Arus' Poetry

The alchemy of turning my feelings into poems…

Wednesday Night Interludes

prologue:

Yes, like that Drake song!!

I just be yearning……..

These poems are love letters
and confessions.
They’re messy, sexual, a little lonely
but they’re mine.

I wrote them to try to answer:
How can you feel everything and nothing at the same time?

Somewhere between the high and the crash
the past, present, and future
collide in June, Gloom.

For Myself, A Journal Of Comfort For A Narcissist

prologue:

This composition of poems is an attempted examination of the continuous episodes experienced in my manic depression.

The mania high is expressed in this framework through elements of braggadiciousness, narcissism, and hyper-sexuality.

The depression is expressed by elements of exaggerated sadness and negative thoughts.

The main goal of this collection of poems is to paint a picture of my personal struggle with depression, euphoric highs, and how they interact cohesively in my mind. This war is the embodiment of my bipolar disorder.

For You, A Journal Of Comfort For My Once Lover

prologue:

I wrote these poems in a period where I got lost and drained, running on empty. During this time, I wanted to better understand the concept of your love. I found out that Love, is an experience capable of transforming an individual completely. Think about it: the world evolves through the power of love.

I call attention to the fact that these poems belong to you. It was you who made me carefully construct them. Every word, period, question, and feeling is all of you. In some ways, it’s like you were the master, and I was only the puppet. You speak through me. So, this you,

For you.
