  • THE WRATH OF THE BROKEN

    I carried the wrath of the broken.

    Or maybe—

    It carried me.

     

    Are we broken for the better,

    Or just addicted to the dark?

     

    A rose in the mud.

    Wrong side of midnight.

    Nothing grows here—

    It survives.

     

    Shadows of old friends

    Linger longer than they should.

     

    Laughter echoes—

    Warped now,

    Still sharp enough to cut.

     

    There is a stillness

    Between breaths.

     

    Not peace—

    Just pause.

     

    We reach for it anyway,

    Mistaking silence

    For healing.

     

    Trapped in the quiet unravelling,

    We miss the tremors

    Of collapse.

     

    No impact.

    No warning.

     

    Just the slow, sinking truth—

     

    We were never fighting anything else.

     

    We became

    The enemy

    We swore we’d never face.

  • ALL THE YEARS COLLIDED

  • My tears remain the same, but I will never be that me again.

  • Untitled post 852

    Tra fiori selvatici e vino, I toast the ghosts that never learned to leave me.

    I tear the petals, I drain the bottle, I dare the night to swallow me whole.

    I bloom where I burn.

  • Covid-19 – Coronavirus

    Covid-19 – Coronavirus

    Quarantine.
    Isolation.
    The world is falling into desolation.
    Ravaged by a disease that controls the population.

    Stay inside,
    Stay at home,
    Follow the rules,
    Or face the consequence of police discretion.

    Fines, fines,
    Trying to stay alive,
    As it spreads people drop like flies.

    Normal is long gone.
    Restriction is the new norm.
    Society conforms, some rebel,
    Only to prolong the quarantine hell.

    Covid-19
    Coronavirus infection.

    Man-made or human error?
    Evolution of influenza.
    Or earths way of clearing out the disease that is us human beings?
    Either way it is happening, and we must face it head on.

    Prevent.
    Retreat.
    Flatten the curve.

    But people would rather panic buy,
    And turn everything into chaos.
    Stupidity at its finest.

    It has shown our weakness and enraged our fears.
    This is our new normal,
    But for how many years.
