Poem: Anger

Teeth grit like vice grips on steel. The metallic hiss rings unforgivingly long. I raise my hands to the air Empty handed I surrender. Empty handed I look for answers. Yet none rings true for this.

Poem: Timeless Beauty

Timeless beauty. What a contradiction. Will you still love me, When my hair loses thickness? When my skin starts to wrinkle? When my youth is but memory in the distance?   Time. It’s bittersweet.

Like it’s going by too quickly. Asking ‘where does it fly’?   Time – isn’t it a peculiar concept?Continue reading “Poem: Time”

ASMR – The Weird Addiction

ASMR – ‘Autonomous sensory meridian response’ Or In other words: The triggering of a tingling-like sensation spreading from the scalp down the spine as a result of visual or auditory stimuli. Or in other words: A brain gasm! Over the passed couple of weeks I find myself watching and listening to more and more asmrContinue reading “ASMR – The Weird Addiction”
