100 yıl Yaşasak da gezsek diyarları,
türlü türlü envai çeşit yesek kavurma ile sebzeleri,
Ne kadar gitmem diye diretsen de kalsan bu dertli dünyada, ölümlüsün çaren de yok bahanen de, gireceksin o toprağa.
Her nefis ölümü tadacaktır der Kur'an, ölümlü olmayı hatırlatır bize kainatı Cihan,
Dertten, tasadan hayat telaşından uzaklaşırken heyhat,
Ölümlü olmanın huzurunu saracaktır bedenimizi gö...
Silence…
Not growing or abating
Is it possible to handle it
Finality is in my name every time I speak it
If I look down at the hole I’ll see it’s taller than I
Can I beg them to make it shallower
Can I be closer to the sky
Can it be my last wish
Before the silence reaches me and all I ever was… an indentation on the crust...
I take a drink
Of sweet nectar
And then I realize it’s poison
What if I crave something poisonous?
I hold the metal blade
It’s cool and soothing
And then I realize it’s a knife
What if I crave something sharp?
I plunge into the water
It swirls around me and I feel at peace
And then I realize I can’t swim
What if I crave something that can swallow me?
What if I crave something that can kill?

It occurred to me this evening
As I was driving on my way
Watching the leaves of fall and
The macabre decorations sway
All the things we’ve come to fear
The things that make us hide our eyes
All the monsters that we shy from
Are the phantom death in disguise
There’s those that now return from death
The skeletons and ghosts and zombies too
And those by rites that conquered death
The mummie...
(i like the word prompt but I CANT DO RHYME SCHEMES ITS NOT MY THING)
I bite the hand that feeds me so that maybe it'll let me starve.
My bones form a cage around my heart, isolating it from anyone who wishes to come near me.
The flesh that covers my body merely represents my mortality.
Humans are fragile.
We hate too easy, and love too hard.
I wish I could love someone.
I wish someone co...
Mortality can be a curse
Just like how immortality can
We hear the stories of mythology
And the gods
And even stories of Thor and Loki
How immortality can be a curse as you watch everyone around you perish
But
Just like those gods
Mortality can be a curse for us humans as well
We have limited time
We never know when something traumatic will happen
Constantly dealing with being broken
...
Ideas are immortal
Humans we are not
Though oddly, in our time here,
We ravage the Earth with fraught
We can’t live forever
But our dreams will live free
Immortal and unburdened,
They’ll flourish in a way humans could never be
Many wish they could live forever
With that I disagree
What if everyone moved on
And I was alone with myself and me?
No, we can’t live forever
So don’t be greedy
Be k...
