The promise

By

I saw the God in Him, He saw the universe in me

But I still carry a bit of baggage. There’s still a bit of baggage.


I’ve never felt anchored to this world,

A passenger, drifting, unseen, unfurled.

Moving through shadows, no destination,

A soul afloat, lost in isolation.


But with him, I found solid ground,

A rare peace in chaos, profound.

The world stilled, the void erased,

In his presence, I felt embraced.


And when he left, the silence screamed,

The emptiness swallowed all I dreamed.

Longing, grief, and aching desire,

A heart once warm turned cold as fire.


Now void of love, a hollowed frame,

I roam the earth, yet not the same.

The world spins on, but I remain,

A passenger, lost, bound to this pain.


I stood on the other side, a shadowed man,

Ravaged by life, scarred by its hand.

I asked of you, a question so bold,

How do you promise, when hearts grow cold?


If I let my guard fall, my fortress unwind,

And offer a spark from this flame of mine,

How do I know you won’t leave me bare,

Extinguished, alone, gasping for air?


For I’ve rebuilt myself, time and again,

From ashes to fire, through anguish and pain.

If you take my spark and weave it with yours,

Will you stay when the storm comes and roars?


How do you vow to not break my frame,

To not leave me smoldering, void of flame?

For I am a man, once whole, once bright,

Seeking a promise in love’s fragile light.

No rush

 Walk a little slower, there's no rush. You ain't got anywhere to be, slow down. You know there isn't anyone waiting on you, You'll be dancing by yourself anyway, like always. But atleast you won't have to pretend anymore, You can finally let go and lose yourself. The four hours of sleep you'll get are enough to collect the pieces. Just enough to keep a smile on your face. The dark circles are almost invisible when you smile, Who cares if it won't reach your eyes, no one really notices anyway. So take the long way home, keep reality at bay. Just a little longer, fool the world a little longer, Lose yourself in the lie just a bit longer. No harm done. Walk a little slower, there's no rush. You ain't got nowhere to be, you might as well get lost.

Crashing waves

By
I’ve been hankering, I’ve been lacking  I’ve been trying to mask needing you  With every puff, every sip, every body I’ve been trying not to carry the weight of the world It only awakened me to deeper truths  Seeing it all and never doing anything  Endeavoring to shed light, trying constantly. We knew the world, we understood it. I wanted to build a fortress for us I wanted to build my life around you. But that obstacle tore us apart  I fell in your absence I fell into the universe and lost myself in spirituality The more I tried to run away from my destiny  The more I tried to fight being in the present  It only awakened me to deeper truths My higher self, my soul spoke to me. It revealed many but one, one was constant that I need you, that I needed my anchor  I’ve been through so much pain  With life turbulences and storms  These growing pains, these aches  They made me fight my true nature  Not to deny any aspects of me...

Prayer for reason

By
 Keep the illusion up, let them see purpose. I know you're just there existing. As long as you're breathing, keep that heart beating It don't matter if the muscles on your face won't stretch right It don't matter that your smile is not the same anymore Keep at it, don't give up. Struggle a bit longer You're not dead yet. They see you breathing. They can feel your heart beat. Cold as it is. They can feel your heat, you're not dead. Keep at it just a little bit longer Maybe there's a silver lining just around the corner In this round existence, there's a silver lining just around the corner. Even if you're just surving now, that's all that matters. They are all that matter so live. Live for them, if not for yourself. Love for them, if not for yourself. Do it all for them Maybe you'll find your own in the midst of it all.
