...they sent me to the slaughter and blamed me for dying.

Rebels, here in the land of rebellion still get shunned for rebelling.

What is rebellion even, for to the fish— breathing the cool crisp air is rebellion.

And in the land of rebellion not rebelling might even be the rebellion.

What're the seeds of happiness? What're the seeds of hope?
What're the seeds of success?

What better way to live than to burn. Let the seabed keep my bones. My sky-torn wings will haunt the sun.

kodaq @kodaq.bsky.social · Jun 10

Like a match struck in a storm, I’ll spit light before the wind claims my scorched remains.

If success flees the horizon, I’ll grip failure like a trophy— proof I flew, not fell. Is it not the journey rather than the destination? The burn— never the ash?

Icarus

I'll fly past the sun— let my wings char to charcoal constellations.

Let the atmosphere thin and the wax burn with excruciating grace. Let me fall from a thousand feet and crash into the waiting palms of the ocean— at least I know I have flown.

Did you offer him a tissue for his tears or rock his silent storms whispering sweet nothings that he might have even a moment of respite?

Or call on his birthday hailing him for another round made, another year closer till his departure?

Yet you call him friend.

Friends

You call him friend but
Your ears were waxed shut while his eyes bled.

Weren't your hands tucked into your pockets as he gasped for air amidst the cold dark river, the roots pulling him under?

When he outstretched his hands didn't you look down with disgust and scrunched up your face?

Unheard Beats

If the world was reversed
Silence becomes sounds
Sounds become Silence
My life would be
An Eminem concert

Ash on my tongue, I turn
From splintered wood to unmarked stone—
Sinai’s shadow calls

I climb Sinai
I will wait on the Lord
I will tarry in His presence

Then will I jump over walls
I will break bows and arrows
I will be the forge where trials are tempered.

Arrows and Bows

The time for testing has come
My bows and arrows are broken
The walls have fallen

Woe unto him
That hopes in arrows and bows
And in strong walls

Reminds me of someone
Who have got it all, thinking
She can take over the world

Yet when life hits
Delusions crumbles
At the feet of reality

Also of another
Who even at
Reality's feet

Broken and hurt
Picked the pieces of her dreams &
Made it their reality

Korra

She Was the proverbial mirror
Through which we see
Our flaws.

So you pick twigs of her head,
Carrying around
A log on yours

She was the best of us
We can hope to do
Only a quarter of what she can

Yet, when it time for the testing
Like a sandcastle
She fell

Feeling immortal
We live our lives
Ignoring him

But one day
It would be our time
Our clock ticks its last

Someone will stand
By the side
Sighing in pity
That it is not there time

Eulogy

Life, what a concept
You have it today
It is gone the next

When someone dies
We sigh with pity
Slightly relieved
That it is not our time

Death stands
Looking from the side
Biding his time

Silent Keys 2

A blinking cursor (5)
A page’s hollow glare (6)
A mouth full of unspilled ink (7)

Singing

Can you hold a tune at all?
Pitch control, its rise and fall?
Next the timbre of your voice
Could be an important choice.

Can you keep on time throughout?
Breath control, project don't shout?
Then enunciate each word
So that you'll be clearly heard.

Who Dies for Me?

I light a thousand lanterns—
Who sees my wick drowning in wax?

I cloak the world—
Who darns my frayed sky?

I cradle every scream—
Who rocks my silent storm?

I dig graves for strangers—
Who carve my name into wind?

Silent Keys;

Pulsing Cursor -
Frozen Letters -
A silent drum...

Beyond the isle
Of the storm
The center cannot hold
Things falls apart

The rudder is broken
The compass is cracked
The captain is dead
Visibility is zero

Hope is the destination
Faith is the compass
The earth gives way
Only God can save us

Beyond;

Their is a point
Beyond the yonder
Where no flesh abounds

Where the North fails
Where the divisor
Reduces to zero

Dare to Be;

If you dare to be
If you dare to know
If you dare to behold

To lay hold
On varieties of things
In the environment

Of the Holy Ghost
Don't dare to dream
Dare to Be

I am going to a place
Where grace is tangible

Where the glory is the reality
Trust abounds

Men walk on water
Water turn into wine

Their will be storms
Waves that cripple the best of sailors

Their is a Spirit;
Their is a Name;

Their will be men,
The power of the age to come
