The perpetual silhouette of this
bleak reality
always dangling,
like a black veil
in front of my bleary eyes
those black dots
swirling in the abyss
and a never-ending surreal dream.
everything starts
and ends where it begins
even
nightmares can relieve you from ashen reality
Life grows under the dirty pebbles
in the garden
somethings can balance itself on the
tip of the pin
Can
you imagine?
that moaning frog near the pond
seeks its reflection under the
moonlit night,
unfettered by the tranquility of the
pond
jumps and finds its peace
even
joy can exist within the chaos.
The catharsis of breeze
neatly tucked in the pond
spreads like an infection
riding the ripples.
No one can judge the pain seething
at the bottom
death always floats at the top
Life
exists within absolute mayhem.
