Slow Fall

sink . . . 

sinking down the drain.

drain . . . 

the easiest way to get rid of emotions.

emotions . . . 

no one sees the point of them.

them . . . 

who are they? why are they here?

here . . . 

no one knows where home is. where can I find it?

it . . . 

a two-letter word that can hurt; no one notices. 

notice . . . 

how much you want to be seen by others.

others . . . 

why do you care so much for them? what did they do for you?

you

no one can find the words, not even you.

  • The Sun In Sight

    Perspective in the palm of my hand
    Fast, slow, fallen like sand
    Goals to achieve
    Missions to chase
    Minutes, seconds
    Failure at the end of the race
    Pick me up, piece by piece
    Paradox insight
    We had the time of our lives
  • Lost

    I wouldn’t go that way if I were you.

    The maze is too good to be true.

    Magical creatures from here and there.

    Enter if you really dare.

    You’ll lose track of time.

    You’ll soon begin to climb.
