spring forward into
fall ahead of polar white
season cycle memes
If you were to ask me
Be the one to catch me, before i take the fall
You'd be the only one waiting, afterall
For whence i open my mouth and
Spill a sea of pills tinged with reddened liquor
I think you'd listen, then
If i took advice from any voice, it'd say 'give up'
But then again the only advice i ever took was the gurgles from down below
Onwards, outwards, suck inwards and hollow
If i gouged the gurgles, they'd say 'continue'
They'd count on me as i count every zero
They'd hold onto my head while i clutch the bottle
But, you'd catch me.
Incase i couldn't catch me
You'd advise me to give up
But i'd have fallen from your grasp
Onwards, downwards, i'd ignore the numbers from the liquor
For they'd spill from my mouth ever quicker
I'd have lost count, either way.
Hey, what did you want to say?
An eternity in your eyes I saw
Yet behind broken dreams I stand,
I blame you not, for this is my flaw,
Hoping for that which no mortal shall have.
Memories of an eternity I had made,
In the sands of time I watch them fade,
Was this ever meant to be?
Or was this but a fleeting moment of karma.
Deep in my heart I yearn.
Hoping to have that I did not earn,
Cloaked I am in solidarity once more,
Yet for Cupid’s arrow I gave my all.
I author no words of regret,
I sing no songs of pain,
For your light was all I needed,
An eternity I had not but fleeting hours I always had.
I guess it's time I faced reality,
Time I accept the actualities
Demons and angels cannot be,
Under the hue of thee I let my quest be.
Always remember:
Dreams become reality
once action begins.
immovable object
irresistible force
inevitable showdown

The clock’s tick is a slow blade,
cutting through the silence,
fingers cold on metal chains—
it’s only minutes now,
my breath tearing through my chest.
[b]4[/b]
I can hear them—footsteps,
too close, too far,
scraping keys, rattling,
the air, thick—
I choke on it, wait.
[b]3[/b]
The light through the bars feels wrong,
like it’s burning me—
I can’t escape,
the walls closing in.

The door cracks open,
a figure, a shadow,
they’re coming,
they’re coming for me.

It’s time.
I know you won’t live forever, but if there’s one thing I can guarantee, your going to live forever in me,
if my days come to an end, and it’s the last thing I do, I promise to spend the rest of my days loving you, from morning to night, I’ll show you a love considered right, a love that shines through the dark, the brightest light you’ve ever seen, every time I tell you I love you, this paragraph is what i mean,
i love you, doesn’t describe how i feel about you, i love you are words to little for you, I would keep you in my heart, the place only I know, the place where my love will continue to grow, there’s millions of words in the dictionary, yet none of them can describe what you mean to me,
every moment we spend together, it’s something bittersweet and memorable, but if I had to describe you in one word, I think I’d say inevitable,
The cock also sweat
Sweating beneath the undaunted hair
Though unseen, untethered
Unnoticed yet vulnerable.
The male lion also weep
Weeping gently and silently
With insignificant traces
Though galloping and parading
In confidence which left creatures
Marvelled and tender.
The virile also feels
They also go through pains
Pains seen and unseen
Though eye catching faces
And beautiful faces are worn over
Should the Bull go begging when in awe of death?
Should the mighty cry ?
Should the Cheetah crawl ?
Should the Tiger be afraid?
In street, the virile is left alone
Detached, chastened and stranded
Moving to and fro
But no place to call home.
Even when he wants to be known
And cherished, he is deprived.
Should humanity be switched?
Even when switched, will he be known ?
Will he be recognized?
Or will he be appreciated?
He is all alone
Longing to overcome
Though no hope of winning
But hanging on till the driver arrives
And all is left behind.
….be still, be quiet,
deafening noise in the silence…
….head spinning, heart racing
anxiety is restlessly pacing…
….I’m confused, I’m conflicted
in love, I’ve been convicted…
….no hurt, no pain
for you I show refrain…
….too late, for debate
my words—hesitate, inevitable
fate…
….sinking fear, falling tear
to never have you near…
….just you and me
never meant to be…
…no joy, no laughter
unhappily ever after…
Death...Body
The inevitable beast, embodied
Weapon for the evil
terminating missions, end a message
Keep all
Waiting for another messenger
Death... It always leaves a void behind
The means to escape live's torture
For the good
Every lost a vision end, blurred
Revision all
Alteration, new version
Death... The structure
Unaware instructions of isolation
Leaving soberness behind
Heart aches, yelling of pains
Difficulty
Loser's gain, try to heal
Death... Shameless Criminal
Steal your breath
Leaves you breathless
Vulnerable
Deceased love
Roaring torments
Voices and memories
Echos and vivid dreams
Relentlessly
Death... Crip disease
Cripping into the heart
blurred eyes
Dash in the lungs
Ripple breathless
Cripple the bones
Lame you
ripple effect
Crip, clined... Lying
Unconsciously
Unaware
Casket
Death... Forget
Forget by all
Too soon
Gone forever
most say
Some reminisce.
Your tears predestined
If you can't tell anything
Bother that challenge.
Inevitable Journey.
Every hour is a moment.
A piece of history
Your history, your story
Nobody wants to take your place.
Be in your shoes.
As the sun rises and disappears
Like an egg timer
The sand trickles through
Ebbs away, the seconds
Until the bottom is full
The end arrives. Inevitable journey.
Like birth, no one can resist.
Or fight, refuse, not go
Inevitable conclusion
From the day we arrive
Goodbye old friend.
Nothing to forgive or forget
Never a cross word
No adjectives or condolence works.
I hope there’s a light.
Somewhere better than this
Take care my friend.
The pleasure was all mine.
Bon voyage!

Seven-year disparity
Five years of hiatus
Unexpectedly, he came...
He created his world.
She made her own
Blossoming into a fantasy
A dream turns into reality.
Now everything seems perfect.
They want each other.
They love each other.
Love is unpredictable.
To them, it's destiny.
For others, it's complicated.
But true love can wait.
And they are the proof.
Love knows no boundaries.
There is no age difference.
Love is what makes a difference.
To love deeply and unconditionally...
Do not wait for me, for I am quiet as a heart that beats no more.
Do not wait me for me, for I am move unseen as a shadow at night.
Do not wait for me, for I am inevitable as God's judgment upon his creation.
I have a partner in crime.
We treat him with respect and associate him with wisdom.
He brings not gifts of joy, but rather grey hair and wrinkles.
He does not gently knock on your door to present himself.
But rather, he enters without your permission and says " happy birthday, I'll see you 365 days later".
How rude of him, I apologize on his behalf. I haven't taught him basic etiquette.
Yet, How hypocritical of me! I am not gentle either.
But HE is my friend, he reminds when it is time to visit you.
We'll use leaves on a tree to symbolize your lifespan,
And we'll use the season Autumn to symbolize my presence.
Your leaves are colorful and vibrant,
Yet, as with all things, they eventually fall.
Do not wait for me, for I am what Autumn does to leaves on a tree.
" I don't believe in things that will never be, but when it comes to you, I haven't found a better way to waste my time, than believe in things that I know only bring temporary happiness. It's satisfying in way knowing when I finally do snap out of it, I will have already gone crazy. "
