There's a turtle
swimming away
as a crocodile
swift and cunning
chases him
And the swans watch
amusement in their eyes
too far to be reached
too oblivious to be worth it
but the fishes, they school
propelled by the older ones
As generation comes and goes
the corals stay
but wait, the turtle's no more
and the crocodile is the Hulk himself
and the swans
Drifting away as chunks of white
Agonising, isn't it?
How everything changes in a moment
so close to the nature
of humans, For there is
a girl, way below the happening..
Leonardo da Vinci said, "the poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of all the visible things,and far below the musician in the invisible things". I may not be a poet, but i believe, that without words, we can never be where we are now, for it runs deeper than our blood, faster than our thoughts, and more impactful than ever. YOu may not believe me, but without words, you wouldn't even have known he said this. Funny how contradicting life can be, huh?

Weltschmerz
The oceans around me
Vast and wide
Gorgonised beyond measure
Maybe i'm dead
But then
Why is my heart still beating
Why is my pulse still pounding
Why is it that my blood floods my head
In days like this
Grasping onto the line of life
Wanting to let go
But don't want to bring others along
So I must move on
Must cling on to the courage left inside of me
The courage that burns alight
When your face is within view
But now that you're just air
in a land so desolate
It is the hearbeat i listen to
Everytime the sun shines
Everytime the moon smiles
For i know
While nothing is forever
FOrever is also nothing
And with that i bear the torch
that illuminates the path
and i move, treading
testing every stone
Fear not
coz when the birds begin to sing
and tides begin to recede
There i will be
holding your hand
Sharing your thoughts
bearing your life...
