Out of breath
but I didn't run,
just sat here thinking
about the Sun,
about the Moon,
about the Earth
How life came to be
before my birth?
the eternal truth?
& what lies beyond....
Will  this  Wretched  Universe
Ever Respo-
                    -( fatigued panting*)
tired of searching for meaning through a combination of thoughts

The secrets of euphoria
Insist on letting you down

All this work but no reward
just something for humanity to hoard

search for the ends & the beginnings
another goal but no winnings

Time ebbs on, doesn't subside
so much to figure out during the ride

these accomplishments spawn burden
satisfaction's not an eternal eden

greet with smiles & socialize
an addition to those that you despise

delete destination, expectation, emotion
no fun in life unless you're one with its motion.

Sudden thirst for adventure
Nagging my brain off to venture
In a citadel of imagination

So much possibility
Yet out of reach in ability
Thoughts built an alcazar in pure elation

These hopes clash with the ordinary -
Mediocre, prosaic reality
But maybe simplicity's not as bad as they say

The search for 'extraordinary'
Will have to wait in its dormitory
So, I'll leave them in my dreams
                             for another day......

we're phantoms lingering through,
lone streets at twilight

lost and decieved of what's perceived
to be life in hindsight

oblivious and unrehearsed,
sprinting through thick mist at midnight

deafened under blankets of white noise,
searching for the obscure insight.

waiting for the sole conclusion,
a purpose for this enigmatic life

where ecstacy inevitably,
ends in melancholy
at most times.

Unsolved vendetta
between the sun & moon
Stark daylight bright
& the twilight noon.
embarks the dark,
the sun's descent
Luna dim-lit night
asks for no consent.
the shades of life,
reciprocate
undecided tones
constantly alternate.
Miracles of both worlds,
whimsically cinematic
Entice artistic eyes;
sun & moon - enigmatic.

I heard they make you see
Other- worldly realities
preposterous portals packed in a pill
trips to unknown lands & whimsical hills

enchanted chance of instant escapism
experience the thrill - blind surrealism
distorts imagery, the walls melting away
colours that don't exist, paint the day

Glimpses of the truth of the universe
takes you to multi- dimensions unrehearsed
Infinite feelings - euphoric
And in the moment is where you frolic
All in a few micrograms of these
clandestine chemicals..

Which I know aren't meant to be glorified
but if they had no consequences at all
no complications or dangers,
Wouldn't you swallow one or two
If that was the case, honestly I  would too...

The mind misunderstands
what's feign & what's the truth
reality keeps contradicting
awaited promises  - so uncouth
stirring melancholia-
Once a place of aspiration
replaced  by gerascophobia
residing in despondent contemplation.

Do we sleep just to wake up in a 2nd existence?

'The parallel universe holds my destined reality'- says my mind with persistence.

Or I'd be happier floating amid fragments in the asteroid belt...

To suffocate in space, knowing here's where I last dwelt.

Everyones the protagonist
to their deceptive movie life
made-up delusional illusions
to distract us from the strife.
Delude ourselves into
the minds- 'Hollywood'
hallucinating surrealism
numb & evasive to reality
& the creeping white noise of realism.
We lose track of fleeting memories
as we chase feign & shallow visions,
end up reviling our true form
& make some of the worst decisions.
Are we humour to the gods?
& ideals to the slaves of hell
Are you living in your minds- 'Hollywood'-
       Or are you living your reality well?
Are you living in your head or living your life?

I'm losing my sanity

with this unjust reality

who do you think you are?!

decieving us with profanities.

Of parties & concerts,

ways to please the 5 senses,

paradise awaiting,

these altered reality lenses.

We're all waiting deep down

for a grand surprise

the chest of eternal joy

to be unlocked ...is lies

the never-ending Mondays

the 9 to 5's

was it really worth it..

when you near your demise?

Forget about it,

take a walk outside

abandon this routine life

and never look behind.

A cabin in the forest
far from the city- bleak
where the air so crisp
would cleanse your soul
as you breathe in the morning mist.
colossal trees tower over your presence
Let it be known human-
the landlords who reside;
are the grizzlies and the robins-
effervescent.
Tranquil silence & enigmatic sounds
Piques my curiosity all around.
The slight possibility
of a bigfoots presence
eery sensations & the moon in crescent.

Don't you feel, it's time to feel good

       enough time wasted on negativity

that was a phase, a perished past

       gone - disintegrated into nullity.

Experience engendered a refined persona

       & it's time to fill that void with productivity

The road will always be as rough

       But your soul will strive for positivity.

mountains shadow,
the dark canvas of the sky
spotted with rhinestones-
starry winking fireflies
as the dreamy drifty clouds
are shyly shifting by,
the strange symphony of a hum & buzz
& the distant crickets cry
awakens other-worldly feelings.
Vaguely hypnotized by its mellow
cruising down this lonely road
mesmerized as the moons gaze follows-
me, sat at the back with the window rolled down
as the nights cool breath gently sways the weeping willows....
I want to live in this moment for eternity
In this nocturnal roadtrip to infinity.

I love cryptic sentences
That make me seem profound
When sometimes I am clueless
to empty words all matched by sound.
My mind to me is ambiguous:
Is it brilliance or pretense?
For all I know my insight could be
- a load of great nonsense.
Intelligence or creativity?
Much too confused to judge
No interest in it's dichotamy
I'd rather have some fudge.
To me it's all insanity
for not everything requires definition.
The end comes faster than the answers
So, indulge in the nonsense that is written.
Our world's enigmatic afterall
This mysterious creation - holds our presence
All that matters could be what you enjoy
So what's life without some ~ Nonsense.
an appreciation of everything some may call nonsense...

Whimsical thoughts & feelings, sentimental
Memories that a heart holds, reverential

The perfect mix of joy and sorrow
A feeling light, yet heavy & mellow
Like lying under a weeping willow

From sights so distinct but unrecognizable
Scents that remind you of a memory,  seizable
A taste that lingers, so indescribable
A feeling that's longed for &  undeniable.
a feeling called 'home'.

.



I swear there's no desperation ,
~  I'm inoculated with self love.
an amelioration in self appreciation ,
I've taught myself the how.



yet the velvet core in my heart ~
yearns to be caressed
& engulfed in warmth ,
~  feeling summery Hawaii  ~
with no snare or snag or con.



for I give the world ,
all my tender zeal ,
and unsolicited adoration  -


    which backfires, 9 out of 10 ,
     Though I never seek, reciprocation.

But, there exists...

                      a glint

                             a tickle

of   AbSoLutE  craving

                                    a spec

                                        a freckle

of great raging longing

for all the worlds attention

to fill my chalice of a soul

-  to the brim

~  with affection.

Till the vast end of the horizon
sparkling in the sun
waters churned with molten opals
& with sapphires it was spun
into a splendid blanket of blue
rippling to the empyrean's breath
in the most ethereal hue
a profound pool of depth.

Just a soul among the 7 billion

   An Earth creature - amid a gazillion

living on a spec in the Milky way

       A cluster of stars in dark outer space

Like a clump of dust adrift in a sun beam

    Could we be a figment of someones dream?
existence is crazy

Are we living an Oxymoron?
In an existence with no "Once upon..."
Magnetism causes gravitation
Minds linger in constant levatation
Refuse the touch of blatant grounds
Can't accept reality will come around-
the corner, when the time's just right
of all the dreams you've accumulated - in spite
Is it in the constellations like mystics say
Never believed in illogical misfits anyway
Could futures possibilities be written in the sky?
Stutters in the struggles of answering the whys
Are we surrounded by patterns, codes to crack?
with the intelligence an average human lacks
Infinite questions & complications
Waiting for the great moment of revelation...

Cryptic creature, mystic eyes
Compelling features that hypnotize
The grandeur in your intricate train
Speaks royalty, majestic reign
Yet you live in zoo's, encaged
Where other creatures envy and raged

A million copies of the plastic girl
a toxic culture around the world
Unique beauties - blind to ruination
diverse belles - their mothers' distinctive features
Fall victim to insecurities, a void
a spectrum of beauty - destroyed
cut, paste, puncture, sculpt & fill
In the name of 'perfection', new faces billed
another puppet to commercial traps
cosmetics over quality, innate beauty in scraps.

Next time you walk past a being unknown....

don't hold a judgemental gaze
or whisper a spiteful phrase,

Let go of your apathetic ways
for humanity & its 'brighter days'

for your words could...
bring another's world crashing down

a warm smile, a nod of acknowledgement
could remind someone, that they're seen

a malicious frown, a belittling glance
Or a patronizing stance
Could cause ones fragile self-esteem to collapse

Your kind eyes, a random compliment
has power to restore wonderment in the eyes
- Of the stranger who was on his way to that
forlorn bridge.
Be kind to everyone

Another facing the screen
writing profanities
thinking insanity
stitching verses acrimonious
or playing pungent words-harmonious
fabricating delusive fantasies
in feelings of pure ecstasy
melancholy or malignity
forged in the bliss of minimalism
or the complex art of maximalism
inspiring poetic athleticism
pressing keys with blazing passion
in an 1880's typists fashion
or pondering by the window
creating a marvelous crescendo
evoking curiosity,
a poetic monstrosity
of thought provoking quality
for questioning our entity
or embracing the obvious,
in whimsical simplicity.
A poetical society
behind my pixelated screen
indulge in poetic impropriety
in Hellopoetry!
written in free verse, as liberating as poetry should be

Intensely in disguise
A sheep in wolf skin
fear present in the eyes
reflects an inflaming sting.
Striding in the night

would seep into the core
'fake it till you make it '

human innocence is overrated
we are psychopathic in nature
no psychology or social analyses

Born into a world
that defines the great reality
Endless hope takes us to stars , 
 while we're held by gravity
We reside in our delusions , 
 to escape depravity
Expectations exceed fate ,
  when we hope for quantity
Destroying our creation ,
  the purpose of our entity
Our existence - better dead , 
 unless we change our quality.

when the underdog
becomes the undisputed
the once doubted, shamed-
famed as ill-reputed..
takes the world by storm
a sea of disbelief

to give the world relief
to redefine the past
as a salubrious origin
for the present that commends
all your life decisions.

I wonder if in years & years

Midnight timelapse of the day;
a chaotic flasback - pandemonium
I'd grow Griffin wings & fly away
Off of lifes manic grip - a restless podium
Where the spotlight burns my eyelids sore
Profoundly fatigued, deep to the core
These complications that I can't ignore
I want to hit snooze & snore some more.

A blue blanket crystalline
                         stretching out to infinity
glistens in the limelight
                         of the sun's affinity.
The horizon paints its' golden rays

Hushed streets at midnight
          not a soul awake..
blackened windows,
          a neighbourhood in slumber
nocturnal breeze rustles the
                                   sidewalk trees
small dandelions
                    shiver and tremble
We saunter quietly
                      down the lonely lane
sharing 3am thoughts
                       and listening to the stars,

they twinkle but all that's heard is a faint -
                         Crickets' creak,

in a Silent world, untroubled after dark.

On the crest of a wave
I smile in glee
as society,
is finally applauding me
but malicious eyes
they wish to see
my blissful aura -
in debris
to quell my smile
with their deceit -
the warm smile I give
everytime we meet.
they  mask their hatred
with affinity
& blind me with  
feign intimacy
& slyly execute
the plans conspired
against my joy
with wickedly wired
minds of malignity
with silvertongued mouths
shredding my dignity
casting me out
Of societies appreciation
making me a nobody
with immortal manipulation
ruining my reputation.
Rattling the jury
that gave me a place
provoking my fury
as I catch up to their pace
& realize wholly
with my shattered smile
I've been decieved
by their intentions- vile
Caught in the aftermath
of their callous deception
I shed a few tears
& confide in introjection
As I too put on a facade of Manipulation.
manipulative beings are often the 'once manipulated' by people who couldn't stand their smiles...

a landfill of memories
at times seem grotesque &
sombre
life's alright- not electrifying
for my fluctuating moods in ombre
desolate human connections,
expectations that start to swell
fatigued like insomniacs
but we've been sleeping well.
a murmur of malaise
that has no sole origin
& console myself with the sad riff-
of a guitar that's lost ambition.
What actual boredom feels like
dilshé Jul 2021
Strangers; estranged to eachother
desensitize the soul of another
judgement & diversification -
forefront of a bad implication
you feel - so taken out of context
then you hypothesize the mind of the next
& memorize those objectified persons
but realize; these are empty aversions..
for that stranger too - is similar to you
in a complex existence, lost in the blues
faces complications,
the same symptoms of life
same alterations
of both bliss, sadness & strife
though it seems you're the cynosure
& them; the background noise
though they say,"I'm the protagonist"-
& you're just a little voice
Every stranger, every soul of your life-
whatever role-
possesses a mind as intricate as yours
a life as labyrinthine -
although not shown.

Imagery of the Milky Way,
Captured by night skies
Those twinkling things
That give my mind wings
& slight euphoric sighs..
Are much more than -

that glisten in your eyes
- They're burning orbs
In galaxies,
         spectacles that entice...

From an abyss of oblivion.
with no existence of a past.
My soul was dragged to a worldly place
& into a body I was cast.

From birth you piece of mobile meat
I've learned to call my own.
When really I have an incomplete-
identification of who you are.

Are you an anonymous delusion?
Or a master of deception?
Who was created in clandestine-
meant to be my feign depiction.

From the moment I came to this dimension
& till this journeys end
You carry a soul piqued with confusion
as your own & as a friend.

An enigma from the day we met
Your identity never gets clearer..
For everytime I glance at my reflection
A stranger stares back from the mirror.
the most unfamiliar face you know is your own...
dilshé Jul 2021
Suddenly
the system
lacks in exhilaration
a desperate crave
for a joyful sensation-
begins to eat you up inside.
Your skin that 'once had been'
was so under-appreciated-
loses elasticity
& regretfully deflated-
becomes that youthful thrill.
& in the dark & loathsome
dusk of your life
you truly feel lonesome
a forgotten solitaire in the night.
And though we melt-
& take anomly forms
I hope we stick
with those lucid norms
that keeps us human
& merely sane
To still see the bliss
in this existential game.
Here's to inevitably growing old:)

Can't remember how I fell asleep

moments before the mind sunk pillow deep

unconscious conscious evanesced, fades

existential thoughts, the ace of spades

numb to the world, we disappear

blank comfort, unknown atmosphere

A ticket to the Theatre of dreams

seat upon a cloud or hellish screams

Where the mind's in liberty minus your intention

Without the strict regime & restless tension

A cinematic place of infinite wonder

no technicalities or time to ponder

The preposterous imagery behind your eyes

Solivagant adventure floating in the skies

As dawn arrives & your hanging on the brink

& wake up not knowing what to think
reposted a poem ive accidentally deleted

The eye is the mind's window
that portrays all beyond imagination
it feeds the mind with a key of thought
which we indulge in continuation.
But if one had never seen the world

How'd they know this world exists?

In the Grand-scheme of things
We're all linchpins
consciously mindless vagabonds
You weren't given this miracle
as a coincidence
to merely exist
But - despite the circumstances
To rise from the mist
Let your presence flourish
In this enigmatic experience
It's a 'Once In Existence' thrill
A sweet yet bitter pill.
Pain is inflicted upon
- those capable & strong
Possess the potential to fight
Turn the Inferno into a song.
Sometimes you'd have to find...
Life at lifeless times
-Moments to feel alive
Passion in the ashes
& an eternal sparkle in the eyes
-Of a chosen soul
given that ticket to the world-
Simulation or imagination
-Beyond comprehension
A pricelessly incredible
Spontaneous creation.

desire is the flame
that burns us from within
why give it more fuel?
when you know it only stings...
to fantasize, romanticize
give your hearts' glory & fame
to money & material things
when in the end- it's the same.
wanting to - needing-
to craving much more
a never-ending cycle
that ends in dullness & bore.
an inferno of desire
consumes the naive & unwise man
extinguish it & quench the quest-
and you'll find peace
at hand.

i desire to reside
in Van Gogh's 'The Starry Night'
amid swirls of sapphire blues
timeless at moonrise, amber lights
wind warps the firmament

Saint Remy's asylum view; in sight.
silent village, cerulean nocturne
whispering melancholy -

Inspired by Vincent van Gogh's famous painting.

What a time to be alive....,
The internet incinerates our intellect

Global warming is drowning our land

Toxic air chokes our breathing lungs

Obnoxious beings won't lend us a hand

Criminals, terrorists & notorious politics

Born with a youth that's distraught

Man seeks power not love or humanity

& only selfish survival is taught.

Earth is a place of immortal corruption-

This consensus is all that we hear...
But, does this era deserve such conviction ?
For a change of perspectives is dearer.

What a time to be alive!
Such a blessing to be born in this era..

The internet unites us in harmony

The azure sky has never looked clearer

Life is resplendent, with liberty endless

In retrospect to history- atrocious

The human heart beats of pure kindness

But, life is ephemeral so be cautious...

This miraculous world we ought to cherish,

An era where man & nature thrives.

So, forget the odds & take a moment to relish
This perfect time to be alive!
perspective is key to a happier life

You exist, as the seconds tick

conscience on the words, being read

the world is still, your soul at peace

countless thoughts swirl inside your head.

But right this second, across the Earth

a being sleeps , caught in a dream

at the other end, where the sun's emerging

a child awakens, to a cuckoos scream.

At this very moment, in a different land

tears are flowing down anothers cheeks

& as you read, under a different sky

a human smiles, at a memory

soon this moment, you spend in time

will cease to exist, like fading mist.

& this split minute, spent like a dime

is a distant memory in your mind.......

flawed interpretations
unintentional messes
obliterates my mind
& the heart, it oppresses
decisions are risky
social constructs are fragile
interactions give anxiety

If truth was a colour
                                     then man's colourblind
something in existence
                                            something you can't find.
If truth was a sound
                                             then man wouldn't hear
seen as a blurry
                                             yet something so clear.
If truth was a feeling
                                                      then man would be numb
or truth came with danger
                                                     yet man would succumb
If truth was a deer
                                              we'd be the hunters
like finding a rose
                                                           in the dead of mid-Winter
If truth was a sea storm

That drowns in curiosity

I wish I was manipulative
-not to manipulate anyone
but to avoid manipulation
to identify corruption
look deception in the eye
& have the guts to say goodbye
instead of getting caught in the aftermath
- feel my heart sink in realization
these unapologetic moments of reiteration
to evade the soul being scandalized
Or a reputation - vandalized
By their merciless malignancy
- the wisdom to not be fazed or paralyzed.
