The Fleeting Peace of Morning

How can mornings be so still, so kind?

The sun rises from its hiding place,

Yawns across the trees, its warmth aligned,

As birds sing praises, filling empty space.

No voices echo in the air today.

Not even laughter, just a quiet tune.

The peace that holds this early hour at bay,

Will soon be lost beneath the midday swoon.

As time moves on, the calm will start to break,

The rush of life will drown out nature’s song.

The sun will run, the wind will cease to wake,

And night will rise where shadows now belong.

The darkness hums with voices I don’t know,

A language foreign, rising with the breeze.

We lie in wait for morning’s gentle glow,

A peace unpromised, whispered on the trees.

    The River Knows My Name

    By the river’s edge, a woman mourns an unseen child, her voice breaking into mist and echoes. Through shadows, ravens, and restless water, her grief becomes clarity. The River Knows My Name is a gothic meditation on freedom, loss, and the haunting beauty of choices carried alone.

    Eternal Expressions

    Hieroglyphics and statues were not mere artifacts—they were Egypt’s testimony against time. From rigid depictions of divine order to individualized portraits of wisdom, these forms carried memory and spirit. On Poetic Bipolar Mind, I see writing as a similar practice: a modern hieroglyph, preserving lived experience against silence and forgetting.

  • Bound by Time and Memory

    Bound by Time and Memory

    Dave White’s Forgotten Soul and Kiana Jimenez’s poem intertwine in a meditation on eternal love, memory, and entrapment. Chains, locks, and flickering candles mirror verses of clocks and longing, creating a haunting narrative of two damned souls bound together beyond time’s reach, refusing to fade even as shadows close in.
