[448] The End of Our Beginning

The birth of the world ⁣and its dying echo⁣can be heard in a shell⁣Like that, I try to find ⁣the beginning of our end⁣in the silence you left behind⁣I lied when I told you⁣the first time we talked⁣was the first time we met⁣when I saw you every day ⁣sipping your morning cup ⁣through the cafe [...]

[447] The Potential In You

I mask a mask of ⁣survival that has ⁣overstayed its welcome like⁣drizzle after a storm⁣⁣The mask is a shapeshifter⁣an excuse spitter, so naturally⁣it dreads questions that reveal⁣its truest nature, so I dare ask⁣⁣What do you fear to admit?⁣How deep is your survivors' guilt?⁣What disappointments do you hide?⁣What memory do you block through denial?⁣Does grief stop [...]

[446] The Same Old Song

Up again I fear admitting that I can admit fear Elongated status quo misery to not admit the misery of my psycheRationale finds me conveniently when habit is found to be absentminded Days flow in a daze Time passes me mesmerisedIn an imprisoning loop of an infinite laughter So I give in... to... sleep. Up [...]

[445] The Puppeteer Falls

How does the common man end up fighting for common air,and grapple for basic necessities provided by conscious comedians When wide-eyed puppeteers find their neatly held strings laceratedtheir grip on their ivory throne dismally tightens seeing our widening eyes gasping... for a mere breath NaPoWriMo Day 26: Today, I’d like to challenge you to write [...]

[444] The Festival of Poetry

In the bloom of April⁣discipline is cultivated and⁣the morning light feels curious⁣Heightened awareness ⁣for words unknown⁣from unconscious worlds unexplored⁣The rise of wordsmiths ⁣cultivating a culture of rhyme⁣creating a bridge from their ⁣abyss to walk into the readers' soul ⁣⁣We dream alliterations in April⁣and imagine imagery in its infinite jest⁣We personify the prompts given ⁣and keep [...]

[443] The Extinction of Hurt

There are 17-20 species of hurt alive today⁣all of which live in the southern half of the heart⁣Just before taking flight in the body, it releases numbness⁣from our rusted feathers to transform itself into pain⁣Most hurt swims in the body at a meagre pace⁣but the fastest hurt can reach top speeds of 22 mph⁣Usually a [...]

[442] First Step To Action

I know, I alone⁣the feelings of a frozen heart⁣Disbelief and shut eyes⁣No solace in the inner thought⁣⁣Only I, only I⁣Ego is the real cause⁣Because the world is full of suffering⁣and I get to write my demons out. Privilege. NaPoWriMo Day 23: Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that responds, in some [...]

[441] Thank Your Stars

The rough seas demanded a sacrifice⁣The North Star hid behind clouds in plain sight ⁣when the survivors looked for directions beyond⁣The compass was invented and manifested⁣to shift the anchor of our gaze down to our fool’s paradise⁣Sailors turned to explorers all in an overnight⁣⁣We became the makers of our destiny and explored⁣the first frontier called [...]

[440] Know Your Dreams, Know Thyself

I am what I end up not saying⁣⁣⁣⁣I am what I end up not thinking⁣⁣⁣⁣I am what evades the sight⁣⁣⁣⁣I am what you do not read between the lines⁣⁣⁣⁣I am.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Between the lines, I breathe paradoxes⁣⁣⁣⁣Between the words, I squiggle for realisations⁣⁣⁣⁣Between the days, I try to evade thinking⁣⁣⁣⁣Between the nights, I dream my evaded thinking⁣⁣⁣Between [...]

[439] Sun Through The Clouds

Endless blue when I think too much ⁣Feverish fatigue of not knowing it all sets in⁣So I borrow somebody’s evolved thought to say goodbye blue⁣⁣An endless string of pearls is the image of the universe⁣In hopes of knowing it all, we greed for every thought⁣forgetting that each pearl holds the reflection of all the infinite [...]
