Absorbing Time

Busy losing connection to yourself, the mind in stasis.Flooding the self with moments that don’t stick.Busy, the body occupied in praise without pride.Leaves you stumbling in the medley of your anxiety. When did you last pause, and be.Longing for a digital coma that brings back lifeyou thought you’d never again see.A quiet that’s been missing […]

Time-bound Sorrow

Lost path, without cause, I stumble on jagged rocks, hunting for the unknown in time-bound sorrow._ Neurons that spark in despair, and fuse in restfulness. Is ignorance peace?_ To feel is to love.

A lonely soul grazing the sole […]

It’s on these type of nights, one understands why this place is called the Hollow-hell forest. It looks calm yet deadly as if it could devour you whole in one swoop. Thunder booms and […]
