Chances seem high that I sink so low tomorrow— where do I return the belongings of my skin, stitched too tight with sin? And is there a good intention I can borrow? To call love a bullseye, but it's just something darting past me; for a lap dog on the leash of longing can’t run free—it only circles the grass. As I fuel my odds at a gas station lot; feathers searching for a birdie; practicing my golf swing, hoping for a hole in one— or just putting one in a hole. "Find a stable life," they say, but the horse track is empty, where hooves never sound, and only echoes of betting slips. Online, some search for a type, the screen listening to the type of fingers. But knowing is never seeing, and belief needs more than a glow of pixels. "Good grief"— so cried the one who buried their beliefs, but they still dug the dirt back smooth, as if planting a seed for tomorrow. Till we're gone, we'll always have tomorrow.

Beliefs Buried in the Rough
I am lost — __without a horizon__. Tell me: what is it like to live without a conscience? Learning how to freefall in the golden patterns of parachutes, each moment feels like sunrise blooming in my eyes. Dreams are like aged photographs, as we live in their flat silence, posing in fragments, dancing around opinions in wide, unguarded smiles. But under a blasting sun, its rays hit like bullets piercing ivy-orange through my chest — _autumn-hued_ wounds that hope to shimmer like the gleam of sunset. So I gather what glows, from scattered light and broken frames, trying to make warmth from splinters, and to name it hope. _Even in freefall, there’s beauty in how we land._

Sunset Parachutes
Love is confusing these days Some say it never stays The others claim It only comes after some time, When you and your partner Left the infatuation behind. Some say Love is spiritual, It is the truth, the energy, that holds the universe in an embrace... It was always here and in our hearts it remains. Each verse shows me Whatever love means or is meant to be - I know less and less But at least I confess My pure unknowingness
