Echoes & Ashes

Soft Rebellion

The malignant storm
pummelled windows,
breaking every certainty.
The world cracked open,
letting heartbeats shine.
Shadows whispered threats,
yet love bloomed louder
than the ruins.
A soft rebellion rose,
claiming the space
where hearts once grumbled.

Shattered Memories

The heart reeked with hatred,
the sky
no longer looked sacred.
When I got lost in your memories,
malformed in my own theories,
the clinks of glass
in dimly lit breweries.

Ruins of Rain

Rain felt heavy,
yet
roots drank deep.
What looked like ruin
was just the start.
The downpour pummeled silence,
carving space to be seen.
Growth wasn't gentle;
it's messy,
loud,
abject, and sentimental.
But with each rainfall,
the seed learns to try again.

Stolen Eternity

A fiction stitched
from fantasies
and leftover desires.
The moon played
a prank on time,
stretching one second
into a million sighs.
Two souls collided
at the edge
of a fountain of youth,
while the North Star, shyly,
hid behind clouds drifting south.
