Regaining Lost Aspects: Mind and Soul
Through book events, poetry, and creativity, we dive a little deeper into humanity.
Can you ebb away my happiness?
I don’t want to hope
Memories break down on me
Broken glass, a shattered trope
Can you bring me realization?
A world too physical to breathe
I need to not drift elsewhere
I need truth too sharp to sheath
Hesitate before you reach me. Let the wonder linger in that moment. The hunger for me build on the tip of your tongue and the possibilities of us exhilarate your mind. Create us to last forever in each of your falling steps.
If we expedite our dreams
Past the sorrow
We will never know strength
We will never gain heart
The flaw in your smile
I see it
In one portrait
Hidden, mischievous, fake.
It stretches
Teeth gleaming white.
I see you
Waiting for your next prey.
A catch that isn’t me.
The Sea has a face
Only seen by the gods
It rages and conquers
And swallows all odds
Its movement is felt
By ships’ steady flee
Then taken under
A breath lost at sea
To mend a broken heart after grief
Is to stitch it full of scars
Never beating the same
Never loving the same
But always hurting the same
When memories turn to shards
Calm and collected
while I’m shaking inside.
Courageous and brave
when I just want to hide.
What I display to you
is what I want to be.
My persona is a cover
to hide the real me.
Thousands of windows
Beat white in the golden sun
Thrumming against the quakes
That erupted the city like clockwork
There, the colossal poleaxe
Threatening in the giant’s hand
Swung an arc 20 floors deep.
The city’s cries were silent in the giant’s ears
For all he heard was his rage
Spin me a conundrum
A question of sanity on a thread
Twining in my nightmares
Twisted moods of dread
Motives complicating
The answers nowhere near
Driving touch of lunacy
To make the Game of Fear
I nod to the end of my life,
whenever it may reach me.
For I am ready to travel
to worlds far beyond the stars.
