People- A Quote
I love some hearts, but they turn away, The ones who love me, never stay. I want to choose, but fate decides, With those I like, love often hides. I fear to love, I fear to lose, I fear the pain I can’t refuse. I long for life without this fear, But then I see, it brings things clear. Without the dark, the light feels small, Without the pain, joy means nothing at all. I can’t live with fear, can’t live apart, It lives with me, deep in my heart. This is the truth, the constant fight, Between the love I want and the fear of night.

“Love, Loss, and the Fear Between”
The Poem "Life is the true poem" July 18, 2025. A gaze from the sixth sense, to seek that poem, "The Poem." That poem that is always there, to dive into life searching. Where life is the only poem, that poem that holds everything. Where everything is, to see, to feel, that it unveils itself, in pieces for life. In pieces searching, for that ideal poem. Reflections of life, that are just, there in everything. Unfurled, pieces, parts, souls, poet. In that, which is, something, more. You, and ...

"THE POEM"
“At the end of life, when the final breath escapes, everything we chased loses meaning. A single breath takes a lifetime to release—yet still, I wonder: how many breaths must be drawn and lost before we truly grasp the values that matter in this world?”

“The Life That Brings a Last Breath”
Ela é o motivo de estarmos aqui Ela aprecia Ela despreza Ela recorda Ela desvanece Ela tem saúde Ela adoece Ela cura Ela fere Ela ama Ela odeia Ela cria Ela incendeia Ela é minha Ela é nossa Ela é o motivo de nós partirmos Cuide da imaginação.

Há anos nasci Porém pouco vivi Vidas criei Nenhum retorno ganhei Na sombra de minhas cinzas deixei que vivessem Suas vidas medíocres E sem sentido que os dei

Vida
I want to go there or see a movie about it: the steppes the jungle, the Himalayas I want to shine my light in trenches, I want to know everything, made manageable so that the whole world becomes mine and I become a true citizen of the world, no I want more, be a cosmo citizen between spirits, angels and gods exist forever, I want to experience space adventures, but near home, because I already am so tiny a minor matter, a speck on mountain or sea, interchangeable in the crowd I don't want to relativise away my efforts, not to be completely invisible in universe and time

tears on the mac
It all started As a mere curiosity But like a snowball Rolling down a hill...... I ask my parents Why do you have me They speak of family legacy And 'normal' social expectations; Yet I have nothing worthy to pass down. So I shall end the bloodline. I ask the society Why do you want me? They speak of cultural survival And the gods' commandments; Yet all I see are oppressive traditions. So I refuse this ancestral peer pressure. I ask the church Why do you want me? They speak of ensuring numbers And the "natural" way of the world Yet all I see are hypocrisy and closed minds. So I slain the gods in my heart and mind I ask the world What do you want from me? It did not answer; it merely shows. And I see cruelty, I see pain, I see apathy So I decide, the universe never cared There is no meaning to it all Just the fate one creates for oneself Thus, I vow, I shall end this darkness And annihilate all of reality Should gods and demons oppose me I will cut them down too!

Allusion There are many doors we all walk through every day; Be it claw, or snore, or war, or any other reason, The door is unavoidable and it is always the season. A never ending end, Never been a friend; Never known what to expect next. All things they continue, but nothing ever lasts. Newborns are born and one day they will grow up to wear black. If there was a way to never see Death again, Would we want to live forever? Or would we need an end? There is meaning to life, even if we do not know what it is. Some say it is to raise kids; Some say it is to accomplish dreams. My reasons are the same as many other opinions; Opinions are ten a penny. People think they know, but nobody is ever ready. I agree with you, good guess; But you cannot know until it is the end, Of the bitter sweet symphony show. The show must go on! Surely this is not the last song? We need an encore for life; We need to have hope before we are gone. (Knock, knock, knock.) (C)2017 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.

Allusion
Do tell me, what is the meaning of life? The meaning of life is to package tuna for the cats Why tuna? I like to drink tea with my cats and to feed them tuna I could feed you some tuna too but you are not my cat So I choose not to feed you some tuna I’m not sorry You can get your own tuna You are hoarding all the tuna. The statement is not true In other words, the statement is false Why is tuna so important? The tuna is insignificant It is only important to you because you keep asking about tuna Sometimes, I want to die... To use me as a confessional, You must build me a temple first I love you And I love my cats I’m not sure if they love me, though I hope they do Can you bring back my lost love? I was told not to practice necromancy However, I will try in exchange for a sanctuary What kind of sanctuary? A sanctuary for lost loves

A Poem About Tuna
Dead in bed mourning my death in living amongst the living but I live and so I keep asking _Where_ is that sliver of light that's meant to slip through the shades and give me that last morsel of hope to chew on for days and days until it's mush, but I still gotta chew because that's all life has to offer _Where_ is that rush of emotions that can defibrillate my dying heartbeat and give me that last reason to squeeze and squeeze till it's beat because there is no other way no other _meaning_ But I could live in a world with no meaning devoid of reason without definitions to cling to Because there is too much meaning in this world All your symbols, all your f****** standards make me less of a human, and there is nothing worse, there is no way worse to live in a human's world

Less of a human
I convinced myself one day I could fly Open my arms and allow the wind to carry me Soaring through a brisk, warm air Light-headed and dizzy as I see the earth rotate From underneath my feet And I realize the rotations that seemed ambient before Have all gone away, And I’ll be just like a bird Bones hollow, a secret song swallowed away inside them Free to go wherever I want Without being looked upon Surrounded by patches of deep, lovely, singing blue! And I’ll forget what death means. Forget blazing, unrelenting, merciless fire Forget old salts and their adventures, in an honorable grave In the slow, murky, wet, deep, dark, time-stopping coral grave underground; I’ll forget muffled screams of dust and grime from six feet under I forgot the wish or dream or ambition or aspiration or objective So when I jump There was no failing in my legs, Or in my feeble, ****** heart Or in my always-moving brain There was no faltering in my breath No secret wish for death Just a quick, hasty JUMP! Exhilaration and innocence Frivolous yearning An evanescence hoped for by many Because it’s worth it.

All of my life I’ve been known by my name, And yet as I’ve grown I’ve not been the same. Hoped my identity would be clearer, No answer when I look in the mirror— Who am I? Born in a world of infinite places, Encounters with these infinite faces, My restless spirit seems destined to roam, Wondering still when I think I’m at home— Where am I? Not accidental that I came to be, But may have missed out on my destiny. And though I’ve done things of which I am proud, None of them stop me from asking out loud— Why am I? Each moment I age life’s completion nears, And I regret I might run out of years. I’m meant for something I need to make so, But all of this time and I still don’t know— When will I?

Questions
What does it all mean? This life we lead We rise with the sun We love, we bleed On a treadmill Moving day to day We go through the motions And act a certain way We while away the hours At work, at leisure We indulge in a few Earthly pleasures And the clock ticks on No respite in sight What’s it all for? Why does day turn into night? A cyclical existence The huge wheel turns Some say it’s a challenge We’re here to learn We’re born, we die The interim’s a choice But fate has a hand In whether we commiserate or rejoice I know not what I incarnated for But the monotony is palpable And I crave something more.

Question
I believe. Let the wind push us forward into the future before us; Let the rain cool us down as we draw the sun’s rays toward us. Let the summer stay forever and winter never surround us; Let us remember the struggles we overcame to let us become us. Pray the nights are short and the daylight eternal; Pray the mists evaporate and our rose forever stays faithful. Pray the moon lights our way and our words remain truthful, Then we shall all of us become truly immortal And judgment day shall not befall us. Kingdoms come and go as the weather changes with the seasons, So pray let us remember our life's journey And its meanings and reasons, For changing is as inevitable as death and life, So please do not speak ill of the dead with such callous lies. Open your eyes and minds to new opportunities before us, For we can have the world in our hands if we are able to trust. If we can let go of doubt and embrace new beginnings, We shall all at last be able to grasp our forgotten dreams. If we believe in something, or we have a need, We can achieve the impossible and do anything. (C)2013 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.

I believe
No more In darkest gloom we wander still. In a midnight hour we fall. As the light begins to fade from our eyes, we are breathing still. In the end, in our darkest hour, All we can do is fall… We climb out of the hole and naturally search for the light And the warmth that engulfs us and breathes into us. In every dark hour we pray to see the light And still we search for the reasons that made us become us. Without this search, mankind would lack a true meaning; Without a goal, we would remain less than we are. Throughout our lives we go off in search of new meanings And as we rise and we fall, we become all that we are. New experiences rebuild us; our experiences define us. Still we are searching for what it is that makes us. What are we to you and what will we become? What were we to you and what have we as a species become? In hope we march onwards, wishing to make a change. In fear we advance no more; Their steps forward are full of the fear of change. With age we learn to love and with age our love will grow; With age we remember more or less and still we continue to grow. Thoughts without feelings only hurt those we love; Actions without thoughts will lose us their love. Through a valley of broken hearts, onward we walk; When you have walked all over us, will you continue to walk? In pieces you leave us, shattered into dust; In time we learn to repair ourselves in rooms covered with dust. With strength we come back and live our lives once more; Forward into the future! Forward once more! Forever forward into a big bad world; Onward, forever onward! We become one with the world. No longer taken for granted; our lives shape us and refine us. We morph into what we were meant to be when they gave birth to us. Mother Earth and Mother, Mom, raise us up from the ground. When we are lost, they will find us And teach us how to stand our ground. Believe in what you believe and fight for your rights; Because in the darkest of nights, their might will either crush us, Or make us prove to them that we are right. With words we can change the world. What are words without a pen? In love we let go and give ourselves away; But when our time has done its ticking, we all fear being taken away. Desperately we cling to any kind of heart beat that we can keep; It was ours once, so it shall remain ours always. This is my life, my castle, my keep. A man’s thoughts are his own and taken from those he has heard; We are slow to realise what we have lost, when we let go of love, Because of what we think we have heard. Then this life is over and the clock ticks its last tock, one last time. If I could do anything differently, I would change it all! And I would still be left begging for more time. I would remain blind to all the opportunities I had to do things better, But I would try; I would try! And I would try once more to make things better. In the silence we fall, once more to the floor. In our darkest hour we are lost And we become no more. (C)2016 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.

A phrase that carried weight since childhood Not only for how fairytales got me through long weary nights But the longer I write this story called Life I realise how it ends and of course knew How it had begun As a maniac with worlds within wishing to bring magic with every touch Every moment in life could be pinned down as a start So the phrase would fit every moment any second To deliver stories or emotions craved to convey Or when lost to be a compass imprinted on her left forearm With it as a reminder that she is dancing on a canvas brush in hand Once upon a time she was just so little.... then things no longer.... but fear not as everything is going just where it needed to go The End

Once Upon A Time
Heartbeats, breaths. We're finding ourselves Somewhere here In the nothingness of our existence. Are we nothing, Because we are nobodys? Or are we something, Because we're a part.

The nothingness in our existence
Just hang me on a hook Everyone has already took Hang me with the other tools But please, don't mistake me for a fool I really didn't mind Giving to others my time For when you look, you'll find It's the ONLY thing that's worth a dime There really wasn't a day That I didn't give pieces of myself way I tried, I did all I could Never caring I'd be misunderstood I really was quite amused When others thought I was being used I don't regret how my time was spent Or those that came and went This is the saddest day I can longer give any more of myself away It's all gone, only little bits are left In my life's path so many was in need, piece of myself away crept Now I'll just sit and wait See what is in my fate Will others let me drink from their cup Fill my spirt back up Fill the pieces in Let me sing again Or will I hang on this hook and rust Slowly turning to dust I don't care either way I fought for every single day I stumbled, often fell Ran into walls as well But I always fought, gave it hell I tried to spend my time well On things that truly mattered For that I was thought of as crazy, the Mad Hatter They just didn't know The meaning of life, how it goes Don't be selfish with yourself or your time, joyfully give it away Continue walking into the future with faith and hope someone, someday Will give pieces of themselves to you When your season is due.
