On Silence, Emptiness and Acceptance

If I don't tell you, you won't know that I have been quiet for a while now. So quiet that I only hear the voices of my mind and soul. Everything else is the kind of music I carefully avoid. A nomad once, I have now settled in the abyss of nothingness. I am nothing. Nothing is me. This void is neither apocalyptic nor enlightening. It's just there, like a guest who visits without a notice and you are too kind to ask if they are leaving anytime soon. You let them stay for as long as they want and try to do your best to host them well. It's been three months now. Three months of quietness, silent suffering, harsh confrontation with bitter truths and cruel acceptance. Three months of standing at the centre of a nameless hurricane, letting the play of pressure weather me to the last limit. I wonder what I am curious about. My patience or the person I become if I manage to come out alive of this embraced torture.

From grief to fears, from fears to numbness, from numbness to detachment, from detachment to loneliness, from loneliness to falling for death, from the face of death to the gate of life: a circle I have covered way too many times. And in the process I have left the world behind me, the desire to dream, the urge to give value to my name and the eagerness to house love in me. All I am now is an empty space where there used to thrive a tropical forest once. Nothing seems to grow here anymore. Nothing can. It's a long wait, I can tell, before this destroyed soil chooses a seed again for flourishing.

"So this is what it is like to taste death before dying," I tell myself every day. An anthophile, I love daisies. Daisies tell me that resurrection is real. Who knows what I will be in my next life. Hopefully, the being is equally kind and equally in sync with art. I won't be me without words, painting, songs and silence.

Hey, It's Me

It's true, I am a member of the great twitter exodus, brought here by codes of isolation dying for the slight heat of touch in an endless cold mathematical tube of absolute nothing. I am here because I like it here. I like long form. I like short form. I like saying nothing to anyone, and anything to no one. Feel free to ask me things I guess, the best poems come in the form of questions and then the answers that seek them. Will I always post poems here? I don't know. Voice memos here? I don't know. But for now I am happy to be back on the big comfy couch that is tumblr with you weirdo freaks and geeks. Happy to ditch the intellectuals, let them scavenge for followers and hot takes while we scavenge for porn and the sense that someone somewhere really fucking feels you.

Too good to be true

There was this boy who hurt me. I thought I didn't care but at the party when I saw him I knew I was just lying to myself. But then, when I least expected it, you suddenly stood in front of me. I was totally drunk but you were like a huge light that appeared in front of me. You made me laugh, danced with me, kissed me, lifted me up and made me feel alive again. I thought that was it, I'll never see you again. But we met a second time. Talked for hours. Everything was so perfect. Too perfect. I snuggled up to you. On this big broad shoulder to lean on. But it was too perfect. You weren't from here. The distance was too great and so of course for the first time everything was so perfect with one man that there had to be the one big catch. I don't know how to proceed now. All I know is that I miss you

Confusion

Being lost in travesty

Chaste reply

Seize to none

Look within you

For the answers you search may stun

The questions of another

Today was the first day I started physiotherapy - it was yesterday, but on the account of impact, let's say 'today'. Today will always be more impactful than yesterday to those who never live presently.

Somehow, I had expected it to be the beginning of the solution to most of my problems. If my body didn't hurt that much, I would also stop feeling stuck in all the other areas of my life. I had for some absurdity, fantasied with a scenario where someone would lay their hands on me and immediately feel all my pain.

Instead, it was a bunch of miscommunications and exercises that I already do by myself at home. They didn't understand where it hurt, and I left in more pain than I arrived.

It reminds me of the last time I got my heart broken.

Black, lit shows of wonder fill the air.

Yearning, it calls me deep into its presence, it's bosom, it's sanctuary.

The allure of the midnight sky embellished in stars leaves me wandering...

What healing springs is kept behind the curtains of space, replenishing the cosmos.

- Goodnight

Spinning around glow and happiness,

but I know I belong to the night.

My place is with shadows and penumbras.

The shadows and penumbras that I create myself.

That's the thing -- cloudy days and grey skies do not make me gloomy like others. On the contrary, they bring me ease, because I remember that just because the sun isn't seen, it doesn't mean it's not there. You aren't the number of people who know you, you never were. There was always a fire that can illuminate the world inside you.

Longing

I'm alone most of the time. I'm fine with it. I don't really mind. Usually. But I'm lonely too. Suddenly I get sad that someone doesn't want me anymore. Although I have no feelings for this person. I long for affection and love. Someone who accepts me for who I am. Someone who loves everything about me. But I don't think I'll find anyone. Who could love everything about me?
