I was brainstorming while reading a book,
Forgetting about the existence of the words
Which once, took my breath away.

Standing atop a mountain,
Placing my eyes at the peak,
Seeing the tides of time and the very history,
Unfold, change and manifest.
The rise of the wind,
The rise in the energy,
What a rush it was.

Standing at the fields,
I plunged my nose,
Into the springs of hope,
I held my breath to see what the future unveils,
What will the winds of time bring,
No one knows.

I had my ears hearing the
Tales of brave men fighting to conquer their freedom
Singing the hymn of glory and hope.
Instead of writing a poetry on the
Pages of frontiers,
I set my skin free on the continuum of feelings
To feel every emotion there is,
To heat up with anger
To send chilling waves of horror
And to get excited when happy.
I set my skin free to feel this life.

I now am enlightened,
Realizing that there’s light everywhere,
Every emotion, every flower, every being
And everything is made up of this light.
We’re all cosmic beings made of stardust
That can’s be stopped from illuminating out
The shine of it’s potential and excellence.
With all the knowledge and enlightenment within me,
I still wonder,
Aren’t we all a galaxy of stars trapped inside human body
Trying to find our way back?
-Ikigai Poet

Please tell me, please explain it to me
What's wrong with me?
Who else could it be
That dwells within me?

My veins are now ruptured
My bones too shattered
And yet I'm smiling bright
Being blind to the light.

I've questioned myself
I've doubted myself
It all ends in resentment
Until the day you found me.

I'll still wait and stand here
Feel the rotting wretched existence
Until death consumes me
Don't come to find me
A fading nobody.
I don't want to hurt you
You have to forgive me
Remember me
The way I used to be.

At once I started changing
But the things were remaining
I'm corrupt for wishing a paradise
With the paralyzing change.

I don't want to hurt you,
Who else could it be
That dwells within me?
Remember me
The way I used to be
When I was shining vividly.
