Worthiness

Clothes spilling over the edges of my bed,
My closet, skin peeled open, showing the world her secrets
And mine.
Buried beneath nights of dreaming and broken jewellery,
Hidden under my bright scarves and a thread of hope
That all the stories and poems I've
Written in the dark
Spilling and scratching
Ink and graphite 
On papers and scraps
Despair. Longing. Love.
Would all come to light 
Just as sure as the Earth's gravity anchors me to the mud
And the slight tug of the moon, all the way across
Vast oceans of space, causing the water to rise and fall
Like my chest as I breathe.
Will these letters ever spell anything as beautiful
As the beauty I witness?
My mind in a tumult.
But my heart beats steady.
I am worth the universe.

Blackhole

There are things I whisper to the darkness.
They never leave my lips,
but their echoes twirl and trail sparks up my soul.
Fleeting.
Ephemeral.
Filling up the void 
where even light doesn't dare to exist.
Yet, my dreams have found a home in that starless night. 
Daring to live. Daring to hope.

Humanity: A Tragedy

Spinning through the void of the universe,
A rock filled to the brim with creatures.
A miracle. An oddity.
The product of infinite events that 
Happened just right.

Swimming along the ocean of life,
Blessed to live without strife.
Evolution. Progression.
Yet we aim to crash, burn and destroy
Our only home.

Sprinting across the race of time,
Doing anything to win, even crime.
Greed. Jealousy.
Corruption within nations, families and
Even our souls.

Searching within the folds of our galaxy
For another habitable planet reality.
Desperate. Hopeless.
As we continue to not preserve what
We already own.

So all I have to say
Is to someday
Realize we are the ones who have to make way
To save our future and last another day.

Stop our selfishness and sway
Everyone around us to repay
The things we took for granted, okay?
Otherwise, we’ll witness doomsday.

Ethereal ~ Written on Aug 27/19

27867 seconds. That roughly calculated to eight hours. By now, Fallah had become an expert at calculating the time. It was Time (with a capital T). Everyone’s born with a countdown ticking on their wrists. Numbers that can’t be erased and will never disappear until the clock reaches zero. And zero means that you’ve fulfilled your life’s destiny. The reason you were born.
