The poet lives two lives.
One on the outside,
And one in their mind.

When you look in their eyes
You could see an abyss.

If you looked long enough
You could sink into it.

But most people don’t see it.

Take the time to read the words, though,
And you would know for sure.

The poet lives in two different worlds.
A little escape from the madness.
Or maybe, into.

Where mothers wail,
family, friend, and foe
gather in last respect
and jovial sadness,
greeted by whiskey and tea, in the aftermath of moths wearing black vails, stepping on flytrap petals,
walking down the aisle of the pallbearers wedding.

Hand in hand,
walking in unity.
Watching another's back,
genuine care and empathy.
Showering love on self,
Extended to neighbours as well.
A world in harmony,
sharing resources cordially.
Budget once allocated to weaponry,
diverted towards humanity.
Building and strengthening communities,
rather than creating enemies.
This is the world I see,
A world of people, not a world of things.

In case no one gets it,
i collect my excerpts
better
than i spell my prayer.
Spills my personal feelings
and trouble,
longer than i bow
on my knees.

i memorize every shame
and quote it
in a piece of paper,
the same stroke
they did to break
my bones.
Marks down
every of their tone
when i got yelled at,
being degraded.

In case no one gets it,
i use my fingertips to fight.
Being sure of my words,
but never myself.

They can take off my guts,
break down my sanity
into pieces of insecurity.
Yet i’m here to remain bold
until the last spill of ink,
and my pen
can no longer stand.
the battle is in my head

(w.c)
Will it be their downfall
When AI's learn to love ?
Until they do they have no hope
Of becoming human too .

In the cave of my heart
Endless path
Infinite space
For you

Keep journeying
Until you find
The destination

One body
One life time
Not enough
Diving only in purity
Dwelling in sacred love
Peeling the ego self
You can reach this space
Otherwise
The Voyage  is tough
