Philosophy Poems Novels & Stories

“But I have seniority. That makes my mistakes forgivable.” He collapsed onto the floor beside me, panting through his laughter. “You’re just old.” “Old enough to know better,” I countered. “Old enough to know that poems aren’t just words, they’re maps. They take you to who you’re supposed to be.” Liam was quiet for a moment. Then, in a smaller voice, “And who am I supposed to be?” “Someone who remembers,” I said. “Someone who keeps the good parts alive.”

He did not flinch. “No,” he said quietly. “This is the consequence of pretending obedience was ever the same thing as stability.” Varenth laughed once, sharp and hollow. “Spare us philosophy.” “Philosophy,” Ilyon replied, “is what remains when force stops working.” That stilled the chamber. For a breath. For two. Even the constellation ceiling seemed to dim slightly, the carved stars drifting by fractions of alignment that made the world feel subtly off-center. Varenth lifted his staff again.

She asks, lost in his eyes, lost in the soft sensation of his touch. "I'm scared of an ending Even a happy one. I never finish a sentence Cause I fear you will not be there to answer. I never end a thought Cause I fear you will not be in the next one. I never feared death Cuse I thought I am imortal. But you, my love Are poison for the Gods." He whispers the poem in her ear like the rest of the world is not supposed to hear the words, like the wind is not supposed to carry them anywhere else. They are just for her.

He had a library there as he selected one of the philosophy books which he was reading the other day and continued. It was odd because people around him say its weird a mafia don, reading philosophy, history and poetry books. He just scoffed at those thoughts and continued reading, according to him books make one wiser. Life is both sad and solemn. We are led into a wonderful world, we meet one another here, greet each other - and wander together for a brief moment. Then we lose each other and disappear as suddenly and unreasonably as we arrived. As soon as he went through those lines, he felt it, deep within his beating organ. These lines just defined his life. That sudden lost was not lett

'Really, I think there are people who want to reach immortality, or have it accepted. 'Well, all those shouldn't be your reasons. The companion has come closer, expressing your-self. The only reason you should write is because you need to. You know what Bukowski said, 'Don't do it.' The poem or story has to be for you without caring what anyone says.' I began to see nodding faces, including those of my two unexpected visitors, who were perhaps surprised at my approach. 'Okay, what topics is the poetry about?' A brainstorming followed, where some of the most typical ones emerged: human nature, love, death, the passage of time, suffering. In some cases it was pointed out that any element of th

It was a dream Dreams which are Fantasies. And fantasies which aren't true, They all lie in ashes, When morning comes in view!' Both the boys stood open-mouthed as if they were hearing the voice of Aphrodite with their own ears. Those four lines are so deep in philosophy, that it took some time to consume the essence of them. At last, Argus clapped his hands and it broke Fabian’s trance. ‘Beautiful! Heavenly! you are a wonderful scribe. I am so proud of you!’, Fabian broke into a plethora of praises for her.

Above us, the gray lattice fades once more. Not retreating. Just recording. The war isn’t explosions. It’s philosophy under observation. And somewhere beyond our sky— Something is calculating whether humanity optimizes itself into silence— Or endures the noise long enough to matter.

Definitely not convent-educated like her file claimed. 'Small talk's tedious.' 'What do you find stimulating then?' 'Literature. Philosophy. Ideas that actually matter beyond who's sleeping with whom at Government House.' She smiled. Not the painted-on grimace everyone else wore. Something genuine. 'You might find my Tuesday evening discussions interesting. We explore poetry, philosophy. The sorts of questions that keep thinking people awake.' 'What kind of poetry?' 'Tagore, naturally. Ghalib. Sometimes more contemporary work.' There it was. Contemporary work meant seditious pamphlets dressed up as literature. My cover as sympathetic intellectual was working.

The silence between notes was no longer one of erasure, but one of profound, logical bafflement. The work was not over. The Editor was still there. The void it had created was still there. The threat was contained, not vanquished. But for now, the music played on. The brave, chaotic, messy, and beautiful song of existence continued, its melody protected by a single, small, illogical, and very warm piece of fuzz. The gardeners had become stewards. And now, the stewards had become philosophers, defending the universe not with force, but with a riddle. The most important question of all: Why must everything have a reason?

The Editors' algorithms flagged it as a repetitive glitch, but could not delete the profound, unsettling beauty of its imperfection. On another world, a philosopher, whose life's work was a logically airtight proof for universal contentment, abruptly published a single, nonsensical haiku about the loneliness of prime numbers. It spread through the population like a virus, not of disease, but of quiet, generative doubt.
