To find satisfaction in halfhearted expression is a slow and painful death.

My thoughts can be vintage waves of modern possibilities.

My helpless hands

Wail against your shallow bones

And cry for your dreams of self hatred to end.

Put out these fires

You fool.

It’s all so strange,

I’m seeing faces,

but I can’t hear them speak though,

I guess

it’s because

I’m looking through my window

And then I start to fly,

I’m touching outer space

got a smile on my face

a mile wide

and I wonder why

Peace

Is found

When we reach

For our own pain

Fuck em. Live your life.

[twopathsdiverge]

Rejoice!

My eyes Can find The kind Remind.

Lonely, still,

The sun will shine.

Proven by the passage,

Time.

A lovely sense,

Sight.

How divine.

I reach out my hand in blind hope,

Surprised to find a solid grasp,

But slowly, still,

That will dissolve.

All the more quickly the harder I hold.

Yet still I find my fingers reach.

What good is gold? What’s underneath?

My body aches for tender slumber,

The world is cruel to Those Who Wonder.

Sarah Fathima Mohammed, from "nocturnes in the rain"

[twopathsdiverge]

Be still sweet memory,

Please don’t leave just yet,

I’ve been waiting in ivory towers.

Hard cold marble walls with no doors or windows surround us here,

My silence beckons for your coming,

Just be still.

It’s not the time which passes for you, but the soft kiss of gliding worlds that’s conceived you.

I’ll be your vessel, guide my brush and sword.

To fight wars with a shallow whisper

To build countries with the depth of oceans wide

Be still sweet memory

And I’ll give you my body,

I have no use for it here.

You are amazing, and,

You are loved.

#poetry #thank you #be kind

[twopathsdiverge]

There it is once more

That feeling of bombs

Miles away

Uneasy as easy goes

What mistakes are you making

What anger do you possess

Who are you becoming

Peel back the thin gelled walls that make your flesh feel raw

Become it

Then let it go.
