The Mobius Strip of Thought
The loudest silence screams its truth. Darkness illuminates hidden stars. The heaviest burden lifts the soul. Beginning ends, and ending births anew. To gain all, you must first let go. The more you know, the less you understand. Weakness can be the greatest strength, and standing still, a journey's start. This knot of contradiction, a tangled thread of what seems not to be, reveals the...

ALMOST HER
The dream fills me with hope, But opening my eyes, Waking up to reality, Shatters them all. Dreams bloom like flowers in the spring, While present is like a rainy night mixed with thunderstorms. Would it have been better if I wasn't me? Or if i would have been the dream-me? Because if the dream fades, Who am I left to be at all? But...

The Nightmare of Subjectivity - Apr 16
The lady looking up had said that “good was bad” and then had added, “all was well”; Tripped up on his feet, and after her fall, she who was glad was then made madly sad. But the man stooping down from where he stood replied that “bad was good” and “well was all”; Though with his words he’d made the...

Life is short make it work
When I was serious You took for granted. Totally ignored my requests Treated them like games. Then used it against. To support your anger. Flying those Fs words Towards my fine face. Once, I tried teasing you, You found it too offensive. Ended our very unstable friendship, While behaving insensibly and immaturely, When thing has gone dead, What would you do instead? Long for many new days, So I...
