another night collapses
into a quietly raging dawn
where the autumn leaves colours of flames
curl up on and on
and the fire burns still
into a melting dusk

endless love
we forget and then remember ourselves
and start to hate
what we fought to have
love was only for the version of ourselves
we cherished just being with one another

what i now have instead
normal thoughts
no matter the amount of praise or gratitude
something ugly is raised out of my content
nothing erases the bruises on an ego
inflicted by life's banal honesty
a friend you say
what kind of friend?

with deep words and deep meanings
worthy enough to be written
not seen or heard
worthy of an ovation but
not literary salvation
good things shall come to me
if in my heart i choose to seek them
and believe they exist

the darkness or light inside us all
love or hate
skin won't change but it will know
sin and blessings will be on show
changing to and fro
the breathing pendulum
that paints a picture of an evolving soul

the everknowing ghost
away from all she knew
especially what she knew the most; she didn't want to be close
look the truth in eye
hang onto her hope
instead she wanted to disappear
to get up and go.

we end up blurring them like watery spilled paint
the endless intersection
in which all is remembered and forgotten
just made a mess of -
identity blooms from the amalgam called life
irreverent and forever in hearts and souls
the universe's colourwheel.

a truth quite bitter
tomorrow's coming thick and fast
and i have to brace for a future
with or without hope.

endless wonder of primal instincts
taking over, we
cannibalising each other
a cruel cruel world
where first among others
leaves the step down
leaves ignorance and want
in the vulnerable eyes of many
fighting to be free in their captivity

horrors of being a monolith
daily blunder
repeat disconnection
lowered surgically mechanically into reality
like fish in bags into water with tweezers, going under
becoming
the dreamer
resenting
the preacher
when people are out of reach

the what we become
the what we succumb to
begins with when we're born
unknown to all the world
we unfurl in others' blood
boil in others' trouble
but the truth is in the marrow that hardens our soul
makes the life in our bones
the death in our rise and fall

i denote it purple or the navy blue of the midnight sky
or the comforting knowledge
the sweetest hindsight
the epiphany laid out between stars and constellations
the calm eureka that shrieks amongst the lavender and roses that
what purpose anything has is how it's meant to be

Hard for some
born into a frenetic glum
no choice but to walk so the hopes of the world can run
at some point, it penetrates you
all the pieces melded into one
heart raw and mind numb
immune to a singular rotation of earth once again

who wish to tweak their existence
tune it to perfection
until their humanity is no more

evil in freedom unseen
the things that bleed still
upside down in victory
and die in defeat
im rusty with a #haiku, but they're still fun i see they're popular on here 😅

so that when the time comes, we don't have to start hiding again
and confront reality the way it confronts us, the dark truths sealed in light.

i picked cherry, you picked vanilla
days where we lived life fuller
only for it to tumble about the memory drain
part of the nostalgia hole

unwavering loyalty
spoilt by the burdens of reality
we can't all be horses
in solidarity, we collapse and collide away from the source
the simple and good things in life will continue to go unappreciated
we can't all be horses

They want me to hold my word
And not go back on myself, they just don't know
That instead I go on forward plunging straight into the void
