Our only reality— words
their beauty the lovechild of minds alike. Now a new world is dawning. The mast that dared touch the sun
is broken and the yellow boat is leaking. Words of hate, an avalanche of red
and I hear the echo tell me 'You were never more than just a stranger’.
Our final reality.
The sea swallows all. No trace.
All of the words are gone.
Soft, tender, angry, red and blue; all at the bottom of the raging green sea.
Silence rules our world again
and in this world the harshest words have no shape and have no sound.

Exploring the Depths of Toxic Love
Toxic love, an intricate tapestry woven with emotions, takes centre stage in the poem "Words." This contemplative piece presents a vivid portrayal of the impact of corrosive relationships on the human experience, offering a nuanced exploration of alienation and loneliness. With its imagery and evocative language, the poem serves as a powerful lens, scrutinizing and encapsulating the intricacies of such affairs.
The verses unfold, establishing words as the exclusive reality—a poetic journey into shared thoughts. The mast touching the sun, broken, and the leaking yellow boat symbolize vulnerability in the face of toxic relationships. Words of hate cascade like an avalanche of red, leaving the narrator estranged and encapsulated in the echo's declaration, “You were never more than just a stranger.”
As the narrative progresses, it navigates towards a final reality—the sea swallowing all, erasing traces of soft, tender, angry, red, and blue words. The raging green sea becomes the burial ground for emotions, reflecting the depth of the impact of toxic love. Silence reigns again, where even the harshest words lose their shape and sound.
This contemplative exploration illustrates the fragility of communication and its consequences, subtly alluding to the power dynamics of language. The poem presents a paradigm shift, marking ambition's vulnerability to destructive language. The colours associated with emotions now lie at the bottom of the sea, evoking a poignant sense of loss and submersion. The concluding lines bring forth a paradoxical silence, emphasizing the transient nature of toxic relationships.
