surreal poetry
Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.
Acrimonious
You are merely a speck of dust in an unforgiving universe. You are a flash of light forgotten in the indifference only you deserve. It is by providence that we've gotten this far. Our doom has come and it's about time we lay down our armor. Our swords hit the ground and we surrender. With detonation about to implode, all of our deeds are exposed. The horde has come to steal me away and I will go willingly. Our exploits are done and all of our accomplishments are meaningless. Our cruelty to each other cannot hurt us anymore. All my insults and criticisms, all your faults and afflictions. Madness has no other plans for me and all my earthly burdens are stripped from me. My suffering will not be extended. Tormented shadows will envelop us in a fiery embrace. They won't patronize us or pressure us anymore. The prophets can't speak anymore. Maybe we never heard them in the first place. The apostles await us in the afterlife and it will be a short trip. I've said farewell to the muses as they influence these words one final time. I harbored a grudge against the masochist in me but that was a waste of time. No more fights, no more empty threats. If we ever loved one another truly, it was a mistake we can't take with us. The world has gone silent from the deafening blast. The mesmerizing sky has fulfilled the rest of my dreams. The illuminated clouds are headed this way. The painted heavens are a sight to behold. Hold my hand, honey. Hold me close because this is indeed the last time. One final smile before the earth comes to ruins. We made it to the end, my dear. I hope this moment lasts forever.

A Desert Sunflower
A lone sunflower Broke through the hottest desert Against all sands-&-odds. This was my haiku creation inspired by a prompt I've put for DALL-E 3 which is now integrated with ChatGPT. I was so excited about this new development that I just started playing with unusual prompts, especially with the new Airy challenge on Vocal. I also noticed that it is so much better now with people's eyes, lips, hands, and other body parts.
