A Quiet Farewell

A Quiet Farewell

by Drakovi Bloodrose 


If I rest here, hidden,  

pressed to the cold steel bones  

running alongside the I-10,  

would the world change without me?  


Would the sky, indifferent, shift,  

or the earth tremble beneath  

the weight of my leaving?  

The ache—heavy, bound in silence—  

spills over, seeps through each wound  

I could never close.


My past follows like a shadow,  

its voice woven into my own,  

its weight unyielding.  

I’ve even shattered love,  

left it scattered like glass,  

sharp edges catching light  

that I can’t hold.


So I lie down, breath stilled,  

letting this final quiet settle,  

untethered from tomorrow,  

slipping softly from this place  

like a whisper fading  

into open air.

Debate Reflections

-
Watching the debate tonight, I felt a sense of reassurance. JD Vance’s calm and composed approach stood out, especially as he emphasized support for Israel while defending Trump’s foreign policy as one of peace. His focus on making the American dream attainable again and his compassionate stance on sensitive issues like abortion showed a depth of leadership that I respect. It’s about supporting a vision that values both strength and empathy, which I believe is what we need right now. Vance truly made Trump's message more relatable and palatable, and that’s something I can get behind.

Love as Maps on the Skin

Love as Maps on the Skin By Drakovi Bloodrose  Lines drawn, unseen yet pressed —   maps only you can read on my skin,   etched like rivers finding paths   in quiet places, winding beneath.   Love hums, silent like ink soaked deep,   circles and spirals, paths tangled and true.   Not paper but pulse, not compass but hum,   a direction felt, no place to come from.   You mark me here, here, then here again,   leaving stars I only see when I close my eyes.   A strange sky painted on a single frame,   where the constellations shift and call your name.   Love is angles that make no sense,   curves of light that bend through air —   a language known by touch, by trust,   a map of everything, everywhere.

Unlocking the Unseen: Navigating the World of Lucid Dreaming

-
In the realms of our subconscious, there exists an uncharted frontier, a subject that often elicits intrigue and curiosity for a few but remains shrouded in mystery and fear for many: the extraordinary domain of lucid dreaming. While society may hesitate to explore the depths of dreamscapes, some find fascination, empowerment, and an uncharted world of experiences in the realm of lucid dreams. As we embark on nightly journeys into the unconscious, dreams often unfold as chaotic narratives, fleeting sensations, or inexplicable enigmas. The fear of the unknown, the unpredictability of dream content, and the loss of control can be intimidating, leading many to overlook the potential for conscious exploration within the dream state. Yet, for those who embrace the concept of lucid dreaming, it becomes an exciting odyssey of self-discovery, creativity, and boundless adventures within the mind.
