Uncertainty
Is having its time
The chance of a lifetime
Leaving all, timelessly uncertain

The only chance it got
Before being
Outclassed
By certainty

The essence of life
To be and not
And the timeless flow


🌿🌿
YOU COULD DO IT

You'd do
it as long
you
believe
you could.
And
because you
could
doesn't
meant you
should. Be
good you
certainly
would.

We may not share the same path or length of time on life's journey.... but we do have in common that each day takes us one day nearer to its end.
Not difficult to see why I don't get invited to many parties.....

Right here,
In the eye of the hurricane
Everything makes sense.
Right here,
Everything is real.
And if the hurricane ends up killing me,
Oh well,
What a wild death would it be.

I've always been in between life.
It's always somewhere over being
uncertain and certain,
optimistic and pessimistic,
and introverted or extroverted.

Despite all that,
there's one thing I'm sure of.
It is holding on to dear life,
going along through it.

I am nothing more than human,
but I am my own future.
carpe diem. que sera, sera.

Fog
The fog's captives
were held
motionless
and entranced—
frozen
in a bearingless
nothing.
There had existed
within them
only a moment
of anticipation
as the grey
encased them—
vacillations
between the loss
of one world
and acceptance
of another.
As its vaporous
cold snaked
through their
clothes and into
their bones,
it whispered
a silent boast
of how quickly
they could be
made to forget
all they thought
they knew
to be certain.

Beyond boundaries
Shuttered blinds
Guessing lines on faces
all of those have saving graces
What we see is not always conceived
Payment in kind
Who do you know with certainty
and the effects we project
Before during and after
Do you understand yourself enough
to communicate through life

All
Time spent compounding knowledge from a foreign origin
“Be hold”, he chants
A figure of which she can’t see

Like a cold breeze on his forearms she looks anaesthetically into space
With drums beating in her chest,
She leaves his side desolate

Following the commands from a different plane
His reality unfolds layers stepping out of the truth
Dillusion saturates all that makes sense

His thoughts are overflowing with treasured momens left behind
He finds peace at the feet of his giant
All sense is lost
Sometimes when people disapprove of your thought process it leaves you in doubt of more than just your current situation

Do not be upset if you are not as fast as
you like,

Remember, big things move slow but they sure arrive.

On a Friday night we met.
Shakes and hugs, we shared.
You had a smile that was rare.
One which made darkness turn to light.

We would sing and laugh,
And share depth of ourselves at night.
Very unsure I am, if you see what I see.
My heart just skipped a beat, thinking of you.
But unsure I am, if you feel what I feel.

So silence I give, secrets I hide.
To keep myself from a broken heart.
But if you shine your light brighter
And look a little closer,
It's quite easy to see,
How much I love you.
