Byantuyo Rahim Poems

since immemorial it's been tough but
the both of you have been there thru' all
the troubles we have gone thru'
and the alarming times we have passed thru'
...

We are befogged
Since immemorial
We've waited, now
We are impecunious
...

You see, that pool seems so shallow at first,
We rarely think twice before diving in—
But beneath its surface lies something profound,
Something abstract, opaque, yet unseen.
...

Do you remember Skyle Railey? I mean the one from Smile 2. It's weird how her film's song relates to life, right? It's like I feel it was sung for us, the souls that are living equations. The way she says it—we are out of our minds, and the problem is always ours.

We give in so much—the affection we offer is like a whole ocean, where plants sprout from love. We give our whole realm, only meant for us, and we end up wrecked, moving around in times when our hearts are shattered. We're left with remnants of what we once called love, moving in the dark abyss of the present.

i am 17 yet the weight of time feels heavier than my years, i love the water -swimming is the only place i feel weightless
Where thoughts and fears drown,
And i can breath in a world where nothing weighs me down,
i talk a lot,
...

In this dark room. I curl my self and,
I scream out but the echoes return to me,
I whimper and shiver, a quake down my spine,
I can't seem to define this one this time,
...

I want to move to alpaca where the breeze comes
A place where the ocean tides break
I want to feel every atom of the wind
Breath it in and spread my arms out wide
...

You know just like the ocean,
Where waves go back and come back to was the sand away,
Is the same way you are to me -like
Every time you come you pick something
...

I look back at the times I smiled,
When joy and hope once reconciled.
The times my smile lit up the rooms,
Now silence haunts their hollowed tombs.
...

I need someone who will sacrifice their time,
Who'll stand by my side through the steepest climb.
A soul so gentle, yet strong and true,
Who'll make me feel home, no matter the hue.
