Poems Are Just Word Structures, Sometimes Devoid Of Poetry. Poetry Goes Far Beyond Words. Images Are

the field is not infinite - do you remember when I realized? spacious nowheres torn by the heft of nameless graves - mountains, body-made, bloating beneath the sun - there is no protection from the world, it is something that happens to you -

I know you do not exist

But you think you do

Looking for darkness

In broad daylight

Maaaaaaan, this is good. I love your stuff

Hello Realm! A brief showcase of different oc regions

Song: 안녕 아희 (feat.UNI)

Light City

Imitate

You run

And I follow

But the chasing I do

Has left me hollow

ON THE BRINK

Standing on the brink

A humble grail in hand

Contemplating that clink

According to thy command

Boisterous play, or high jinks

As the mist begins to clear

I await in the morning chill

The Passover of my fear

Oh! Silently, in the still

Whether far or near

None

everything’s moving too fast

it feels like most days, i’m

standing still, observing the 

movement as it blurs past

my tired vision.

My father’s laughter  

Was so loud,  

I could never tell if it was joy or pain.  

What a terrible thing it is,  

To watch your father’s pride  

Fade away  

I’m sorry you had to carry a weight  

You never asked for.  

I miss you.
