AFAR
— seeing without claiming

A #SPYGLASS does not collapse distance;
it disciplines it
What comes closer remains unreachable
reminding the watcher that clarity
is not possession but patience—
a consent to observe without conquest
to admire futures still deciding
whether they wish to be approached

THE COURAGE TO RELENT
— strengthwithoutspectacle

True #mercy is not lenience
it is authority choosing restraint
It stays the hand, edits the verdict
and proves that power can afford
to be precise rather than cruel
History remembers such moments—
not as weakness
but as intelligence
with a conscience

THE EDUCATION OF SEEING
— vision without innocence

We trust #eyes too easily.
They catalogue surfaces,
mistake exposure for understanding,
and call it sight.
Only when vision learns humility—
to look twice,
to doubt its own certainty—
do the eyes graduate
from witnesses
to readers of the world.

THE ARITHMETIC OF NO
— on counting refusal

Not every rejection is progress.
Some are data.
Some are warnings.
Some are answers we mistake for challenges.

Wisdom is not celebrating every “no”—
it’s learning which ones to listen to.

READ RECEIPT
— how harm survives by calling itself polite

Some harms do not announce themselves.
They RSVP.
They read the message.
They respond later.

Written in the vein of what survives by being called polite.

WEIGHT-BEARING
— what the earth remembers

We mistake #stones for silence.
They are archives—
pressure translated into patience,
impact refined into endurance.
Civilisations pass, slogans erode,
yet stone keeps the long ledger,
teaching us that what lasts
is not what shouts,
but what holds.

THE PERFORMANCE OF BEING OKAY
— on emotional uptime

We learned how to function
before we learned how to heal.

Some versions of us are efficient,
presentable, productive—
and quietly unfinished.

Endurance is not the same as wholeness.

ATLAS CONSIDERS ABNEGATION

What if strength is not endurance, but release?
Perhaps love is not another sky to bear—
but the courage to set one down.

Challenge: “Write a poem about any ancient myth in modern times, when they are about to fall in love.”

EVENT HORIZON OF HOME
— where coordinates refuse erasure

When love becomes gravity,
absence is not emptiness—
it is curvature.

THE ARMOR THAT LEARNS WATER
— a riddle in alloy and tide

Some of us are forged in structure
and secretly fluent in tides.

Not everything we carry belongs to our armor.
Look closely. What is being held here?

DISARMING MYTH

SEMAPHORE OF MORTAL HEARTS
— a love-letter written in bone-ink and starlight

Between Cupid and Coffin, my ribs became ballot boxes voting breath against oblivion nightly.
Desire sharpened heliotropes while doom kept filing syllables into marble-throated certainties.

BACKWARD MOTION
— what regret pretends to offer

We beg time to #rewind as though chronology were merciful—
as though errors could be vacuumed from history like dust.
But memory only sharpens its footage,
replays with forensic tenderness,

THE GARDEN THAT LEARNED TEETH
—after the valley thawed, before she learned her name

Winter taught endurance.
February teaches hunger.

Roses sharpen. Wolves wait.
What breathed beneath ice finally rises.

THE CALCULUS OF LIVING
— on what resists optimisation

Dashboards glow.
Equations hover.
No one is in the room.

We taught systems to predict everything—
except the variables that matter most.

Some truths refuse decimals.

CATACOMB GRAMMAR
— eloquence without sound

#Silent language rules
between our shuttered gaze here
gestures sermonize
palms translate tacit vows now
breath scripts hieroglyphs in air

THE QUICK VERSE MIRACLE
— on instant genius and patient craft

Some poems ship overnight.
Others take seasons.

One dazzles timelines.
The other changes its maker.

Not everything worth keeping arrives express.

THE POLITICS OF DELIGHT
— what distracts while headlines burn

In turbulent seasons, #pleasure is sold as anaesthetic—
a scrolling sedative,
a carnival of diversions calibrated to quiet unease.

SOVEREIGN
— selfhood without witnesses

Loving #myself unapologetically today, I annul borrowed verdicts, enthrone solitude, irrigate fractures with grace, crown resilience, barter fear for radiance and authorize joy without witnesses ever again.

LITTORAL

I #unfurl phosphorescence, discard gravitas, discover horizons rehearsing absolution beside moonlit water tonight and silence

SHARDS
— where light refuses to quit

Night swept the room; …splintered glass lead to broken dreams… yet I pocketed starlight, stitched hope into silence, and walked barefoot through dawn, carrying names the dark couldn’t erase

Some departures return as light. This poem listens for what lingers after the room empties.

HYPOTHERMIC RAPTUS
—when winter practices sorcery

Icicled twilight leaves me #spellbound , rapt, mesmered, febrile, luminous, silent, captive, thawing inwardly.

OUTSOURCED
— the luxury of not thinking

A #cult begins as convenience—
doubt delegated, wonder rationed,
complexity replaced with a single bright sentence.
Soon belief is rented,
judgement amortised,
and the mind discovers how easily
freedom masquerades
as relief.

THE GANTT CHART OF SHADOWS
— on managing what must not exist

Dashboards glow.
Maps pulse.
No one is in the room.

Some decisions are made
so quietly they never become news—
only outcomes.

When power migrates into systems, silence becomes a strategy.
