Māku

Men lead lives of quiet desperation.

Recluse.

[Māku @MarkoSGata]

I put my pain on
the page and hope someone else
doesn't feel alone.

I am going to delve into the #YouTube scene. Philosophical musings, poetry, that sort of thing. Stay tuned. #Sunday #thoughts

"Ignorance is bliss"
as long as you never
read the quote.
As long as you
never know.
The moment one knows,
it cannot be unknown.
Lives spent trying to forget.
Creating new memories
to attempt to erase
the poignant reality
of awareness.

This frail fragile flesh
never fails to disappoint,
daggers here and there,
pain is more than I can bear,
into the darkness, I stare.

[Māku @MarkoSGata]

Rejecting nothing,
accepting without keeping,
mirrors fear no face.
Gazing free of vanity,
loving my humanity.

Not two, not one,
wind passes without a trace,
clouds drift and vanish.
The self I tried to cling to
melts into what always is.

Morning light shivers
as the city's breath quickens,
footsteps without pause
echo through the hollow day,
each moment a drifting leaf.

Thoughts rise and vanish—
yet still we cling to the self,
naming life and death.
The wind does not ask its path,
nor the moon its purpose.

[Māku @MarkoSGata]

Changed and full of dread,
plagued by echoes of himself,
man asks without care
for answers—since even dawn
arrives veiled and faceless still.

@QueenofCups99 Thank you 😊

[Māku @MarkoSGata]

Wide open doorway
to the infinite unknown.
Cerulean blue,
lush verdant green dissolving
into one final silence.

#tanka #poem #poetry #sundayvibes #zen

[Māku @MarkoSGata]

Awake yet hopeless,
dreams beyond the night's shadows,
do not exist here.
My concerns, long faded now,
still whisper through the still air.

#tanka #poem #SaturdayVibes #writing #zen

[Māku @MarkoSGata]

Predicted rainfall,
grey dose of tranquility,
clouds form somewhere from
the enigma of nowhere.
Quiescence resides within.

Frozen betrayal,
my memories swimming in
mesmerizing eyes,
indecipherable choices,
love's indelible voices.

[Māku @MarkoSGata]

Forgotten turmoil,
what does a true face reveal?
Alone is where one
finds themselves gazing within
all the selves we've ever been.

[Māku @MarkoSGata]

The gaul of leaders
to proclaim altruism
with obvious lies.
To this, each of them denies,
working man complies and tries.

#tanka #poem #poetry #MondayVibes #writing

[Māku @MarkoSGata]

A lifelong habit
of chasing every rabbit
down my mind's black hole.
Anxiety overwhelms,
night itself is a nightmare.

#tanka #poem #poetry #MondayVibes #writing

[Māku @MarkoSGata]

Desire dictates
every demand must be met,
each possession set,
some catastrophic regret,
not being in enough debt.

#tanka #poem #poetry #MondayVibes #writing

[Māku @MarkoSGata]

Just one peak below,
small details can dismantle
a life's persona.
Tread the surface with caution,
false steps reveal hidden truths.

@Vroniholzmann Thanks again, much appreciated.

[Māku @MarkoSGata]

Dare venture outside,
become instantly enmeshed
in a web of bills,
serve invisible rulers
who thrive on illusions too.
