Fare Thee Well



In the depths of this chaotic mess, I ponder, Seeking meaning in nostalgia and melancholy's yonder. I snatch fleeting moments, like a thief in disguise, Immersed in parks, birds, and poetic sighs.

Oh, how I yearn for those enchanting days, When flowers bloomed and butterflies would grace my ways. Words fail to capture the ache, the longing profound, For her, oh, how desperately I yearn, I'm bound.

Metaphors flow like rivers, tears an ocean vast, Water, my obsession, a theme unsurpassed. My breath, condensed in the cold, rises high, Whispering unspoken truths, to the clouds, they fly.

Burdened by rainy nostalgia's cleansing tide, Each droplet washes away the past's murky stride. But as it cleanses, it also dampens my soul, A bittersweet symphony of sadness takes its toll.

Rain, enigmatic muse, granting life, yet pain, A paradoxical dance, a complex refrain. Farewell, a sweet sorrow, forbidden path I tread, Oddly feeling right, as if destiny had led.

Selfish it may seem, but to be missed is my plea, Releasing my grasp, setting her spirit free. For only in goodbyes, love's truth shall reveal, Who I truly cherish, who my heart truly feels.

Melancholy swirls, but I embrace its embrace, Preferring to feel than be numb, lost in space. Apathy, a haunting specter I resist, For in feeling, I find solace, a purpose persist.

Today, optimism blooms, casting shadows away, But tomorrow, sarcasm and wit shall hold sway. Such is my nature, ever-changing, ever alive, A reflection of the day, I strive to survive.

Through the parting's pain, a glimmer of light gleams, A fragment of hope amidst the shattered dreams. Yes, I shall miss her, a bond unbroken, Our farewell, an eternal thread, a token.

C'est la vie, I say, as her words echo, She resides within my soul, a forever tableau. In introspection's realm, I wander and roam, Captivated by memories, seeking solace, my own.

A Blank Verse Poetry

I ran this morning. Gray sky, nothing special. Weather that doesn’t force you to feel anything. Usually, I wander without purpose. Today, something stopped me. Time is a trap. We pretend it’s limited, but it isn’t. So we rush through it—steps, choices, life—until it all blurs. The small things disappear. The smell of earth, the quiet air. Gone. A song got stuck in my head. “I’ll stop the world and melt with you.” Unwanted. Persistent. How did it get in? Maybe fate. Maybe nothing. I don’t believe in destiny, but here I was—stuck in the sound, stuck in a loop. The world paused inside me. I didn’t move. The day went on. Hands trembled—not from connection, but from the weight of existing. Scars on skin—maps of past failures. Nothing clean, nothing clear. I touched a cheek. No softness. Smoke? Habit? Grip loosened—like sanity slipping. Wanting to let go, but afraid of the emptiness that follows. I kissed a cheek. A stupid move. A laugh broke the silence. A glitch. A mistake. Coffee a...

The Slow Death of the Familiar Lie

The 2025 elections just ended. Not with fireworks, not with riots—just the quiet unraveling of yet another chapter in our nation’s long and complicated dance with democracy. There’s something different in the air this time. Something subtle, like the way dusk falls before you even realize the day is gone. You feel it before you name it: a shift. Not seismic, perhaps not even visible to the untrained eye. But there, like a whisper at the edge of a crowded room. People have grown wiser. And no, this isn’t naive optimism. It’s not the kind of blind faith that wears campaign colors and chants slogans. It’s the kind of wisdom that comes from repeated heartbreak—from choosing hope too many times, only to be betrayed by men in suits and smiles. From believing in change only to see it morph into the same old trapo politics dressed in newer fonts. “Pain is a brutal but effective teacher—especially in a country where memory is often the first casualty of every election cycle.” But maybe ...

The Tension Between Hope and Despair

This is w here the light breaks just to drown. Hope isn’t some pretty thing. It’s a slow burn that keeps you awake at night, fooling you with a whisper, “Maybe this time.” It digs its claws in, even when everything screams you’re done. Hope’s the hook you can’t shake, even when it’s tearing you apart from the inside. Despair doesn’t wait politely. It crashes in like a storm, cold and sharp, and it doesn’t care if you’re ready or not. It doesn’t dance with hope—they fight. It’s brutal, ugly. Despair wants to swallow everything whole, leaves no room for mercy. There’s no peace between them. It’s a war you didn’t sign up for, but you live it every damn day—grasping for that fragile flicker, even as the darkness tightens around your throat. You hold hope like a lifeline but feel despair pulling the knot tighter. No balance. No graceful dance. Just a mess of broken promises and shattered dreams. Hope keeps you chasing ghosts; despair waits, patient, knowing it will win. And the worst p...
