubble and put those past memories to the coffin.

I tend to hold onto patterns fearing I'll lose a part of me and die from coughing.
I truly wish that when i take a quick glance in the mirror I'd see myself genuinely laughing.
Rewriting a list for a thousand times now, of everything I've been busy chasing.

Squeezed by uncertainties thinking what path there'll be for me to follow,
The only thing I can find strength to do is to hope I won't end up in a hollow.

The light of the attention rectangle melts the candle of my mind,
Not a choice anymore, just a routine to take a look at it; makes me blind.
No matter how badly I crave it, I can't seem to open the blinds,
The last crumbs of my sanity - I hear them grind.

A place to run away from reality, "connect with the loved ones digitally",
Special cords are drifting away now, seems pretty contradictory.
The purpose of earth is to connect, at least I thought so,
When did it all get this performative and vicarious? Such a fiasco.

Silly 5 year old me, such a great pity,
For him to think he could fill the deep hole carefully,
By pleasing forbidden bodies, intuition was screaming for him to flee,
No danger sign warned against transformation into something he never ever meant to be.

When lights of our stars collide,
Only for it to provide some lust and a bit of pride.
All of the storm and misery we set aside,
Touching others just caused more times that we lied.
All heavy chests that yearn for love suffer from this viral infection although hardspun masks try to hide.

The saviour that quiet boy longed for decades and years,
Was all along his future mirror stepping into being twenty-something after a billion tears.
The one that would give him all the love he had ever feared,
Was his own bleeding heart caged in reseda - at least now for me, it cheers.

Every translation is an act of betrayal.
That pain in your semantical chest, such a precious tutorial.
Creating a new product just for the target or remaining loyal,
A choice of yours, to be a bridge, to be medial...

It got too old, to be stuck between target and source,
Sometimes it flows as a river, and then all eyes can sense the force.
Regaining what was buried under your soul, the skopos,
And maybe that's why you found strength to delete those photos.

While robots translate texts without feeling,
Nida created what we call the equivalent effect, for months; he was trying.
Creativity is a sick man now, bleeding from coughing,
Perhaps dictionary cycles exist to be completed.
