Here I sit,

amongst a silent chaos.

Desperate to find that

poetic literary justice

to my current life.

Yet,

here I sit,

finding nothing-

but feeling everything.
your eclipse Jan 2021
and yet even in the
midst of this chaos
there is a flower
blooming beneath you
[there must be a flower inside you. there must be; there has to be.]
Hammad Jan 2021
The noise inside my head
is so loud
that it doesn't let my voice in

and yet,
Something in it changes
all the chaos and swirl
fall into silence
when You Speak...

One afternoon,
Darkness occupied my room.
Flashes of memories made it gloom.
You left me hanging, feeling doomed.

I was alone with a shattered heart.
Drowning in thoughts, bleeding into the night.
Completely lost, nowhere to be found.
Like our dreams that are buried on the ground.

And then suddenly, a ray of light blow past.
Right through the tip of my champagne glass.
My old self was awakened, the war has ended.
The battlefield fades, turned into safe haven.

In the middle of my chaos, I found her.
Guiding me across, holding me there.
Arms wrapped around, every now and then.
She was there and it felt like home again.

Screams all around me,
There's chaos I cannot control.
Yet there's a subtle calm inside me,
Because I don't get into trouble.
I watch the flying words of hate and anger,
Curling its hands around the throat of its victim.
They don't know, you cant choke someone who doesn't breathe freely
Amidst the noise, my cry for help is still the loudest.
If only someone were to hear me.
I don't know. There were fights around me and I wanted to be the better person and not respond to any of them. Hence this lil piece was born.
Ileana Amara Jan 2021
chaos kissed my soul,
whispering "play with words,
tear apart the whole,
then break your heart,
with your own hands
on the hilt of the sword."

Where once we met,

Passion stirred breezes for winds to form,

And drenched our hearts in it's growing storm.


Like clashing clouds each enveloped the other,

Releasing energies no depression could smother.


A thunderstorm raining lightning bolts,

Shamelessly shedding light in blinding jolts.


Water and Air, spinning, mixing, churning.

The chaos was music, the eye in a hurricane of yearning.


Oblivious, we destroyed, even as we created,

Endangered life as surely as rain sustains it.


The chaos of our perfect storm turned against us,

No music now, only the raging tempest.


Winds of passion calmed, storm-fronts collapsed within,

And the last teardrops of rain fell unforgiven.


Silence stretched, louder than any thunder,

Broken, after so long, by hope barely uttered.


With care hope grows, uplifts, and inspires,

Then sings of life, and love, and of passion like fire.


Testament to life, though unaware,

A butterfly batting its wings, stirring the smallest breath of air.


Now, a field of butterflies rise from dreams and cocoons,

A thousand tiny gusts of hope, born anew.


Innocent, they move the very sky,

Fledgling winds, breezes learning to fly,


Rising high above the meadow where they were born,

Quietly whispering prayers, of becoming a storm.

My thoughts fail to keep in check
Are too shocking to share
I keep the madness hidden
Under layers of clothes I wear

Whether world approves or not
Of cares I will never know
Am better off with them tucked away
Secrets secured down below

I will not display my demons
The words they say
Keeping them confined
Where games they play

This is my cumbersome burden to bear
Belonging to me alone
Trying to corral
Out of line
Never staying in my comfort zone

To be insane
Greatest fear
Cage any chaos within
The weakest parts of me
To body I am living in
I try to suffer silently but it shows in the way I move and the way I talk and even in the way I breathe
GQ James Dec 2020
I'm in a jungle filled with animals,
Them noises get louder and louder,
When is the chaos gonna calm down?
Will the chaos ever end?
Long as I been around it's gets worse,
I took notice on many things,
I've decided to get out the way.

I tried to put an end to things,
Then I realized there's nothing I can do,
It's up to the universe,
I'm stepping out the way,
Stepping to the side,
Stay in my bubble,
Remain in my lane.

There's nothing left on the brain,
Mind is empty,
System is empty,
Emotions are empty.
NOTHING LEFT TO SAY.
Rollercoaster Dec 2020
New dew on the lush olive green leaves,
coherent chaos awaits.
Yes, we can.
