implicitly or explicitly
between the wisdom and the faith
the seeds of life
panspermia —
literally seeds everywhere
or more than Panspermia

a constricted vision of the world
when the sun reclines
the night consumes light
geological epochs
epochs fly
the time blinded by a thousand dying suns

Pieces of wreckage
rusted door
a few scattered settlements
an old dream rusting away outside
eradication extirpate
abolition terminated?
extermination life will cease

the wind blew through gaps at the top and bottom of the door
the life dragged on interminably
a bone of contention between heart and mind
have a bone to pick with life

brass monkey weather is not my soul
there’s something fundamentally wrong
I’m a bird that stayed way too long?
and brass monkey weather exposed the nest when I’m gone?

an eye was trying to see internal bruising
she shuts her eyes
the candles shed a soft glow on her face
pleading eyes..
she shed no tears

the darkness of the metaphor destroyed its effectiveness
some stories are large in scope and dark in substance
concealed and thousand secret; mysterious
a life full of obscurities!

living on the edge of obnoxious
by some freak of fate I escaped
nothing would tempt me to live here
the hope slipped from my grasp and ran off
the life slipped out of my hand

there was a fatal flaw in the plan
I was locked in mortal combat
fought against the fear
at the core of the soul….

the soul began to splinter
above are the isles in the darkness
collapsed all known and unknown aeon into dust
thousand splinters of shard!!!

amount of make-up couldn’t hide expression
like didden dangers lurk in the ocean depths
I just couldn’t hide my fear during daylight
inner screams!!!

racial prejudice is an anathema to me
unreasonable opinion
conflicts may lead to violence
harmful effect
Stygian gloom

she stood staring emptily into space
she emptied her mind of all thoughts of home and food?
And she had to steal food just to stay alive!

I can’t see
so i’m denying reality
faith a mere formality
belief
I can’t see!

Commercialism
materialism
socialism
imperialism
shaping new life

I’ve been trying to unravelled
unpalatable fact
unparalleled success

I will burn eternally
if I live my life in sin!

What is life just a curiosity of mankind or something else
I have been searching endlessly
for the brick of life
what is life?
what is death?

that we can waste our lives
searching for serenity
serenity could be inside you
you just need to discover yourself first

My soul rose to never ever more to fall
