At Evening When I Arrived - Nowhere A Thousand Imaginations Rose Up In Me Like An Enchantment I Gave

It's really not urgent

You have all the time in the world

Your last seconds

Will be the eternity

Inside a nibless

Fountain pen

everything’s moving too fast

it feels like most days, i’m

standing still, observing the 

movement as it blurs past

my tired vision.

~K.T.

I Gave a Spider Water

...

I held a snake.

I gave a spider water And I may have seen it wave;

I don't know if it was thanking me.

But I knew the snake was curious. Its skin felt cold on mine—

But the spider? I couldn't tell If it was thanking or

Warning me.

At least the snake Could show me its eyes.

The spider just waved and waved.

L. V., i found this poem when you let me walk around your mind

I know you do not exist

But you think you do

Looking for darkness

In broad daylight

A life of commas and semicolons The pauses and hesitations of the ellipsis The catastrophic ending of paragraphs The solitude of the blank spaces And the freedom of the thought never written

Ephemeral blooms

Dress the portico pallid

Yesterday's resolve in soft translation,

Have I always dreamt of fervour

Have I always ached for more

I meet the teasing loss

From where it lingers,

Self evolved lament

It will often be a season

The curious untethered

Reaching out for loves return

Writing stuff when you don't have a full picture yet is fun.

Ah yes, the rumored gender, a rare and elusive sight

FRAGMENTS

Fragments, oh fragments

Small pieces of brokenness

Time chiseled off moments

in detached consciousness

Shattered hope and dreams

In solitary confinement

Fear, in suppressed screams

Enforced early retirement

Retained disappointed feats

Trigger the onset of delusion

Unto bowing lowly in defeat

Reduced to utter confusion

Blasted, stripped of dignity

Unretrieved pieces of unity

Fragments of human sanity

That would be UNPRECEDENTED! You? Writing a thing? Never happened before.

What if I wrote a thing...?👀
