  In mirrors I see, A silence so deep, yet I hear The rippling of the surface In mirrors I hear,  Colours of bright, a rainbow of light, Yet RED: or white? In the loneliness of my head, And the quiet of my soul, I'm a walking contradiction,  A fiction within reality, but am I? On days I feel the most undeserving, To the walls I pray, A "strawberry lipstick state of mind" As I dip my soul in chocolate hues And harness it in gold. The solitude I gift myself, The Art Of Control, I see, I hear, And in mirrors I seek. 

 TO THE POET, DEATH IS BUT THE MOST EXCITING ADVENTURE.  Where the wild things grow and birdies call, The smell of Spring; wafting though the town, Pudgy footfalls across the hallway, Pitterpattering on unsteady feet- she's walking. The gentle sound of steps on stone, She just turned twelve, the Little Dove, She knows of life but not of death, A pirate of the seas? Or the heir to the throne? Sweet sixteen she is, the graceful little miss, Be a lady, they said.  The steady heartbeat as she runs up and down the track of sand Athletic she is, nineteen going on twenty. A marathon of a hundred, the end is at hand. "Dear, dear girl, sunshine she was" They say looking down on the gone woman's corpse Oh so young, yet so old No footprints on snow, for she has risen  Above all kin, A heart of gold. HER FOOTSTEPS WILL FOLLOW THROUGH SPRING AND WINTER, THROUGH THE GRASS AND SNOW, UNTIL SHE IS PRESENT- REBORN. ~Chenu 💓

  Today’s blog post is not for our dreamers, but more for our masterminds. In short, this is a crime case. A death that happened in 1982. On sight, an unfortunately successful suicide attempt, but is it? This is the case of Roberto Calvi, an Italian banker who was dubbed as ‘God’s banker’ by the people. He was the chairman of Banco Ambrosiano of Italy and shortly before his death, had had gone into major debt of 1.4 billion USD that caused him to go bankrupt. On June 17 th 1982, Calvi’s body was found suspended off the Blackfriars bridge. He had travelled to the UK with a fake passport a few days prior to his death. The first inquest of his death suggested a suicide, but Calvi’s family were adamant that the court was incorrect, and thus started a second inquest. After a deep forensics and pathology research, the hired team had some questions that seemingly did not have any answers. Pathology research revealed that there was no sign of drug usage or struggle at first glance. ...

  Growing up, my favorite Disney princess was Cinderella. As a child, her shimmering blue dress caught my eye. I wanted to go for a ride on fairy godmother’s carriage. I wanted to watch her dance with the prince all night- As an adult, my idea of Cinder-Ella has changed. More questions have popped up. I’m questioning the ‘magic’ I grew up watching on screen. This is my rendition of the aftermath of the royal ball, my ideas and opinions and unrealistic Barbie magic that I no longer believe, but look back on fondly. As the clock struck midnight, Ella transformed back into her true self. She managed to escape Prince Charming, successfully hiding the fact that she was not a princess of the land, but the servant girl of her evil stepmother. Which brings us to our question. The fairy godmother’s spell was such that all of Cinderella’s magic belongings would turn into her own by the strike of midnight, and true to the spell, her clothes were once again turned into rags, her animals ...

CONTROVERSY [NOUN] pronounced /kon.tra.ver.si/  DICTIONARY DEFINTION: PROLONGED PUBLIC DISAGREEMENT OR HEATED DISCUSSION. Ahem. I hope all my lovely readers are having a wonderful day as amazing and brilliant as you are! Like the quote goes, "Say what you mean, but don't say it mean" Debating about controversial topics, having 'prolonged public disagreements' and 'heated discussions'  is a very fun pastime and can lead to a solid exchange of ideas and help to see the problem from different perspectives than to yours, unless you have serious anger issues 😂😂 Today's little post of MIKROKOSMOS features a couple of fun controversial ideas and topics of the modern world and personal opinions of the author. As always, constructive criticism is welcome in the comments! (Ya'll be nice to each other though *warning sign*) 1.

  I hope you wake up with a big smile on your face, like mine, whenever I think of you.   I hope your morning shower reminds you of dancing in warm summer rain .   I hope the smell of your first coffee makes you close your eyes for a moment, and inhale deeply.   I hope you look into the mirror and see just how wonderful you are.   I hope you give yourself many, many hugs, before leaving home, n ot because you have already achieved something big today, but simply because you love yourself as much as I love you.   I hope you choose the outfit that makes you feel most comfortable and gorgeous, rather than the one you think would be the most suitable.   I hope the sun warms your precious face, as you walk to work .    I hope you feel fulfilled by the work you're doing every day.    I hope your lunch tastes as good as all the food you cook for your family.   I hope you take little breaks thr...

  You know what they say about 2am, it’s both the Devil’s hour and the Angel’s hour, and it makes sense that it is. 2am is when the insecurities come stumbling down on you, where you have no where to hide, unless you distract yourself on Instagram and chill with Netflix. “We’re sleeping on our problems like we solve them in our dreams; We wake up early morning and they’re still under the sheets” (Louis Tomlinson circa 2020) It’s when you think of everything and nothing all at once, where you wonder what you are doing with your life, where you mourn for your ex, where you wish your pillow was a little bit warmer and where you wish you had a midnight snack because all this unnecessary thinking had made you hungry. It’s when you realize the maybe, just maybe, it would be easier to let go and cry into your pillow, or blast on your favorite music on speakers and hope your family won’t wake up. It’s when you tell the stars what you miss the most in life, and where you make new drea...
