Esther Nov 2017
Retracted are these tendons -
Resolved on remaining in their calcified cages;
When breath arrives, it is blown back
And when warmth envelopes, it is posted away promptly.
Seeking only that which is ineffectual -
Side-tracking all traumatic pain
For the comfort of the constant daily struggle.
Speaking only to the bleak and familiar
In colours reddish and blue to the coloured lens above its eyes;
A body of uncomfortable comfort and avoidant pleasure
Sits upon its earthly thrown and ponders -
Ponders all that it will reject today and the day after.
Colm Nov 2017
Blank
Is the mind within the pages of these
The books of forever
The eternal novels
Which line the wall of consciousness
But never open to eyes awake*

I could add more but you wouldn't believe me
Sleeping giant
A yarn about how a human both can and cannot in thought.

I want to feel
feel so deeply
until I feel so full
I want to run
run so fast
until I cannot feel
as long as it makes me whole.
I just want to feel whole
I just want to scream life
I just want the emptiness
for once in my life
TO LEAVE ME ALONE.

It's not related with being blazed, I swear
It's just the effect of homemade breakfast and inhalete its fragance
And hear the sizzle of the rain moaning through the window
It's the tender touch of my finger tips on the cat's ribs
The little holes on my socks where my feet breath
It´s the blood coming out from where I'd cut my nails too deep
The cobwebs shinning on the lamps
And the connivance with the ants and lizards in my room
It's the effect of laying on a bed of fresh sheets
Or surrender to the light of an insipid movie
It's rise my gaze at the glowing dampness of my ceiling  
It's my house entering by my arteries and filling my rhyme's saturated ventricles
It's the vampire of the time & memory & mirrors & white rabbits & multicolor smiles of a tired sun
It's feel laughs in the silence and love in melancholia
By tomorrow I'll get out of my daily routine, I´d hope come back alive
Apoorva Oct 2017
When sun sets down
And the darkness of night
Swallows the earth
We do the same thing
Again and again
Totally unaware, unhinged
Resting and pretending.
We dance to the beats
Without  music and words
In a steady pattern
Nothing to fear?
Lost in Paradise
But not aware of it.
.
So,
Choose the day
And then choose your way
Don't be shy or pretentious
One day, you shall be glorious
If you choose to fight
Then do it every night
And remember, life is pain
So, don't let it go in vain
Be free
Be free
"As long as you can be"
