A poem I wrote titled “The union of breath and silence”
In the quiet embrace of dusk, where shadows stretch and light begins to fade, life dances with death, a waltz of whispers, each step a heartbeat, each breath a sigh, the pulse of existence tethered to an unseen thread. Life, a vibrant flame, flickering with fervor, invites death into its rhythm, an unyielding partner clad in mystery, each moment steeped in desire and dread, as a man stands at the edge of his own becoming, facing the horizon where dreams collide with finality. He recalls laughter woven through the fabric of days, the texture of joy intertwined with loss, a tapestry rich with the colors of longing, and the inevitable hues of sorrow’s embrace, as he grapples with the weight of his own heart, craving the warmth of connection, yet haunted by the specter of all that must fade away. Death, not the enemy, but a lover's close friend, reminding him of his fragility, each day a gift wrapped in the bittersweet, a tender kiss upon the forehead, echoing all that once was, and all that shall ever be. In twilight’s stillness, he finds himself adrift, lost in the interstice of hope and despair, where dreams shimmer like distant stars, and every heartbeat becomes a testament to a soul yearning for meaning, its essence entwined with shadows of the past. Together, they traverse the seasons, life’s bloom a prelude to the fall, each blossom a promise, each wilt a release, as death cradles remnants with reverence, and the man learns to honor cycles, to see beauty in decay, to find solace in the inevitability of return. In this duality lies the sacred truth, that deep love is found in every fleeting moment, in the space between breaths, where life and death entwine, a dance eternal, ever spinning, where endings become beginnings disguised, and in the man’s heart, a profound understanding that to embrace life fully is to walk hand in hand with death, an ever-present shadow, not to be feared, but to be celebrated, for in their union, the essence of existence unfolds, a deep love echoing through time, binding the fleeting and the eternal, the heartbeat of a world forever intertwined.

This was inspired by a book I am reading called "This Is How You Lose the Time War".

Tracing skies
🌹 I trace the sky with my fingertips, wondering if you feel it too. The moon watches over both of us, but I wish it could speed up time. Distance has nothing on us. I’m anchored to you, even when the space between us feels like an ocean. #poem #writing #thoughts #love #dating

A poem I wrote titled “The edge of farewell”
Saying goodbye feels like tearing a page from a book that isn’t finished, as if the words we’ve yet to say will float somewhere, unheard, caught between the silence and the weight of what’s left behind.

A poem I wrote titled “Tears in the rain”

Misunderstood
🌹 They paint my image with their fears, A canvas colored by their sneers. But they don’t know the battles fought, Or the strength in every thought. Mistreated by their shallow view, I stand alone, yet always true. For in the quiet, I reclaim, The person they could never... read more

Unveiled, Unbroken
I wear what speaks my soul, Yet they judge me for the skin I show. My clothes are my canvas, not your shame, But they paint me in the colors of disgrace. You call me bold when I stand tall, As if my body defies your comfort. I am more than the fabric that clings— More than what your eyes refuse to... read more

Have you ever thought that poetry is stupid?
I'd say I'm an avid poet, always writing my emotions into what I already consider an art. But have you guys ever reached a point where you think that sharing your poems is meaningless? I've always dealt with my emotions by channelling them into poems, mainly because no one cares enough to listen... read more

In the twilight's gentle embrace, we meet, Where shadows dance and hearts discreet. A love so deep, yet fraught with pain, In a world where echoes of sorrow remain. Your touch, a whisper in the night, A fleeting moment, pure and bright. But time, relentless, pulls us apart, Leaving scars upon my... read more
