Eternal Sunset, Empty Eyeballs





The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.”
― Fernando Pessoa




So empty these eyeballs I see
Dry of imaginations mysteries
Do they feel what I feel?
Plain truth lives deceits

Audience do they seek in me
To witness some silent speech
Far off can they heave?
Into vastness of eternities

Empty eyeballs
Eyeballs emptied

Singular Heart Loves and Hates


You know these things as thoughts, but your thoughts are not your experiences, they are an echo and after-effect of your experiences: as when your room trembles when a carriage goes past. I however am sitting in the carriage, and often I am the carriage itself.
I am a man who thinks like this, the dichotomy between thinking and feeling, intellect and passion, has really disappeared. He feels his thoughts. He can fall in love with an idea. An idea can make him ill.
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra


Can this all be translated ?
All of that I see around
So many dreams, hopes
Beauty, art, love and love lost
Right words I can find
Much I can write
But it's all fleeting
And I forget to stop
A word only writes
And life goes on

What does all this mean to me ?
So many shapes and size
I try and fix designs
Should I open my third eye
Roam in the attics of my mind
Soon everything's so vague
To see a pattern
Of a lantern in the dark
Eyes only see
And life goes on 

I love the words and I hate them too
I see it not and I see it too
Same road, but it goes two ways
Singular heart loves and hates.
