Ephemeral Essence
O you, ethereal presence who comes when the light fades
With misty gaze and voice like a murmur of twilight
Do not depart yet - I beg you, remain -
For every moment with you exhales a divine essence
The night, that lady of infinite veils
Has not yet whispered her final requiem
And my heart, captive and distressed
Struggles in longing, in an abyssal cry
Stay, sweet shadow clothed in fle...

My dear fellow writers,
It's been quite a while since I wrote something and even longer since I posted on this site. It wasn't merely a lack of time that caused this break. My life has been a roller-coaster ride filled with strange occurrences and emotions I never thought I would feel. It was crushing to experience them, but enlightening to know that they can be overcome. However, it's not eas...

Life's Battles
Am I starting to not care anymore?
Children taken as spoils of war
Still breaks my heart...a little.
Enough to pray...a little.
Storms come and storms go
To make my soul weary,
So my life is no longer light and breezy.
Prayers go up...but they're not easy
To maintain.
So my heart begins to complain.
Then I'm reminded,
That when life's battles are no longer fought

my struggle
followed the wrong path, struch down by society
tried to make music but couldnt get the propriety
had the struggles, went through it involuntary
to give my heart to anyone now i am very wary
if you see me smile - im not happy - its rarely
it was my choices that led me here if i put it fairly
no anyone to hold me as i push myself through
not even a father to see how ive grew

Everyday Ritual
Pins and needles,
Trickling down my spine,
These thoughts that I have,
Are always on my mind,
In a dark room,
The walls are closing in,
Feeling all alone,
In a world full of sin,
These demons play games,
They fuck with my head,
They tell me to get high,
I Just pray instead,
Life and death,
Isn't what I fear,
Its the thoughts of my loved ones,
That bring me to tears,
Pain and misery...

One Step Closer
I'm running away scared
But trying to find the light
They hurt me too hard.
Standing here from this height
If I had the courage to do it
I could float among the stars
My chest forming in a pit, I sit.
I'm broken in two halves.
How did I get here?
I truly tried to fight it
Even kept denying it
I can't even hide it
I'm shaking but holding on tight
The ledge is sturdy but it's high...

“The Man and The Whisper”
Fear,
Doubt,
Worry,
What if…,
Unknowing,
Restlessness,
The haunting past,
The heart of anxiety,
The present limitations,
The lack of belief in myself,
Uncertainty of knowing myself,
These are the lions in my den,
The lighting and thunder in my storm,
The dark walls enclosing on my shoulders,
The waves that are ready to pummel me in my ocean of lif...
