To Whom It May Concern,

The person writing you now
Is a person never seen
And never heard before
They have put so much work
And so much time
Into being better just in case
You ever bump into them
They have focused on the traits
The habits and impurities
That those before you hated
They have built themselves
In the image they were provided
With tools found lying about
They aren't finished by any means
But they hope you accept them
And won't destroy their work.

Best Regards,
The Person

down ya go

when it comes
there's that
feeling
and now everything
begins to
slip
when it passes
there's no
feeling
and now everything
continues to
slip

AFTER DEATH - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS

After death,
I will not be gone—
I will be wind, touching your skin,
I will be silence, deep within.

The body fades, the name dissolves,
But the soul—
The soul returns to the rhythm of stars,
To the breath before beginnings,
To the light that dreams all forms.

There is no end,
Only a door swinging inward.
I become the question and the answer,
The seed, the flame, the sky undone.

I will not speak,
But you will feel me in stillness—
When time pauses,
And your heart remembers
That it too is part of the infinite.

Death is not loss,
But a returning to source.
A merging with the song
That sings through all.

So do not mourn—
I have not vanished.
I have returned to everything.

Poorly Rein

You were asking me to lead
Someone at my level I match wits
And I doubt — it was peculiar
That yought suitor eminently decodes a liar
’Cause there is no amount of time to tell
What makes it desperately disparate?
***** hush-hush, lad has no regret
Such insult to the phantom you won’t get.

Just to feel the freedom — I must exist
When everyone's deeply in love
While I’m deeply indifferent
Perhaps, I abated my level
Through the braids of disenchantment
To the slave of obscurity
Finally... the lingering sparks flew away
And now you are asking me to leave.

The Fruits of Summer Fade

Another typical bright summer Tuesday,
On the left side of the road, it was my dismay
As we both head north — to bricks you call home
And to bricks no matter, I termed dome
For how long I wish to un-recall
A talk would never bend the wall.

I am not the one who’s standing on thin ice
Moments my heart to explode, I felt the haze
Your palm was covering the west part of your face
Shadows that meant beneath your feet with ease,
Hiding from the sun that has been always in the east.

To whom were your empathy in disguise?
Be one of my achievements — all I asked for
Only to ghost the reflection of good rapport
I never knew you would belong to hundreds I once had;
The revelation I would never be prepared in olympiad
That’s how I conclude during months of my isolation,
One's age does not define one's sophistication.
