evil eyes

 evil eyes, they haunt the sky,

orbit light they can’t survive.

i walk composed, but truth be told,

life cuts deep where thoughts unfold.


my body present, calm displayed,

but my mind still walks the blade.

i smile clean, i move precise,

while shadows linger in my sight.


evil eyes don’t blink for fun;

they stare when something can’t be undone.

they feel the shift before it shows,

they sense the fire beneath the snow.


my mind still dwells where damage lives,

where nothing’s free and all things give.

where every win was paid in loss,

where faith was tested — never soft.


evil eyes must meet my gaze,

not as rivals — as remains.

they look for fear, they look for cracks,

but all they find is built-from-black.


i’ve been the place where hope went quiet,

where prayers felt heavy, raw, defiant.

where i learned silence talks the most,

and ghosts are fed by those who boast.


so if my eyes feel cold to read,

it’s ’cause they’ve seen what kills belief.

i don’t threaten, i don’t explain;

i let my presence rearrange.


evil eyes can watch the rise,

but never enter what’s inside.

some depths are sealed by inner wars,

not meant for wandering eyes or yours.


life lives deep inside my mind;

that’s where i buried weaker times.

that’s where i forged the calm you see —

that’s where evil eyes lose me.


evil eyes must meet demise,

not by blood, not by my hands.

they fade the moment they realize:

i already understand.

back when we were kids

back when we were kids, life was nothing but light, pavement, and laughter. longboards gliding down the trails, basketballs echoing through the evening air, music spilling out of those old ‘90s retro speakers we’d find in our parents’ basements — static, bass, and freedom. no phones glued to our hands, no pressure to post — just company. just presence. the world was wide open, and the only rule was, “come home before it gets dark.” we never cared. we always pushed it — one more ride, one more laugh, one more stretch of freedom before the world called us back. me and manvir — two kids who thought forever was real. we’d cross that broken bridge just to reach the other neighborhood, gripping the guardrails like our lives depended on it, pretending it was life or death — and in a way, it was. ’cause that’s what being a kid felt like: every small thing was everything. we didn’t know what healing was, didn’t need to. life hadn’t scarred us yet. we lived like every day was a movie we didn’t h...

lonely at the top

i know for me to climb to the top, i have to witness my idols get knocked off the mountain first. i’m only 25. my reign hasn’t begun, and i’m already measuring my fall. i remember watching from the fence— older kids running the slides the wrong way, hanging upside down from monkey bars, moving like time was endless. i waited my turn. dreamed of the day i’d finally be let outside. and when it came, the playground was empty. they didn’t lose the game. they just left it. pockets too grown. love diluted into club champagne and women— noise where meaning used to be. every day i grow, i feel this longing— to replicate this with my brothers. but then the days hit. i see them stuck in the same places, running out of patience, out of complacence. it hurts to not see them with me. maybe it wasn’t even them. maybe it’s really me that changed. damn. it wasn’t even them. it’s me that’s changed. i see myself at the pearly gates, every choice tilting the scale— one step closer to the abyss, my fallof...

The Surge and 5 Navels

  there are moments in life where the line between science, myth, and spirit collapses — and you don’t just read about them, you live them. today, i experienced one. i reread my vow, and the world went silent. the air stilled like reality itself paused to listen. then, when the words left my chest, the surge came. it wasn’t a metaphor. it wasn’t motivation. it was electricity. my nervous system lit up like a tesla coil. the buzzing was real — not imagined. my third eye went wild, pulsing with a rhythm i couldn’t explain. for a moment it felt chaotic, like lightning with nowhere to land. then, slowly, the surge settled into resonance. the crackle smoothed into a low hum, a sound like night itself breathing. that was the shift. campbell calls it the world navel — the umbilical cord through which eternity flows into time. tesla would call it resonance — high potential and high frequency aligning until the air itself vibrates. i call it the surge. and in that moment, i ...
