Biography

Writing is a form of art, though often underestimated. A year ago I used to despise poetry but here I am now, needing it to express my thoughts and ideas. They don't always come to life so easily, but it's worth it to keep trying. You shouldn't give up either, the world needs your ideas💗

Bound for eternity

Your hand let me hold Turn your gaze to me Your teary eyes to my own identical Our heartbeats in unison Souls in one combined From birth until death Blood in our veins flowing thick Oh, my past How baneful it is Beyond the limits of sensation Our heartbeats in unison From birth until death Death? But how? Alone I found myself In Hades' cold embrace Alone in our seperate worlds But how much longer? Beyong the limits of sensation Only yours humane Turn your gaze to me For God's sake, look at me! My hand let me raise To hold your own in warmth For God's sake, let me! Empty pleadings, Bitter words gone unheard For the stars a baneful melody An aching lullaby But how much longer? Beyond the limits of sensation My presence you perceived Alone your heart remained alive Beating, hurting Chasing mine But how much longer? And the end finally reached Dusk to dawn, dawn to dusk A sharp knife, intentions murderous Merciless, redemptive Within the limits of sensation Of nature now divine My presence you perceived Now with your own eyes And dancing with the stars From everyone away Our hearts beats together In one tight embrace
