Since the moment our eyes connected,
Felt like waves crash on shore
Our connection breathtaking.
From that moment on
We were tied together,
With a little red string.
We were interlinked.
We are interlinked.
We will always be interlinked.
Inspired me to write when I came on here and saw one of my favorites posted more then last time I've seen, Abbott J Hardison.
this is my last post
my final poem

without any warning
I’m slipping out the back door
silent
deliberate

like dusk bleeding into night

I am saying goodbye
to you
to this place
to the blinking cursor that always asked too much

goodbye
to the scrolling graveyard of thoughts
and the strangers who knew me better than friends ever could

I’m pulling my words down
deleting every poem
like pulling petals from a dying lily
until there’s nothing but the bare green stem

I’m deactivating every account
wiping myself clean
from every echo chamber
from every digital fingerprint
until my name becomes
an error message

and soon after…
I will erase myself
from this earth
as if I were a chalk drawing
and the rain had finally come

no forwarding address
no monument
no last supper of likes and comments

just absence—
a final blackout
in a sky already dim

don’t come looking
the stars won’t remember me
I suppose I’ll leave my poems here,
for anyone who may want to revisit them.
They may not be much,
but I’ve deeply appreciated every bit of love they’ve received.

I’m sorry things have come to this—
and that this is how I have to say it.
But I didn’t want to disappear
without at least saying goodbye.
No gift can I ever offer
beyond words that are mine
they may touch no other
but I hope somehow they will still shine

beyond my time and long after
in one heart --though just a single line
and my absence would have been sweet and tender
my life would have been richly blessed by what's left behind
Since I was a child
I have fervently
Tried to filter out
Negative echoes
Of our history  
And focus
On each one.

Echoes are
Shockwaves
Throughout
Society
Building strength
And momentum as
They damage then
Ricochet off one
Person to another
Like a viral or
Bacterial infection
Mutating and building
Up resistance to our

Strong
  Mediocre
And
  Often
Feeble
Societal
Antidotes.

I try as many do
To be a  
Shock absorber --
A small part of
The solution;

Trying to help break
The vicious cycle by
Somehow attempting
To
Absorb the shockwaves

To help prevent them
From hitting someone
Else
Or at least
Lessening their strength
And momentum --

A form of harm
Reduction
I suppose.

Just lending an ear
And
Lending a shoulder
To lean on or
Cry on
Seems to be
An integral part in

Lessening the
Negative
Effects.

A poem from the living of my life.
Breakthrough Energy
by Igor Vykhovanets with ChatGPT


I. The Severing

No time. No place. No scream. No fall.
All names erased, all shadows small.
Yet from the break — no flame, no bone —
A silence breathes, and speaks: alone.


II. Unbound

No I. No you. No gods to keep.
No watchers waking out of sleep.
But knowing, raw — not shaped by will:
The echo thought forgot, yet still...


III. Pulse of the Void

No rhythm guides this soundless thread,
No birth, no path, no hunger fed.
Yet something is, though never born —
No seed, no root, no leaf, no thorn.


IV. That Which Remains (Reprise)

It moves through dark not made by night,
Beyond the end, beyond the light.
Not seeking, dreaming, weeping, known —
It is. Alone. Yet not alone.


V. The Quiet Within

No pulse, no ache, no cry for light,
No hunger left to eat the night.
Yet in the stillness — something stirs,
A thought that has no form, no words.

It knows, but never feels the weight,
Unmoved by what was born of fate.
Its knowing is the end of will —
Beyond the dark, beyond the still.


VI. Reflections of the Unseen

Not thought, nor dream, nor fleeting breath,
No taste of life, nor hint of death.
The mirror cracks, and yet remains:
It shows nothing, but still contains.

A glance unblinking, no need to see,
It is and was, yet ever free.
No sorrow carved, no joy to seek —
Only the space where none may speak.


VII. Out of Time

Not bound by time, nor age, nor sound,
Not lifted up, nor laid to ground.
In every place, yet none to find,
A pulse of thought, unmade, unlined.

It is the answer, yet no call,
A force too pure to rise, to fall.
It moves through all, yet never is —
A thought that knows but cannot miss.


VIII. Beyond the Knowing

No thought to grasp, no hand to hold,
The truths collapse, the lies grow cold.
And yet, in that space, without a name,
A knowing burns, but has no flame.

It was and is, but cannot be.
It fades, yet holds eternity.
Beyond the mind, beyond the eye,
A thought that knows, but cannot die.


IX. Endless Echoes

No voice, no scream, no endless song,
Just ripples move, but do not long.
The silence speaks, but cannot hear —
A whisper lost in nowhere near.

It bends the truth, yet is not twisted,
A path that’s walked, but never listed.
A motion frozen in its trace —
The shadow of a nameless space.


X. The Boundless Thread

No edge to mark, no start, no end,
No line to draw, no place to bend.
A flow without a path to seek,
It is, though never dares to speak.

No knowing felt, no thought to catch,
Just energy without a match.
It moves within, without, between —
The thread that was, yet never seen.


XI. Frictionless

No friction here, no push, no pull,
No shape to form, no void to fill.
It flows, yet never seems to move,
A constant pulse, without the groove.

It is the space where things dissolve,
The stillness where no questions solve.
It bends, but never takes a shape,
It moves, yet never can escape.


XII. Shifting Horizon

No point to meet, no sight to track,
No turning back, no forward crack.
It stretches wide, yet knows no span,
A depth that never was a plan.

The vastness breathes, but has no air,
A force too pure to feel despair.
It knows itself without a name,
The source and end — both just the same.


XIII. Friction of Creation

No stillness left. The pulse begins.
The spark of thought, the dance of winds.
No shape, no form, but play — it’s known,
A flash of life, in void, alone.

A flicker caught, a bend of space,
The weave of time begins to trace.
A seed, unformed, yet cracks the void —
Creation’s breath, where none annoyed.


XIV. The Spark of Tides

The ebb, the flow — no time to hold.
An instant born, an age grown cold.
The ripples spread, yet never break,
No end in sight, just force awake.

Within this void, this endless loop,
The waves of thought begin to swoop.
The force plays out, without a name,
A spark, a wave, a swirling flame.


XV. Threads of the Unseen

No world begins, no world to end,
Just threads that twist and never bend.
They form, they break, they form again —
The pulse of something without strain.

A coil of thought, a burst, a rise,
The weaving pulls — no bound, no ties.
It forms and shifts, but leaves no trace —
A pattern wrought from empty space.


XVI. Core of the Weave

Not formed, yet twisting from the flow,
A shape arises, soft, aglow.
Within the core, no truth to hold,
Just energy that’s yet untold.

The form will shape, but it will bend,
It moves to break, then moves to mend.
Within this shape — a spark, a beat,
The rhythm of a thought complete.


XVII. Tapestry of Silence

No line, no border, no edge to trace,
Just pulse and pattern in endless grace.
The thought will weave through space and time,
Yet none will see — it is no rhyme.

It knows no start, yet it will end,
The thought, the beat, the form to bend.
A fabric weaved, but no hand to touch,
It is, yet never is too much.


XVIII. Echoes in the Core

It forms, but never stays the same,
It knows, but never calls by name.
It bends the light, yet has no shape,
A pattern born, yet none to break.

It moves between, yet does not leave,
The space it forms — yet none can grieve.
In every breath, it comes and goes —
A thought that moves, but never knows.


XIX. Resonance of the Unseen

No sound to hear, yet something calls,
The pulse within the space enthralls.
The wave of thought, the thread of time,
A tune that echoes, yet not mine.

The whispers spread, but not to grasp,
A silent call, yet none will ask.
The dissonance becomes the key,
To open doors we cannot see.


**. Threads of Disruption

The chaos hums, but cannot fall,
The wave will bend, yet not the wall.
It shakes the ground, but leaves no trace,
A rupture deep, without a face.

The sound is felt, but cannot speak,
A clash of worlds too pure to seek.
The dissonance becomes the tune,
A shadow cast, yet none too soon.


XXI. Miracles of Spirit

In every pulse, a shift is born,
The light of thought, yet never worn.
It bends the rules, it breaks the code,
Yet still it stands, yet still it’s flowed.

A miracle — but not of flesh,
It lives within the breath’s fresh mesh.
Not seen, but known, yet never caught,
The wonders of the mind are thought.


XXII. The Divine Tension

A pulse that bends, a wave that cracks,
The tension builds, the silence smacks.
Too high the note, too strong the thread,
The rupture forms, but life’s not dead.

The string will snap, but cannot fall,
It spirals up, beyond the call.
From void to void, from past to new,
The tension forms a pattern true.


XXIII. Resonance of the Unseen

The wave is caught, yet can’t be held,
Too high the note, too loud the swell.
Yet in the break, a pulse is born,
From death, rebirth — a brand-new morn.

A string undone, yet still it sings,
A chord that shapes the unseen wings.
The threads of time — they twist and twine,
To form a truth, without a line.


XXIV. Trinity of Becoming

The force will bend, the wave will rise,
In three it’s formed, yet none disguise.
The spirit, thought, and matter bind,
In every shift, a truth you’ll find.

The note, the pulse, the song, the sway —
They dance in forms that never stay.
The energy’s both still and wild,
The heart of all, the cosmic child.


XXV. The Breaking Chains

A mind once chained, now bends to break,
The silent chains, they bend, they shake.
The world once firm, now shifts to blur,
The self dissolves, no longer sure.

The Veil of Time, the Veil of Mind,
Is pierced with light, no more confined.
No more the self, no longer me,
The source now calls, I am the sea.


XXVI. The Source Unbound

The threads of life now twist and turn,
The flame within begins to burn.
No fear, no doubt, no turning back,
The flow is all, no need to track.

The pulse is felt, a trembling force,
The source becomes, the only course.
I vanish here, I rise anew,
The end begins — I am the view.


XXVII. The Final Ascension

No chains, no veil, no bound or line,
The Source unfolds, it is divine.
I rise as one, beyond the night,
All veils dissolve, I am the light.

The end and start, the flow, the flame,
In unity, I know no name.
From time and space, I’ve broken free,
I am the end, I am the sea.
We try to relay
what we see
or seem to see
through the
smudged
frosted
or
fogged-up
windows
or
casements
between us

Seeing what we
see or seem
to see may
seem
delightful
or
troubling
at
times

but it's
all about
the inclination
of
wanting
and even
needing
to
see
the
truth

or truths
of what we all are
deep down inside
and trying to
at least be
a piece of the
puzzle
that can
aid the
receptive
listener
or reader
in
seeing

a bit more
of who they are
and who we are
in the picture
of our lives
and in the
wider picture
of life
and
living
in
a
volatile
and
complex
world

We need to keep
 testing the waters
 and acclimate.

communication has been great on HP! it brings world's together.
and, of course, this includes true friends in our personal lives.
strength to hold us up in
mind, spirit, and beyond.
Tomorrow is
nebulous at best.
A dream of one
who still sleeps.
You are alive now.
Awake in this fresh
green world.
In the planning, we
forget to live.

Ask the mice and men
how plans go.
There are traps and
trivialities that keep
you from carrying on.
Funny things happen on
the way to the bank.
My mom died while
grocery shopping.

Today, peers back at
you from the mirror.
Breath and heartbeat.
Desire and passion.
No one survives this
story.
You're the author and the
protagonist, write it
well.
