The meaning of life

Ellipsism. Top Story - June 2023.
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space Or so they say Within the depths Of star-scattered galaxies Floating in this aeonian void Her screams were all that I could auralize Amplified a million times Attained crescendo My mind tormented me with all her screams Her scream of ebullience When I returned home after several months Her scream of incredulity When I said I'm leaving again on another mission Her scream of denial When I told her how long I'll be gone Her scream of devastation When I said I might not survive to return to Earth Her scream of agony When I bid her farewell The loop repeated continuously A never-ending cacophonous mantra Incipient epiphany Do I need this pyrrhic victory? Is my mission worth losing her? Losing me? Losing us ? Isn't there a panacea for this? I reminisced our halcyon Our propinquity I'm unable to handle this anymore A scream of anguish left my throat I'm glad it cannot travel through vacuum Because I wouldn't want her to hear me perish Cerebrally Corporeally Permanently

Fragments of Love
In the realm of sorrow's embrace, A tale of love now lost, I trace. Within these verses, words shall weep, As heart's fragments, forever keep.

Shattered Dreams
In shadows deep, where pain resides, A broken heart in tatters hides. I pen these words, my soul laid bare, A requiem for love's despair.

Eternal Metamorphosis
In the cosmic tapestry, a story unfolds, Of human existence, a tale to be told. From birth's sweet embrace to the twilight of years, A symphony of moments, joys, and tears.

Unyielding Radiance
In shadows deep, where doubts reside, A beacon shines, its glow untied. Confidence, a steadfast grace, Unveils the strength within this space.
