I wish I were a painting
Stuck in time
Stuck in paint
In colours fixed
Frozen in place
On one plane
Fragile, carefully preserved
Yet art
Yet beautiful
Yet alive

Can you take away these sounds inside my head
They grow louder in the dark
And louder in the day
They sound like you
And they sound like me
They sound like all the dreams I wished I didn't see
Spectacular
Wearing my glasses upside-down
Doesn't change what I see through them.
The bright is just as bright,
The dark just as dark.
Until I see myself in the mirror.
Until I learn to laugh at myself.
And then something strange happens -
The world looks entirely different.

Ephialtes
The ghosts in my mind
Play a silent lullaby
Prancing in mad glee
To riotous memories
Pulling at the edges
Of nightmares entombed
Six feet under
The sentries surrender
Tired of fighting
Tired of staying
Holding the fort
With swords made of hope
Ghosts in my head
Won't let go of me
So do I
Let them in
To set me free?
~PM
Midnight
Sometimes the heart yearns
For what the mind wants to forsake.
But all the other times,
I just keep believing in you.

If nothing saves us from death, at least love should save us from life.
Pablo Neruda
Delirium
I want to
Hunt your mind.
Leave it bare, leave
Nothing to hide.
Shall I reap,
Shall I tear out,
The things that you keep
Inside?
'Cause I want to
Feel how you feel inside.
Connect the dots
On the inside of your eyes.
Raw and real,
Reveal, your fears
And I'll keep looking
Till I find.
Feel your mind,
Spinning around
In my hands
Inside and out.
Can you see
The rhythm that I dance to?
As I steal
Your sanity and mine.

The Truth About Love.
Love itself is strength.
Bearing the weight of time
On fragile wings of hope.
Is itself endurance,
Rain upon parched earth,
Spring after the cold winds.
Love is imperfection itself,
Crooked nose, uneven jawline
Tempered by faith into beauty.
Fleeting or forever,
Love is timeless.
A testament of weaving souls.
And so, take
This love of mine.
Make it yours, and give it back.
For love is a gamble,
Cards dealt, waiting.
Until all bets are called off.
~PM
This is necessary information.
Evanescent
Oh, it was Destiny,
She blew upon Her flute.
Both hearts - two notes She weaved
Together with Love’s lute -
Sang a song, the fragile strain
That only loving hearts could sing -
A trill, a note, a tender refrain
Spoke of a life beginning.
But, alas, come a Midwinter noon
At the end of a day too short,
The song ended, unfinished, too soon,
The melody was lost.
~PM
For hate is not conquered by hate: hate is conquered by love. This is a law eternal.
The Dhammapada
I don't understand how calling someone a Grammar Nazi is a normal thing to do.
Equate a pedant with a white supremacist, why don't you? And when people say they're "GN and proud"?
If someone is being a nitpicker and an arse, say so. I could provide you with a list of alternatives if needed, but please, think before you call a millennial who has never seen war, a member of the party that spearheaded the worst one yet.
Also, fellow pedants, chill, will ya?
Touch, Endangered
Accursed, this era,
Where the blinking of a phone's light
Holds more anticipation
Than savouring life
As it goes by in the blink of an eye.
Bemoan this culture
Of falling victim
To untouchable faces, where
Unicode characters stand in for kisses.
And yet, in this abyss
We survive, we live, we die.
Telling, isn't it, of who we are?
Replacing cyanide with virtual attention.

“He told me he photographed the things he loved yet he never took pictures of me.
Perhaps he was photographing you in a place that can never fade away, his heart.”
- DG (@fragments-of-my-mind )
“Perhaps he understood that capturing your essence in a photograph was an exercise in futility.
No pixels could possibly define the way you were in his eyes.”

Negentropy
People aren't particles,
Molecules of gas
Floating in space.
We have purpose,
Aim, goals, a reason.
Aspirations, inspirations.
Yet, the mechanics of fate
Throw us in Brownian motion,
Shooting, colliding, escaping.
But it will always be up to us
To use that momentum.
Translate fate into decision.
~PM
Light-years Later
Your kisses were sparkles -
Coruscating neurons.
And now my mind
Is but a skeleton of lights.
Lead Time
In between kisses, tell me
Why my chipped nail polish
Fascinates you so, much more
Than the way I dressed tonight.
Tell me why the sound
Of my laughter - strange and silly -
Makes you pull me closer,
Makes you look at me like that.
My weirdest traits, dearest to you -
Why? I need the equation.
Tell me the factors,
The cause and effect.
I need to know how
You make me feel more
Than I am, could be, ever was -
Beautiful in my self-doubt.
Tell me how you love with restraint,
But kiss with ardour.
For I'll need to remember how,
When, not if, you're not around.
~PM
