Discovery
Mending a fracture within times’ embrace.
Like a haunting silence, etched in memory’s expanse.
The sign of eponym, unfolding metamorphic patterns,
A mythical narrative, where tales unravel and scatter.
Early Morning
Life mirrors a morning dewdrop, glistening,
a small universe perilously draped on a forgotten branch
evaporating into nothingness.
Twilight Embrace
Walking the razors edge of jeopardy.
There are days when existence takes a dual form.
The second one is no more than a recollection of the first.
A haunting echo of fingertips scratching along a window.
Yearning for the traces of another life.
This year, reality falters and reveals its surreal.
Like dialing my number but hearing another’s voice.
I peered into the unfathomable abyss of the implausible
Why did I venture here, where darkness thrives?
Perspective
Within the soul, the meaning resonated,
Like a lost streetcar token in a city devoid of streetcars
A photograph descending amidst confetti’s dances.
Never forget the pursuit of balance, in it’s distinct, contrasting form
Oh, the bliss of boundless optimism,
For confidence nurtures the everlasting bond of friendship,
I embark on a quest for a future yet unseen,
Unfathomable by the shackles of the past.
