#darknessandlight
hey!
you
there
in the dark
come into the light
i cannot see you
is that you
baring your teeth at me
or are you grinning
at my
unknowingness
that's it
don't be shy
it's just the glare
cascading off the reflection
of the wading pool
shining back
at you
at me
at us
together
in this
darkness
but
if we come into the light
we can dance
ripple the water
& change the tide
until it
no longer knows
where you begin
& i end

The darkness takes me, rises and falls again.
The tunnel opens and stretches along my path.
An angel, perhaps you can stop me from my miserable fate.
You are the light that accompanies me and manages to bring me back to the surface.

Where do stray wishes go to?
To the well of eternal darkness
floating in the chasm of hopelessness?
or to where the harp rings bright and loud
where the world is made of wings and melodies.
Where do unburnt letters go to?
To the drain of filth and roaches?
where every dream seems to end anyway
or to the heart of those meant for
mine got lost in the darkness anyway.
Where do you keep this sorrow
this longing, this emptiness
My heart feels full while it devours itself
from one person to another
never to find its home ever again.
So I keep my chest tight while it aches
never to let another see
never to let them feel this pain
Will they ever understand
or will I be forever lost in this maze?
But my heart rises again like Lazarus
only to fan those flames
Where does so much hope comes from
from my empty abyss
and why does it hide when i need it again?

a life reflected in my tear— feels like
a whole ocean held in glass, _shattering_
as it dries across my cheek, breath
breaking shallow, thoughts spilling faster
than my lungs can keep.
and just when I reach for life, it drags back—
almost like smoke on a cigarette: each
inhale a promise, each exhale a quiet theft.
so time bites like an apple, sweet at first
taste, but rotting me slowly down
to the core.
wait... I found the colour of prayer
in the grass, my knees pressed low
until the earth became an altar.
to bend is to grow, to kneel is to root—
but the more I chase what isn’t mine,
the more pieces of myself scatter like
loose change, spent out on illusions.
so I pack away the versions of me—
drawers filled with colours, some bruised
like dusk, some bright as flame;
stitched together, I am still made of light,
even if the lamp inside me flickers.
and by the lovely darkness—
my contradiction, my just cathedral—
know my soul will ignite in an instant,
even if the tunnel stretches endless.
because it is darkness itself that makes
light _Undeniable_.

I was always afraid of loneliness—
and more than that, the dark.
It made everything feel heavier.
I cried quietly when no one was around.
I chased the light,
but it never chased me back.
It passed over me like I didn’t matter.
So the dark stayed—
not by choice, but by nowhere else to go.
At first, it scared me,
but then I saw what the light never showed.
The dark didn’t demand my smile.
It let me fall apart without questions,
gave me space to breathe.
Now I sit with it quietly,
and the shadows finally feel like home.

The world of lies, with hollow eyes,
No, it is not the place for me.
You know I'm lonely—so lonely,
No one beside me, lost in the sea.
I long for a soulmate to carve a name
In the golden sands by the restless waves.
But the tides will come and wash it away—
Who do I turn to? Who will stay?
The sun exists, yet hides at night,
Just like me—I seem alright,
But deep inside, I fight my plight.
This world is a shadow, near in light,
Gone in the dark, out of sight.
This world won't change, I know it's true—
But one day, gold will come to you.
Let the dogs bark, let them sneer,
One day, their voices will disappear.
If they won’t let you fly, walk the sky,
If they block your path, keep moving by.
Push ahead, no matter how,
Chase your dreams, don’t stop now.
Without pain, life is incomplete,
Wings will sprout, though your back may bleed.
This world won’t change, but still, I try.
I am alone, lost in the night.
I don’t know when or how I’ll fall,
But I know—again—I’ll hit the floor.
****** tears from words that sting,
Yet life sways like a see-saw swing.
One day you're high, one day you're low,
But through it all, you learn and grow.

prepare to shudder,
prepare to have demons taunting you,
playing disturbing games with your soul,
with a calming darkness and scary happiness.
Staining your hands with a metallic substance,
marking the walls of the invisible.
This is what happens when you touch my soul.
Creatively ugly but mouthing the word pretty.
Be careful.
It's like I was touched by this ebony, fair eye angel with two sides.
Soaring with bloodless and sullen wings.
But there is happiness, somewhere...
Sometimes presenting itself like a optical illusion,
adding mystery to my image.
