Rebellion

Dathan,

 Korah
and
Abiram
rebelled against Moses
the man of God.

God was angry with the trio
and slew them
in the desert.

Moses
the man of God
spoke
a word:

God honoured

 his word:
the earth
opened its mouth

I Understand Young Adulthood Can Be Depressing

the diploma
a flutter of promises,
like confetti in the gutter,
empty calories of praise.
no one asks how I'm doing
only what I can do
for them.

my phone number a secret,
a currency I won't spend
on acquaintances and strangers
who...

A warning to my next lover

Don’t step into my life with purposely temporary intentions…

And don’t stay if my presence is suffocating or my love just isn’t sufficient

Don’t touch my body, then when I expose my heart act indifferent

Or make friends with my demons but...

The wounded tiger.

The wounded tiger.

On the outskirts of the jungle,
there was a village.
Since dusk to dawn,
people heard the voices of rage.

Many saw its orange with black stripes coat
and the grinning teeth with fierce eyes.
Few found it with startle,

Own

Is it petty to want to own

Could we be us all alone

Like a hurricane had hit our homes

Beloved memories of busy phones

Photographes from skin or bone

New possessions in every tone

Flowers that once stood alone

A million items...

The nearly insurmountable challenge in the Geometry Dash universe

Behold, the wondrous geometry dash,
A classic of mobile devices, it doth flash.
Now, in your browser, it doth reside,
So you can play on PC or mobile, side by side.

Discover the boundaries of your patience's might,
Put your skills to the...

Grief

Grief is like a sour patch kid.
I thought grief was always a bastard,
but I in a weird way,
it's kind of a friend.
It helped me extract an array of people who no longer serve my life in a positive way anymore.
Some things go awry.
Some things...

Remember...

Remember how honesty is the best policy, supposedly?
When honesty is to be with the person who is less judgmental and is able to be helpful indeed,
Remember how liars get what is coming to them?
When karma turns the table and slams against what's...

Where are you...

Where are you mommy?
I was lost in the end,
Where are you daddy?
How do I be a man,
Where are you brother?
We got along so well,
Where are you sister?
Though you hated my flaws,
Where are you mommy?
Because I miss you all,
Will I ever see...

UNTIL THEN WHAT?


But until then, how many fleeting, holy moments do you need to look through the window? But until then, how many broken-winged, pitiful promises are needed to finally believe that all your attempts were in vain? But until then, who will lead the...

***

Ти ніби мала за собою крила,
І я піддався чарам твоїх вій,
Щоби в коханні клястися одній,
Лише тобі віддати серце, мила.

І ця любов, неначе буревій,
Так легко все життя моє зломила,
Що і не знав був я, яка то сила,
Яких вона мені надасть...
