The Encounter

 I

Allow me to race your mind with a story, 

I found a being as I pound the earth, 

The little star in the sky is a replica of her soul, 

But her very passings is a true void of deceit. 

II

My essence resonates with every bit of her presence, 

As her compass leads me to the bearings of her traits, 

I aspire for the flames of her deceit, 

Yet,  I ignored the blame of my desperation. 

III

I plugged my ears to the socket of the creator's word, 

Hoping to find solace in her errors, 

But I was also laced with questions by the creator, 

Why I left my radar unchecked despite the signals, 

Leaving my question unanswered. 

IV

It wasn't a rhetorical though, 

Nor was it a dogma, 

But the nature of life reveals answers to questions unasked, 

As my mind grew the wings of answers to my question. 

V

Life is to love but  not to be blindly led, 

As life is not a problem to be solved, 

So we should know that the secret of true happiness, 

Is not in seeking more

But developing the capacity to enjoy less.

II Voices gather, calling me fortunate, They say to exist is a blessing. Yet I thread my thoughts like a silent song, Winding through the viper’s gut— A gift adrift, unseen, unsung. III Life dances wild in reckless grace, A rise, a fall, a dizzying pace. And in the end, Even the fiercest hearts may break— For Survival spares not even the strongest. . - Fearless Lines ©2024

TIME-LINE

I Have you ever felt like a paper bag? Drifting through the claws of the wind, Like a tattered kite, Moving from its end to its beginning. II Have you ever felt like a strand line on a paper sheet? Whose purpose is to separate the margins. Have you ever felt like a house built with of sand, And with a breeze all becomes sand beneath the feet of men. III Have you ever felt like a living being with no purpose? Or like a dead with no hope? Six feet under with screams and wails, And no one seems to hear a thing. IV Have you ever felt like a living-dead, or a zombie? Having no clues but to destroy. Have you ever felt like a human with the precision of a machine? Like a robot! All for the satisfaction and purpose of another man. V You don't have to feel like an old wine in a new bottle, Like all doors are closed, knowing not one leads to the perfect road. Your very nature is bliss, like a lightening bolt your heart will glow. VI After a hurricane comes a rainbow, When your time is set yo...
