Almost Everything

Most have often shown envy,
for all these smiles seen upon me,
no stopping time,
which keeps ticking,
nor the followers,
who keep clicking,
solves a quest for what's missing,
almost everything.

Illustrations of a lifestyle,

Balance in Life

This pendulum of life,
Why does it move,
from left to right?

Why does one's heart,
feel full and then empty?

It hurts and then heals,
these emotions we feel.

Haves or have nots,
in the middle, there's a lot.

A goal for harmony

Tarnished Diamond

While donning blinders,
all may not be what it seems,
you may only see the tarnish,
you may miss your everything.

which could start anew.

Destiny has this path,

Love's Salvation

Born via Cupid's Arrow,
confusion thrives in thoughts,
affection yearns not sorrow,
hearts tied in knots.

Patience gone astray,

From the beginning to the end, this passage eloquently describes with brevity, a existentiel struggle within the realm of what was and what is priority in this individual's world. The author provides a unique and abstract perspective of man vs. ideology, the subject character in this poem is described to be transcending beyond a hollow dimension, akin to the physics of a black hole; which draws nearly every ounce of will from the soul. Yet when driven to tge edge of the pyre, the soul masters energy to persevere even in the most dire of circumstances, channeling his selfless love for another human being.
