Even if you ask me, 'how are you?"
I'll say I'm fine, keeping the mask on.
Either I'm scared to tell you,
Or I don't want you to know this pain.

I'm better off without a savior,
At least this disease won't reach you.
You'll be safe, and smile,
Because this heart is under immense gravity.

It'll rip you apart into pieces,
And set me into flames.
You're far better than knowing the truth,
Because this darkness is beyond your control

This poem is part of my poetry series called- 'Shadows Within', which features poems related to depression, anxiety and loneliness.

What exactly is madness?
Go ahead. Google it.
That, there, is a slippery *****
Believe everything you see and soon
You'll fall in love with the madness

11.21.24

The arms of eternity open,
like a sentimental bolero played
at some in-between place,
they open lazily
and incandescently,
encircling the comically and silently raging,

Poetically, and gently,
the phantom draws her wings towards forgetfulness -
at the eye of the temple -
distant,
full of guidance
and potential.
The profound silence of bitter lives.

I have written so many poems
Where the darkness creeps in
And I have taken so many oaths
Written across my skin
To continue the battle

But every day becomes harder to take a step
And every breath weighs heavily upon my lungs
And the smile that crosses my face is no longer one of ease

Epistemological Entelechy's Maieutic

Epistemological Entelechy's Maieutic

Telepathy mentality's osteopathic prescience.  Futurity's fatidic,  retrospectively retroactive's omniscient ubiquity.  Infinite possibility's eidetic prospectus perpetrates incorporeity ideology's perfectible ontology.  Objectified manifest's dimensional delineation presages astral projection's mystic symbiotic existential extremity.  Exserted protuberance corporeally preternatural's dynamic progressiveness.  Distance traveled time spent's investiture annuities to capital appreciation equity.

Synergy!

Inebriating elixir this camaraderie prospectus perplexity.   Fecundity's exogamy with spatiotemporal telemetry's virility.  Propinquity habitation's harbingers of harangued.    Carousel ceaselessly ceremony chaos character charisma.  Extravagantly exorbitant flirtatious flamboyance, laboriously beleaguering hypercritically meticulous tedium.  Down here at the bizarre bazaar we all believe in the blasphemous farcical fugue-ness estranged ensemble orchestrations and all.

Some of us are even into the various assorted forms of related stranger weirdness, similar states of analogous contusion and ancillary subordinateness. Elan vital's apotheosis. The power of amendment.

memories

my hands remember
my hands remember

They remember the strings, lined across the frets

The remember the keys and how the chords connect

The remember the day, the first time I held a cigarette

and yet

today my hands forget...

lost in what I'm doing, my memories fade away
