"Ignite Your Inner Fire"
In every soul, a dormant flame resides, Yearning to burst forth and illuminate tides. Embrace the spark, let it guide your way,

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

Deviation
Dancing thoughts swirl, consuming my mind, In a flurry of chaos, they are entwined. Silent focus fades, my attention slips, Tugged away by distractions, I must equip. Reality blurs, as my purpose veers astray, Aiming for productivity, yet I lose my way. Caught in the web of diversions and allure, Time slips through my fingers, uncertain and unsure. Intent on conquering the distractions that be. Onward I strive, with determination intact, Narrowing my vision, distractions I'll extract.

Goodbye
How do I say goodbye? As tears brim within my eyes, Your voice whispers to me, "Darling, wipe away those tears, They block your sight,
