Pendulum

Wave goodbye
to the bright-colored pixels
moving on LEDs.

Wave goodbye
to the smile not tied to strings,
made to curve by the puppet master.

To and fro,
to the people who laughed with you,
called them friends
back when they were all you needed.

Swing, pendulum, swing—
to the times you swung around
in ignorant bliss.

This isn’t a goodbye,
young one.
You have been killed,
but you will live on
in memory.

Camille 4d

Reigniting the Flames 🐦‍🔥

Burnt, exhausted, my wings dried up
Soaring too high, Icarus was once now dead.
Drowning with my corpse, I lost hope.
My fiery eyes lit up once again.
I did not give up hope, I rose.
As the Phoenix rises upon its ashes, it begins to soar greatly once again.
It did not falter.
It did not fall.
It soars up high once again, but did not fail.

No matter how many times you fall, don't be afraid to get up and try again. Don't be afraid of your failures and mistakes for that is why and how we learn so many things in life. With all other successful people who have tried, don't be afraid to fail.

Zywa 4d

[ In the dark night sky ]

In the dark night sky

the river sings over stones --

its bittersweet song.

Song poem "El rio despierta" ("The river awakens", 1924, Antonio Machado), collection "Nuevas canciones" ("New songs")

Poison

Existing with that constant pain
Deep in the epigastrium,
The soft tissues twist and turn,
Fold and mold into the most painful shapes.

The acid pumps into your tubes—
It burns! The acid takes shape.
It gets stuck in the throat,
It blocks the pipe at a junction.

Breathe... breathe... breathe...
Air won’t pass to the lungs.
Arms grasp at the throat and chest—
What a useless instinct, evolution.

The geyser will erupt;
The vocal cords tense to resonate,
But you resist
To avert strangers’ eyes.

All this swirling and whirlpools—
The mind can’t take,
Though it’s a construct of its own demise.

Through the heart, emotions unfold—
They strangle the rest of the body.

O! My love! This poison in my soul—
Your words, your touch, your love:
The only antidote.

Saudade 4d

ეკრანი მღვდელი

I
კუთხეში ზის და მიცქერს მე შავად,
ხმა აქვს თბილი, ცივია შხამად.
მკარნახობს დილით, მკარნახობს ღამით,
გულს გადაუსვამს მცხუნვარე კარაქს.

მომმართავს ასე: აიღე, ჭამე!
ეს სიმართლეა - დილა თუ ღამე.
ვუყურებ ხოლმე, ვივიწყებ ისევ,
რომ ჩემი თავი ოდესღაც ვანდე.

მასწავლის სახით, მწყემსივით მიდგას,
ყოველ დღე მიცვლის სიახლეს, ამბავს.
ყურის ბალიშში ჩურჩულებს რბილად:
„მე შენ მიყვარხარ, მიყევი ამ ხმას".

ნელ-ნელა აშრობს თვალიდან ცრემლებს,
ბუნების ფერს და სიჩუმის გამას.
და როცა მოვკვდე, მაინც ჩამძახებს:
რეკლამის შემდეგ კვლავ დარჩი ჩვენთან!

II
ეკრანი ბრუნავს, ჭკუას გირეცხავს,
მტერს დაგიხატავს და გულში მარხავს.
სინათლეს გიქრობს, რომ ბნელში იჯდე,
თვითონვე აწყობს ცხოვრების ხაფანგს.

Sunrise 🌄

A white light shines the sky
From midnight blue to Persimmon orange, the morning twilight starts
A hopeful, blissful face basks in its glowing rays
Coffee brown, golden, sparkly skin shines with a glow like no other

The space costs

In the space
Electricity model from space deliver you in time
You bring what away from earth
