ILLUSION OF WHOLENESS

-

Broken

All of it

I knew it was fragile

So brittle it got shattered.

Then Scattered

All around like it meant nothing,

Thrown out like a disease

Pieces

Broken pieces

One, two, three 

Different shapes

All piled up along what was meant to last eternity

I can't. I couldn't count them.

They are laying everywhere

My eyes trying to join them

I couldn't picture it all

It's as if it went away with what was. 

That which was whole wasn't

Illusions? 

Oh son of Earth and of Starry Heaven. 

Are you thirsty? You asked?

Yes! You know that.

Give me something to drink from your overflowing cup of resilience.

Or is it wisdom?

I dread to stand and cause a storm.

But till then, 

Take this misery away

Far into the dust of oblivion.

DELETE MY NUMBER

  Delete my number because I'm going to miss you. Because you're gonna pop into my mind on a rainy Sunday evening when a whiff of your old cologne catches me off guard- lingering in the corridors like an unwanted guest who was never invited to stay. Because I'm gonna call you to push and follow on the dreams you had. Because I'm gonna call you when I finally get the job you always said I shouldn't give up on, or when I get to places we always wanted to go together and don't know who to text the eager pictures to. Because I'm gonna want to call you when I'm bothered in traffic on a tad-of a civilization city and  wish it were still you I was on my way home to Please delete my number because I'll loose words to tell you when you finally pick my call. Delete my number because this piece isn't enough to express why you should consider deleting my number. @abu_king #Art of Heart.

    I'm still here, Waiting by the river side. It's almost drying up, But I found a spot along the banks. A rock that beneath water spurts. It's little but trust me, I haven't gone thirsty since. Seasons have come, Some were wet, Others were dry So much dry I saw them giving up I tried to stretch my hands, But I couldn't reach them, They dropped down in-front of me. With their eyes staring right into my face Full of anger and pain. I stared back! Deeply.  I tried to search for their faces, But it was too bright, No, too dark. I saw nothing.  It stole everything But the water still flows. Maybe it's me. The Abyss  @art_of_heart

SOMETIMES

    I want to just go away, To travel far, To hug the clouds at the edge of the world.  Away from all this misery, This unending cycle of torture. This unworthy world. That each time I tried to live, It stole away the moment. I want to jump. Jump high and never come back. Fly across the seven seas Maybe swim.  And land my soul wherever feels fit. But not in this heartless world, With it's snaring claws, And it's mouth wide enough, To gulp me away, To rub off all that is of me. But they told me to wait, That these are seasons. Have I waited?  I'm going to sip this glass away, The only truth I know.  That it's a cold world we live in.  @art_of_heart
