~selkie:: in the sempiternal inner calling
The one thing which we seek with insatiable desire is to forget ourselves, … to lose our sempiternal memory, and to do something without knowing how or why….” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
she
has appeared
for me ..
watching me
following me ..
an intervention
decodes me this
now…
will i be able to
sense her presence ..
she had risen for me
from the deep seas
.. in her enchanted seal
form .. her dense shiny skin ...

Blame the prey
You can tell the sheep
to look less delicious,
but that won't prevent the wolves
from getting hungry.

legit
I've been feeling claustrophobic, I mean like static inside my body
internally reaching out to touch the sky
my soul longs to fly
take a breath and take flight
nothing hindering me
changing the vibe on the airs
because lately it's been frantic
fanatical, got me fearing war
getting all kinds of noise from the left and right
my fears are legit
my heart swells, then fails me
watching the plight of the Earth
humanity is hurting
animals are suffering
everyday on the net I'm left crying
my empathy...

crustaceans parade
from highly salted
& pressurised mid-seas ..
inspired from the so
recent news …simmering
in bloodied human hunger..
towards
namesake summoned peace
treaties of the tricky capital..
wearing their trending
military-labelled terrorism ..
enroute the trading roguish
& pirating- the deadly silent Atlantic..
they had sumptuously drunk in their
quizzically coloured beverage.. that’s
ubiquitously smothering the seas
in nacreous rainbow
spills- those...

Primal head
It's chaos like yours
dragging animals
out inside of us
who have tired eyes
unable to peacefully
sleep in darkness
waking up to the
sound of pindrops,
watching shadows
crawling over walls
wondering if little
nightmares playing
endlessly on loops
will ever be over
the creak of a
door, the sound
of a pattering
foot, the claws
tucked away
into pillows
ready to
strike up
like hot
matches.

Bears
In the dense forests, bears roam curiously,
their heavy paws tread softly.
Ancient survival rituals.
Marked trees, scratched bark, sustenance.
They move with grace despite their size.
Instincts honed over millennia.
Mothers protecting their young, teaching them to fish,
climbing, seeking shelter.
But the world is changing,
the forests are becoming thinner,
the ice is melting,
the seasons are changing,
their habitats are shrinking,
food sources are dwindling,
invisible borders are approaching, ...
their heavy paws tread softly.
Ancient survival rituals.

But the world is changing,

the ice is melting,
the seasons are changing,
their habitats are shrinking,

Where Swans Go to Die
Beneath the world, where whispers fade
A realm of shadows cold and stark
The path in death is arrayed
Where swans go guided by the dark
The walls are stone, like frozen breath
Their veins of moss, a pale decay
A hymnless choir, the song of death
In echoes lost where none shall stay
Each mummified face, a silent scream
Their sockets wide with horror's plight
As if caught within some endless dream
Where dawn forever yields to night
The air hangs thick, a stagnant pool
A crypt of ages locked in time
As though...
A realm of shadows cold and stark
The path in death is arrayed
Where swans go guided by the dark
The walls are stone, like frozen breath
Their veins of moss, a pale decay
A hymnless choir, the song of death
In echoes lost where none shall stay
Each mummified face, a silent scream
Their sockets wide with horror's plight
As if caught within some endless dream
Where dawn forever yields to night
The air hangs thick, a stagnant pool
A crypt of ages locked in time
As though...

Question!!!
Do y'all believe in speciesism? I didn't even know it was a concept. I know the majority of readers of this post will be non vegetarians and I heard two pov's- their lifestyle, their choice and second that it's a simple concept where we're hurting and eating animals. What do y'all think? It should be a concept or is it an annoying truth?

The Owl perched on the Giraffe's head.
The owl, silent and wise,
observes the world with attentive eyes.
Its soft feathers
its serene flight soothes the soul.
The giraffe is tall and very majestic.
The owl brings with it the charm of the night,
flying without making a sound,
teaching patience and the art of observation.
Its presence inspires reflection and serenity.
Is a silent keeper of the secrets of the night,
a companion who shares the wisdom
of the stars and the mystery of the shadows.
The giraffe, on the other hand,
offers an elevated...
