How long can you stare at the stillness brought upon by gloominess? Sincerely holding on to the cynic who wants to believe the unbelievable All the images are solitary, if not being bound by surrounding reflections Blue sky responds with a wry smile at the ripples of life’s chaos Faces distorted over the gloomy canvas creased by the daily troubled accents The languages strain for … Continue reading Through The Course Untrue
What drives them in droves towards the futile waves Where everything will be lost or dissolved in no time Some will sink deeper than the known abysses of a land Others may be hauled by the strong current to an unknown shore It started with a trickle of saltiness; now encrusted in its corrosiveness Deep down, the lost objects lose their desirousness It’s all gone … Continue reading They Disappear
