The spilling pen some can call the pen a diamond that is found by a pickaxe? The stationery that can be more priceless and rarer to hate than diamonds —— / \ \ / — Diamonds then can't the 1st though then a ring? Cycles and patterns sometimes cutting through them can find something difference Differences aside who can be the 1st and the last to differentiate between the good and the sins Sin can be for evil not as in Sine Allah the best helper to shine —— / \ \ / —— Angles XYZ is this perhaps a lot of talk can we deliver and be caring? Sometimes trying to drill through it like √a=b = √a √b in a good way No matter the loss of hope through Allah's mercy anything beautiful halal can be achieved

Pentagon
Women can be men Men can be women People can be people We didn’t write the feeling... Stars can be supernovas Meaning can be mending And paintings can bend And walls can return... And shapes of architecture become earth Lovers can be lovers Leavers can believe us Lights, camera, action, order, disorder Dysphoria, euphoria Academia, abracadabra The moon, *** sun and laughter Instantaneousness Osmosis Fear, friction, distance, pure bliss Bubble toting aqua world Top this... Freedom, collaboration Emancipation, cognification Celebration... Millenniums of us saving, changing... What we actually are eventually... One surging sway of soul-light soldered angels Morphing from an oceanic abyss…

Spacelings
In shadows deep, where sorrows lie, The cuts we bear, they teach us why. With every tear, a tale unfolds, Of strength reborn and hearts turned bold. Through laughter’s light, and whispers low, We mend the wounds the world bestows. Each bandage wrapped with care and grace, Transforms our scars, reveals our face. So cast aside the weight of rue, For every hurt has crafted you. Embrace the past, let shadows fade, In every cut, our spirit's made.

Deep Shadows
My world is one where shapes collide — I act as a square that seeks solace, but it’s forced to abide, through life's tight rings, it strains to pass. Yearning for freedom, a lonely chance to amass. A longing to think beyond the lines it knows, for a simple shift —_the means to a spirit, that it actually grows._   As the nights call me softly, while days linger long, in the midst of their familiar chaos, I must muster my song. While the burden of now presses heavy and tight; slumber escapes me, lost away in the night. I wade through the shadows, each moment isn’t always a gem, in this fragile ballet, still I cherish them – boxed in my heart; in this life of a square.

Square shaped Heart
"Loosing weight is weird" I think as I stare at my naked body in the bathroom mirror. I don't feel how I thought I would. My anticipated joy had turned to relief, a burden I no longer had to bear. My soul has always been chaotic-always waging wars against itself, so of course this too would bring conflict. The clothes that clung snug to my skin are now too baggy. Clothes I finally felt confident after years of searching for what worked, what didn't, what was flattering, what wasn't. And now I'm looking up how to shrink everything And my ******* aren't as full.. sloping and drooping down without being rounded by fat; like tissues stuffed in a bra that's just slightly too big. Not to sound ungrateful, because I love this new body (it's an answer to prayer really; taking away the edge of my insecurities) but I suppose it feels a little foreign. Like a best friends house you practically grew up in: completely memorized in its familiarity; marked by memories, a home away from home, but still not the place you called "home". And I spent so long learning how to love this body; accepting her flaws, her imperfections, but never quite convincing myself, only to have to relearn again. And in some ways that makes me...sad? I don't have another word for it. Maybe it's a grieving, for the part of me that was a part of me for so long; a part I scolded and criticized. And I hate myself at times. Because I was my own bully-projecting my insecurities with verbal lashings. All because I had this idea that if I was prettier, skinnier, I would feel more wanted and less alone...that it was the missing piece to my happiness. And the assumed projections of strangers thoughts bombarded me into thinking there was truth in those hauntings, because somewhere down the line, at an unknown moment in my subconscious, beauty became abundant. I should get used to this changing skin, because life and age will always be forcing it to keep up, to adapt; It will continue to expand and sag and wrinkle and crease. And I hope I can learn to love those foreign bodies too, though not so unfamiliar....                            just unplaced.

Shapes (Senyrū/Haiku)
sometimes, The time it takes to curate a reality Where The eyes of a hostile reflection Don't contribute to, but consume- the moment's prison of littleness... Is it not possible? To escape eternity's hour's ceaselessness? Hope, is too short; we perpetuate- it takes shape. we preform, then placate.

Shapelessness of Love I am a logical person I think in polygons and geometry But you come around and the shapes fall apart Into meaningless squiggles on a page. There is nothing more beautiful than the shapelessness of love.

Le Coup de Foudre No. 25
Enjoy the madness, its Mortemer's dance! Swishing and turning its not wishy-washy, Slashing and cutting the shapes! Oh lord the shapes! Slicing and spinning then boom! Red confetti. Look at him go in his marvelous trance! Spinning and cutting the dance spins in circles as the audience cries 'now do the slip and slide!' So he slides in real slow now he's in his mojo He's feeling himself as he's breaking it down. Its him and himself in his spotlight lit solo, A pool of composure for his one final flourish; A swish and a slit, moves never seen before. The big grand finale and the crowd goes bananas! There's roses on roses, they pile on the stage! Mortemer's touched by such lovely affection from a crowd of individuals with no connection. He'll lie on the stage and soak up the praise. His roses smell sweet, and his roses are plenty.

Mortemer's dance.
Lights and all the shades That its shapes throw, Etched along the path of its travel Are the moments it creates Where we're wasting away The time of our lives In the hope that a beam Will wash it all away, Give us the enlightenment For which we all pray Let the wave of brightness Pass through the keyhole Of this dark room of life, Make you look impeccable While in reality You're only Dusting yourself off, Picking up the pieces left over In the wake of destruction Caused by your own self, The smile is unreal, Not fake You still carry hope In the middle of all the cries Some days you fall, Other days you shall rise.

Lights
I wish I could see how I look behind the mirror... without any light, or surface. How would I appear without my reflection? I wish to take the journey into that vast expanse of formlessness where nothing matters: shapes, colours and even movements. A trapped shadow harbours a similar desire!

Behind the mirror
I was a circle in a room full of squares so I became a square The square's all decided to be circles so I became a circle again They told me I wasn't a "proper" circle I wasn't doing the circle thing right Then I moved into the light to find that they were all triangles They thought that they were circles but they were blind I was a circle in a room full of squares who did not think that I belonged there Yet I was the only one who could see my true reflection

Shapes
“All my roses like to go,” He says looking outside. “I am sure they’ll come again, In the spring they’ll come out, Wherever they do hide, And I’ll be able to rest.”          Something has eaten my flowers...again     And I am not sure who to blame.     I take such nice care of them     But they never seem to grow.     Maybe there is a mole…     Yes feasting away my crop     Or perhaps I am too early     And the chill has made them stop.     I say laments and I cry     But all I ever do     Is shrivel up and die.          I will try something else,     Roses always die too soon     I will try something else!     And then I do nothing.     Weeds and vines grow about     Clogging my drains as they sprout.     My garden feels empty     All I want is one thing     But then I'm left with plenty.          You once had a nice presence     Here some time ago     But then one day you stopped     And left me all alone.     Roses, they are telling me     That I am not the one they want     Somehow I’m not good enough     And I should just stop.     Barbous thing you tricked me     Was it ever mine to want That i gave you all the conditions And you gave me naught. So I look in puddles And hear about others success But all I do is wilt And in it I regress. I feel like gypsum A minor step in between     Stale and used     Time has expired for me.     Why are there so many vines,     Why is there so many weeds,     All vexing me in all directions     I wish I could fall asleep.     My face is cracking plaster     As I start to weep     I feel my mind sinking     And I start to dream.     You are the ****** one     With little of success.     I am the ****** one,     They know what is best.     I changed everything     So i could be adequate     I played the role they liked     But in the end I am looked at     In bitter thoughts and spite.     There is a curious thing growing in my garden. The vines have blossomed And the weeds bear fruit. Is this the allure of sadness Or just an unrealized truth Because I sit and look At the thing I ignored. So here I take What has been given And we brush away The mistake I’m living So stop with all this fake peace You should have been Honest with me. So find some sugar songbird, You can bury me alive. But I’m not the one Having something to hide. Here is my garden, There is plenty of space And i don’t want to live Under your passive glance. Here is my chance I’ll try to let go. But I am the memory of someone They will always know.

Shadows dancing on the wall They never fall Conjuring shapes of all disguises Elongated limbs Faceless Daylight They run away Night They follow you Every corner of every street Waiting

Dance of the shadows
The veins of my eyelids a sharp toned red transforms into a blinding white my eyes swivel to peak at the sun I want the light to seep into my bones longing to instead be a plant slowly photosynthesizing It would be easier perhaps, to whisper sweet nothings to the wind rather than tightening my throat strangled by my human body the grief never quite leaving my lips Shadows cross my bedside shapes of blowing leaves tumble over as the sun turns her head west I watch the flurries of colors pass by

Small circles, friends, habits, family. Small cycles, seasons, habits, family. Small circles because... seasonal friends. habitual cycles. familial circles. Small cycles because... habitual friends. seasonal habits. familial circles. Family cycles caused... circular habits and... seasonal friends and... circles of habits and.. seasonal family... cycles of circles, circles of cycles, cycles of circles that spiraled me earth-ward, circles of cycles that spun me sky-ward. Circles of habits that turned me inward. And then breaking cycles that turned me outward. Sometimes a broken circle is closer to perfect. Tri a new Angle.  Sometimes square is better than circles.

A Poem for Squares.
This wasn't what he'd expected, since a wee little one,        contorting the edges of fallen wood made thin. What was rectangle became a triangle,            what was just plain became more. No fingers were used, a mind is a wonderous thing,                                  Never wasted on this little one.      Creation, Imagination, as parchment clean crisp, contorted to conception. But when it went wrong             it rained snow flakes of ruptured imaginings, Jagged and torn, papercutting those close. Tears fell from his eyes as sorrow for skin bleed not deep, but any more would have been a torment. A thousand papercuts from a moment of             frustration could turn paper crimson. From that interim, knowing the power paper had, be it words shapes, meaning.        Learning that contours have potential and wording on it was a powerful influence on others. So began his journey as origami butterflies              fluttering around him, calmness followed.             Here child, as he handed a swan, and it swam upon the innocence of there hand, and he walked onward.

Paper Is More Than Just Splinters
It's best on the carpet kneeling over clippings vogue magazines and national geographic ******* from some early year I cut them up and paste them sense of control of placement tall cotton socks two-dimensional nothing digital shapes in shapes any way I like it torn edges blue paper make waves for imaginary boats capture a memory a moment in a scene you can hold make your own what could be better than that?

Drawing pictures, is graphite make-believe. You can bring life, or darkness. Are you god? Do you have control? Scribbles, judgments, of squares, circles and unhappy faces. Crumble up, the paper tightly. Throw away, let go. Maybe its time, To start over.

Drunk & Confused
Knee slap, diaphragm control, living room, bass boosted, ceiling fan casting an X shape, blonde locks, same songs, robots & girl futura, love, *** existence, drugs, dancing along if you find the nerve. How do I put this compact view into words? Fleeting, farewell, at large, unheard. What is it that you deserve? Whatever your meat tape, twisted, desires. What is love to me? To be, at all, near or beside you. Tragic for me, as millions, lessons learned eventually maybe learned too late.
