Sometimes,
you need to sing
to yourself—

just to remember
you are still heard.
A date?
I don’t know.

Your love—
is it fake?
Maybe.

Why did you take my number?
Just to know.

And now,
what will this be?
Perhaps a story
already fading into smoke.

Let’s pretend
we never did a thing.
you left today
tomorrow is uncertain
the day after
already too late

i tell myself
you are poison
take this chalice away

but memory betrays me—
the wine
the heat
my body in yours

and the truth—
i fell
you didn’t
One day, when time stopped running,
I saw the plain frame and silver threads
suspended like a gentle wind
above the breathing horizon of lost origins.
I sipped frequencies from the air,
as though I could gather them
into fragmented mosaics.

The Tower of Babel of misunderstanding
melted into a single vivid image
composed of scattered syllables.
I found myself on the margin of a notebook
coincidence, or a sense of density?

No one will change the flow of a rushing river.
Everything has been planned.
Who will take away dreams?
Symbols, premonitions?

All that I remember from
The future still lives in my skin.
The rest are only fears and mistakes,
The choices never taken,
The ones that carry me here.
I try to catch the present
returning to inevitability.
Its running away is the reason
I’m still breathing.

I know the stars are still there in the morning
But I keep asking
“Are the stars still looking at me?”
Guiding with their dim light so I can see

Hope flickers, and I look at the sky
Stopping my urge to cry
Asking if the stars will guide me in this life
Will I still be guided by their blinding light?

Like a moth
you draw me in
over.
and over again,
you corrupt me
every inch of me burns
but only when i'm near you.
It's a feeling i yearn for
i thrive for
i need the pain.
i always thiink the concept of a moth to a fame as a sense of uncertainty

I find such comfort in the phrase ‘you only live once’
Because I can’t imagine doing this all again.
I never want to witness the leaving of light from someone’s eyes,
Never want to be tossed in the endless tide of monotony,
Never want to collapse from my hurricane brain,
Never want to curl up and wish to be taken to a dark silent eternity.

I pray there is no afterlife,
No endless time existing.
I only want it all to end,
To have a complete lack of anything.
I don’t want to meet the grim reaper,
Or greet God at His pearly gates.
I simply wish for nothing,
To live once, truly,
So I need not feel this way
Forevermore.
you will see his eyes
and think it is love

but the danger is
we stay
when we should leave

a stone
turns into a mountain

do not give
your love
to empty hands
If you think that you're 'over the hill'
there's a pill you can take
it'll make you feel brand new
and ready once more for the climb.

but you know it's all a bit Sisyphus
when
they call you by name, and it's
Narcissus.

No pills for me
herbal tea will be just fine
