journaling of emotions?
    expressions of the heart?
        externalizing of thougts
            cathartic musing
                a rorschach test
                    therapy?
                        art?

dreams of love

the black box
called the mind
a byproduct
of physiology
dreams of love
a phantasm
of the heart
so two
can become
one

pareidolia

it doesn’t exist
it’s a creation
of a black box
called your mind
absurd insane
pareidolia of the eye
seeing factuals
hoping there is order
terrified of the nothingness
pleading for grace
from a divine

spring summer fall winter of youth

youth ephemeral fleeting
only blooms during spring
attracts lovers in summer
fades in the gentleness of fall
dies in the icy blue of winter

this fairy tale

this fairy tale
called love
is an illusion
a distraction
a respite
from the brutality
of the human condition

the last dawn

the last dawn
never ending
eternal
everlasting
sleep of a mortal

a sand mandala
drawn then destroyed
who will remember
once you’re gone

the sun sets
for the last time
Horus closes
his eyes

as you slowly
die

the deeper you go

the deeper you go
fewer will follow

the deeper you go
words are profound

the deeper you go
the truth is closer

the deeper you go
the soul is found

POEMSPLAIN: i've noticed when i write a "hallmark card" 1 or 2 line poem it gets a lot of views, but when i write longer, more profound poems, they get few reads or comments
