Darkness
In a dark place
Where I don’t know myself
Who am I?
What’s my reality?
Am I for real?
Or a mere imitation?
Am I important?
Am I nothing?
Or everything?
Am I I, or you?
In a dark place
Where there is no yesterday
No tomorrow
No today
In that dark place
Let me lie down
And rest awhile
Let me die a little
To live for you
Let me rest let me rest.

Stuck inside a limbo of living
I am never really alone here
But here loneliness is the sea on which this whole existence floats!
With the hollow smiles and costly dresses
We have beautifully masked ourselves with lively faces!
Every moment here burns my hope to live
While I am sentenced to be with known strangers!
This life here is an statement of loss
With zero expectancy for a gain
So I'll try to escape as long as
I am sane
To hope I'll find my Home again!

The Limbo
To a place where it
stops making sense
and the mind
becomes brittle.
Some call it peace.
Others, think of it
as an end to
their sanity.
For me, it is a
limbo between
the two.

Uncertainty
Scouring Winds of confusion in a land of darkness
The gales slicing at your body and mind alike
Times when will be your only aegis
Against these blades that dice your cowering psyche
A faint voice riding the winds and shadows
Urging, to understand this complex phenomenon of confusing muddleheadedness
Is this what I need ?
To understand and interpret?
Well, take a hike old morons
Tis neither a fantasy nor an anthology but the deadly game of life
To brood over these shadows is the occupation of those doddering fools
In their vain search for the world's ethereal rules
Son bend the winds to your steellike will
Forge your armour and charge uphill
Just close those desperate eyes
And grow out of those cimmerian nights

Limbo
Stuck in between two worlds
Fantasy and reality
I live in neither
Caught between one and the another
Constantly looking for answers
Trying to keep hold of my sanity
Having all these troubles hurled
At me, keep me off balance

Voices in my head...
All I could do was run
Run away to survive .
But how do I run away
from the voices in my head ?
When days are darker than nights
the silence burn my head
more than the inferno that surrounds me .
Everything seems to grim in this dead "coldness"
Something awaits to erupt like a volcano
finally tryin to let out what it held
from ages old..
In this never ending maze
In this frozen gorge , clinging on to
warmthness is excruciating
The wind stronger and heavier like never ,
People get stuck in this limbo of gelidness .
The wintry alley is as cold
as the heart of evil men .
Yet from time to time the time - poor souls
fail for a pause , fail to see
through those ailing masquerades ,
The voices that go unheard .
Yet for me , it's those unsusually
eccentric voices
that lies deep down in the unknown
enabled to thrive in this wintry frozen gorge !

Live, repeat, repeat..
I look to the past,
it's safe there,
I know it.
I've been there..
i've lived it,
it was hard at times,
i've got scars to show it.
My memories,
mostly happiness,
a share of sadness
scattered through it.
In the albums,
in the letters,
in the keepsakes,
a heart,
you drew it.
Yet in this limbo,
there's a future,
looking forward to
lives ahead.
And in the distance,
this is the past
Bookmark this chapter...
In your head.

Halfway
I've walked miles enough to know ,
I should be reaching there so
I could feel happy once again.
my body feels the constant pain,
how much I've worked hard ,
till this point from the start ,
but it feels like I'm always halfway there ,
no matter how much i walk in this way
when am I gonna feel I'm okay ?

Waves
And some days when I ride the streams of consciousness, I cherish the feeling of being so lost and so numb. A place where your memories are just on the surface; not contagious. I ride those waves and give in to the urge to just take a dive right into a limbo.

Bind Me
I love to tease him;
Oh! The way he begs...
any little bit he can get from me;
In between my legs.
I get off knowing that he does too;
Encouraging him brutally,
a maddened coup;
Dangerously close, too close to the edge,
Lets fall over swiftly, the future to dread.
I'm happy to call him master,
but I too like control...
I'm happy to switch,
to change up the roles...
Bind me. Blind me. Fuck me. Love me.
Drink me. Sink me. Fill me in your love.
Bite me, scratch me, cuff me, snuff me...
Because down here? Well, anything goes.
So close to heaven and so close to hell;
Fucking me madly, a perilous trail.
I fell from grace, further astray,
Out in the deep, the negative space.
Limbo; for the drunks and the hedonists,
The unfaithful, finding love;
A hole of nothing but deep despair,
I never wanted it like this, my God I swear.

Amen
As a sit in a pew entirely too small for anybody
I couldn't help but focus on the message
I couldn't tune it out even if I could
Its staleness puts me in daze
Stuck in between believing and not
May lord have mercy on our souls
I have faith in they but it didn't come from praising him in worship day in and day out
©drtjeckleburg -
I am growing restless
As I slowly cross the days
Away on my calendar
There is change in the wind
With each breath I take
It settles into my bones
Causing this incessant rattle
As I impatiently wait
For the circled date
To finally arrive

Not Your Breakfast Club Or Your Mean Girls
We are far from your cliché clique
who on wednesday’s wear pink
or carpool to school
in a soccer-mom style SUV.
We don’t wear
our friendship bracelets
on our wrists,
but on our hearts to avoid
wear and tear.
We are not eachother’s
best friend’s forever,
but brothers and sisters
attached not at our hips,
but by our hearts.
We are the ones who you’ll find
looking out into the distance
under the stars
asking the man himself,
“What even is life?”,
followed by smiles
aimed at each other and saying,
“Life is this,
and
life is us.”

O.C.S.
For the past 7 years,
every time I have felt lost,
you have always made sure
I am found.
In my times of distress
where I sensed the end was near,
you never failed to stress
it was only a new beginning.
The days where
I would seek closure
in the shadows
of my claustrophobic anxiety,
you showed me
I had to let them walk
so I could run.
In my endless affairs
with the mistress of love
where I never felt myself satisfied,
you’d tell me finding it within myself,
along with all my imperfections
was the closest I’d ever reach
to the Disney movie sonnets.
7 years and counting,
I still find myself
using everything you’ve given me
every single day.
I remember to never
sacrifice my childhood
for the gods of the status quo,
fall in love with the music
my soul sings,
and to always wear myself
with all pride and no shame.
Our friendship that I
wake up and fall asleep to
will forever be a priceless gift,
however,
being your best friend by chance
and sister by choice,
will always be a true honor.

DNA
I,
with an everlasting bondage
to your soul
as yours grew inseparable
with mine,
we vowed to be
seamlessly laced together
until the end of time.

Cuban Coffee
Grinded into a fine,
delicate dust,
it still manages to
always pack
my favorite type of punch.
Dark yet subtle,
sweet yet bitter,
I take a slight sip
as the coffee grounds
find home in my body,
and in me,
buries the very roots
of my culture.

my sunflower;
you let your leaves absorb the rain and renourish you
how on the bright days you shine brighter
than the sun itself
and
stand taller over all things beautiful;
How on the days with
light and heavy storm
you absorb the rain
and let them not droop your petals
but strengthen them
How i aspire to be your sunflower
as next to you,
simple is always beautiful.

I know I'm cheating myself with lies.
Everyday, every second, every instant,
Just alive, but not living.
I keep telling myself
The same lie over and over again,
In hopes that the truth
Will become a forgotten dream
And this, my reality.
I know it'll be harder with time
And I need to face it soon,
Before I lose myself
In a deep seated limbo with no escape.
But I wonder, won't that be better?
I won't be flitting,
Confused between dreams and reality,
Truth and lies, desires and expectations.
I'll be somewhere new,
Where neither can touch the other.
Where nothing means anything,
And then, maybe,
I'll have found meaning in my existence.

Sometimes you just feel empty. Wanting to do nothing, just waiting. Waiting for what? You don't even know. But that's a part of life. It's ok. Don't worry.

El desamor,
como símbolo del limbo,
entre el amor más vivo,
y la inexistencia del mismo,
se refugió a medio camino.
