Disclaimer: I'm not a positivity account. I'm a human being with vices & virtues interested in understanding the human experience from a spiritual + materialistic perspective. I'm not here to be another internet Messiah, hide my shadow, or just say life is awesome. That's not me.
Do not meet me
where the sun
shines the hardest.
Do not meet me
where the crowd
frenetically gathers.
Do not meet me
where the roses
spike their thorns.
Meet me instead
where the silence
makes souls pure
...and love endure.

No thief wants to steal sadness
Perhaps a tiny bit of madness
but never a box of tears or grief
Have you ever seen such a thief?
Only angels care for those things:
achy hearts and broken strings;
dirty faces and bloody fingertips
β but thieves? No!
They only care for gold

Few stand the melody of solitude,
for it removes all mirrored images
β the good, the bad, the so-and-so
Who are you without the mirrors?
When no one's looking? Do you know?
Who is the you that you perceive,
when all reflections cease?

note scribbling

How much...

He worked at the library

The war on emotion
set us on a sad mission

Hardwired to love you back
or chained by an old contract

The bibliographic arrogance
that infects us with poor emotions

Scientists tend to hate
#folklore
They don't understand the allure

The world isn't always a

If we dare

Every morning is a

good and

And the me
who weeps,
sobs & bleeds

I let you

my joy
with your hit & run game
but I'm to blame
I let you x-act my heart
with your flimsy words

Your broken record
It's a dead end path
It feels too hard

Because it doesn't last forever
