I am nothing unique, really – I am a drop of water in the river of society, unsatisfied, unfulfilled, like any other. We’re headed somewhere collectively but that is not a place I wish to see – the fear is […]

There’s a creaking bed next door – a solitary sound – a person quietly turning at eleven o’clock in the morning – sick, perhaps, or tired? Or just unable to see the purpose of facing the world alone? I know […]

Another sleepless night – tired eyes watch the morning creeping into sight – Tearless eyes – the numbing whiteness of the morning mist obscures the light – Would that the morning crept away again to let the day unfold or […]

I am what I am and nothing more (yet nothing less) – a faceless voice praising a world made out of faces – always scorned for things I can’t control, alter or make undone but never praised for those things […]

I search for the feeling but nothing remains – except recollections of losses and gains – I faintly remember the last time we met and what we did then – through pain and regret I know that I loved you, […]

Could I earn a place in Heaven – by what means and what might it do to me? What if I found that once there, then not only had I ceased to be but too that Heaven isn’t as it […]

I invest in my soul since evidence suggests it’s all the future holds that may be worth investing in. The only problem then is that I am not convinced I even have a soul to invest in.

Once upon a time my ancestors walked this Earth, procreated and died. Now I am here – a relic of their foibles; left behind. And when I’m gone – if things were right – I’d too be passing something on. […]

I am no woman – I am a spark of life that lies dormant in somebody’s mind. I am a mote of galactic dust stuck on a tiny sphere with no means to escape from here – I am no […]

Light creeps in everywhere to burn away its detractors – the shade runs for cover and I with it – the day struggles with the night and only reluctantly allows it life – the day recuperates to resume the fight […]

Liberated consciousness, self-realization – not really. Somehow realizing the “self” always has consequences for others – preventing others from realizing themselves. Escape your comfort zone (to boast about it) forgetting in your haste that your comfort zone does not exist […]

No movement – no life – but I am too tired to move out of the spot so I might as well have died – My head insists on life, my heart claims to have died and my body struggles […]

I see you not, reader, but I speak to you, believe in your existence through and through – I entrust my child to you, the offspring of my mind and countless idle thoughts of any, every kind – I hope […]

Does chaos count as an emotion? Or is it just another lie we tell ourselves to hide the fact of holes in our understanding of the workings of the mind? I look at you and all I feel is chaos […]

I carry with me a darkness that prevents me from taking flight, a burden of thoughts that possess and bars me from the light. I thought that I should name it to understand and will it away but names tend […]

I heard your question. I strove to answer. The words swelled in my throat, they got stuck, wiggling their way out, writhing, tearing at my windpipe – You just stood there. You just stared at me. But the words were […]

Once I err, a day thrown into disarray A solitary thread has caused a world’s unspooling Once I err, that fragment of day becomes the day A solitary moment that absorbs all else there was A chasm wherein I only […]

Life taught me early on to fly under the radar and thereby live – Nobody taught me I’d need more fuel to fly so low in higher air density – I taught myself with great care to save energy in […]

I am waiting to disperse, I’m almost on the verge of dissipating – let my components find rest if that’s the only kind of rest to find… I’m ready to slip past the past, the present, and into the future, […]

The desire to MAKE – that is the human curse I carry – the MAKING of art in a futile attempt to carry myself into a future without me – My hands want creation – if my mind wants peace […]
