Strange, isn't it?

The way we mourn those
Still living...
I miss you.

Hand in hand,
walking in unity.
Watching another's back,
genuine care and empathy.
Showering love on self,
Extended to neighbours as well.
A world in harmony,
sharing resources cordially.
Budget once allocated to weaponry,
diverted towards humanity.
Building and strengthening communities,
rather than creating enemies.
This is the world I see,
A world of people, not a world of things.

I've been unable to finish a single poem
My notepad houses a pile of unfinished pieces
My mind has been swinging on all angles like an empty can hanging on a thread,
thrown in all directions on a breezy day

Wishing the pieces could help one another
finish like a relay race
But each piece is set on its own course
Hopefully one by one, I'll bring each to its finish line.

At 4 a.m. I had a whim
why not write a line or two
It's hot outside , 78 degrees , and it appears there'll be no dew
Everything's right
there is no plight
So I'm not coming down on you
But that's the problem
that I have
and it's making me now so blue
How can I write when there is nothing to say
Damm muse has gone away

This is my narrative  -
     writing only
     to clarify for myself
     a conception of the world,
     my own self-conception  -
This should hold no value
     outside of me....
Save that all narratives
     seemingly overlap
     tend to meet and embrace
     seek interaction
By some unconscious urging
     or primal need.

I often wonder
if snowflakes feel
themselves falling
or if the world
simply
rises among them.

purple heart
anytime someone praises the qualities i own,
i feel like a trickster.
a master of deception
a queen of lies
a doomed being
that doesn't deserves anything

just criticism
is what feels fine.
am i sick?
do i need treatment?
do i need to be locked up in a cage?
do i?

please say i do.
cause that seems just alright.
cause i just feel unhappy about everything.

In the end it won’t matter
In the end nothing will
For in the end, there will be no more
Everything will be over
For that is the end
