I carry thoughts that do not fade
they move quietly in the shadow
the dark side of the moon speaks
what is hidden is still relevant
silence is not absence but a space
where reality waits to be acknowledged
and where every person carries a truth
even if it is rarely spoken.

Mad World from Tears for Fears
My vision to me, it’s a man in silence, with a ghost behind him that never lets go. It feels like the emptiness Mad World sings of.

"There is a majesty and mystery in nature, take her as you will. The essence of poetry comes breathing to a mind that feels from every province of her empire." ~ Thomas Carlyle

A rose stands in shadowed soil
burden carved into the soul
dreams fall into endless night
self preservation a sacred chain
yet petals whisper of freedom
#achievable for the brave
who walk the abyss
and claim the dark as home

Simple Minds - See The Lights

Where shadows reign
this song breaks through
like a silent flame
a light that never dies
and on my darkest days
it shines as a small beacon
that lifts me up
reminding me
of what can still be #achieved

Captured in black-white
I let color escape free
shadow bears my being
between light and empty space
a forgotten breath still blooms

The water enfolds my being
like a veil of silence
Waves whisper in my heart
revealing hidden truth
Shadow breathes with life
and light weaves freedom
Beauty unveils not in clarity
but in the depth of shadow
Where the secret of existence
finds its #measure and finally reveals itself.

That's a shame... charity shops usually hold the best surprises.

She is a forsaken soul
wandering
through cryptic halls
silence drips like wax
her breath
falters in shadow
hope withers in frost
voices toll
like ravens in mist
the abyss
with specific hunger
devours memory
mercy and meaning
in eternal lament.

Lightning tears
through endless night
Fire and frost
burn within my soul
Storm whispers
truth and illusion
With each flash
darker power rises
Elements dance
wind, fire, frost, lightning
Shadow takes #action
inside me
I exist as mystery
in darkness.

Every contour whispers memory
trees wrapped in mist
black and white fading like time
Silence holds #options
of growth or disappearance
a landscape breathing
between haze and emptiness
where nature softly
guards its secrets.

I fold into the forest
hair unraveling into root
limbs brittle with silence
Reality does not reflect
it devours
a slow erosion of self
I kneel
not to belong
but to vanish
to become
what cannot be named.

Where light falls silent and shadow listens
a path of forgotten wood unfolds
Each plank whispers a memory
each leaf breathes the unsaid
Between the pale and the dark
dwells the mystery like a breath
invisible, yet felt by those who dare to wander🖤🤍

Blindness is no #issue
Silence is
Music clawed through my ribs
a black mass in minor keys
It didn’t heal
it haunted
it held
I bled in tempo
Darkness saw me
Sound saved me
Each note a wound
each chord a cry
I stitched my soul with noise
and silence never dared return.

In a world where humanity evaporates
I dissolve into silence
My name erased
My breath digitized
They summon numbers
I remain still
For i am no longer flesh
I am a whisper
A phantom
A flicker in the code
A forgotten verse
In their sterile hymn.

Lost... in the middle of nowhere
Found a boat
No oars, no hope
Just me, the ghosts of bad choices
and a lake
that reflects everything I tried to forget.

Hate is human. Not beautiful, not desirable, but real. This is no call or judgment, just a #myth of healing whispered in the dark. A hand that writes so the heart won’t break. My pain, my echo, my truth.

In the hush of midnight
music drips from broken strings
A #measure of sorrow
lingers in the air
Words bleed into silence
unread, unspoken
The moon watches, indifferent
We write not for light
but to echo what the dark refuses to forget🖤🤍
