What dreams are made of
Of high held messy buns and brown curls cascading down your face. Shadows of triply fingers and happy smoke on grimy white walls. Of that matchbox Bally-gunge apartment with streaming sunlight and sloppy dancing. 'Our Fortress Of Solitude'. Of bare backs and collar bones with scars as souvenirs. Of nail carved flesh that reeks of Dove and whiskey. Of distracted half read stories and sun kissed lips. Craving for more. Much more. Of cha-ffees and the clueless 'Don't worry', I know where I am going. Burn the old letters. Box away the rotting shreds of yesterday. Tease the tormentor. Make love. Psychoanalyze the devil and chop his tail off. Taste the sublime ruins of what was. Dance to what is. What will be, just will be.

The Rain Cries
A night where I stayed up late and watched the rain for a few hours. Being present in that moment was so peaceful. I've never posted my poetry before... so please be kind. 😅

Title Me
One breath. Then two. Eyes that see a blur of the world. Ears that hear but don't understand the sounds. Three breaths down, more to go. Crying for a taste, hunger that lays waste to the haste of my disposition. Four breaths in and life has just set in. Dependent on others; fathers, mothers,... (edited) read more

What is attraction? do I need tht to fully love without any boundaries or is it a construct made to wall up your true self. Do I really need to the things society finds normal acceptable and mandatory for all males of breeding to do? Am I only the love of our society or can I be more than that?

Just a poem that came to my mind recently... hope you enjoy 'Icarus.'
If your life breaks apart, You can never see the stars, Floating up above, You stretch your hands in vain; The distance is so great. Your dreams drift apart. What should be? Give up? The urge won't fade away. Tension extends, While your distance lessens. You can never reach it— Sweet poison that it... read more

Maybe this time
🌹 When I was praying for a lifetime with you, my hands trembled with hope, each whisper a bridge to forever. Now, I pray for myself— for quiet mornings, for strength to hold the pieces that no longer fit. As time passes, I learn to carry my own weight, to become whole in the silence. And maybe... read more

Prey
Stalked by a beast teeth tearing, blood curdling. Watching my every move eyes stalking, heart stopping. Wanting to pounce distance covering, balance unwaivering. Fighting for my life punches heavy, kicks life threatening. To make it another day barely surviving, grave digging.

Solipsism:
Slurring and slipping, sloppily dripping sight and sound and ellipses into sticky speech, sheepishly sliding, eyelids enclosed and eclipsed by somnial tidings; deeply, slowly into sleep. Solipsism seeps into the slim, somniferous sliver between denial and bliss, the subconscious... read more

Embers and echoes
A storm held steady by unyielding skies, a soul that burns where wildfires rise. Your voice, a thread of wandering songs, woven with edges, fierce and strong. A canvas of earth, of shadows and hues, rooted in truths that time can't undo. Each word a ripple, each thought a flame, your chaos and... read more

Void
A hopeless void, that is ever so persistent. Elevating the glimmer of light, but yet so muted with anguish and void. A constant revolt, lost in despair. Distant, yet near of fears of the void. Tears to comprehend the pain. Why love you fool!? Pity is reserved for those who seek abundance! It's all... (edited) read more

Lamentations of a Nice Guy in the Digital Forest

Freak
Ina room of strangers in white mask, ina room where the walls are made of glass. The floor is made of gold, diamonds cover their throats. Only words spoken are ones in code, the owl watches over us singing a song of souls. Oaths made are arrangements carved in glass, longevity as long as the souls... read more

A king with a shattered krown, a king with a heavy frown, a king with an empty town, ona cliff with a krumbling ground.

Life
Life is made up of choices. We listen to inner and outer voices. Some choices have us spinning. Some have others winning. Despite what we may think is right, how can we know what will bring us light? To live life is to learn. To desire what we feel we earned. To experience a feeling of yearning. As... (edited) read more

Will someone notice?
🌹 I fake a laugh, hiding the weight of sadness that clings to my chest. I fake being okay, shielding my sorrow from eyes that might see too much. I fake strength, concealing the fear of a lonely tomorrow that whispers in the dark. Will someone notice? Will someone listen? Will someone look... read more

“still alive” poem by me
I’m tired of being tired. I want it to be my turn. Worried free, stress free. I say to myself “what’s a little more hunger” as I’m already losing weight. I hate dealing with my depression but I have to. Until I feel better. Therapy appointments get me all choked up but I still go to help me. My... read more

Why I'm Scared to Ask You This
🌹 I hold my breath, the weight of words unspoken presses heavy on my chest. The silence between us feels like an answer I’m too afraid to hear. Do you love me, or am I just a fleeting moment, a remedy for your loneliness? Your promises shimmer like stars, distant, beautiful, but are they... read more

Unknown Place
🌹 Have you ever wanted to run, to vanish beyond familiar streets, to shed the weight of known faces, and step into a place where no one calls your name? A quiet dream, a pull to distant horizons, where silence wraps around like comfort, and every path feels new, untouched. Not for escape, but... read more

Quote from my most recent poem “Pointless”
“In silence I ponder, in darkness I drown, The echoes of laughter, now a haunting sound. To throw it all away, to sever the ties, To leave all the pain, beneath endless skies.”

Spring
🌹 Bent, but not broken, a coil within my spine pulls me back, taut with the weight of a thousand days.

Each step forward... read more

Love tropes!
Okay as tragic as it is, my favourite love trope is star crossed lovers. Two people that just seem so perfect for each other that are just simply meant to be together but simply can't. It's a sad tragedy but I personally find it to be my favourite love story in novels 💞💞💞

When asked, "Tell me about the one who got away."
I sigh deeply.. Because your existence in my life was temporary.. I often wish that you never took that drive.. Because then you'd still be with me, and alive.. One moment you were here.. The next, crushed by drunk driver left alone and in your last moments probably riddled with fear.. So to the... read more
