I’m grooving neat to this catchy beat with my achy knees and shaky feet in an empty street as if I’m a sleepy beast who quietly breathes to subtly release the silky screams which are burning dreams while I’m sweating seas coz I’m slitting themes with my edgy ink to slowly reveal the vivid scene but then I quickly freeze coz I missed few things so I replay this reel to closely see that fluid frill that’s crazy real and it makes me bleed the crimson beads that are pouring free onto an empty sheet to fill it with the filleted strip of these threaded lyrics that are stitching skin with a pointy spear to the sacred feel of the holy spirit
Up is the energy Down goes the insanity Brain is a tapestry Tangible is the tragedy Right is the travesty Words don’t write poetry Flow is the rhapsody Demons live till eternity Fire melts the rigidity Ashes reveal the clarity Storm is pure serenity Directness is true modesty Unknown is the reality Universe levitates in duality
I’m sitting silently in the magical dark Looking outside through the spotless glass The sky is sparkling with the burning stars Staring closely at my special past The slow digging of my several scars The scene is deep & kind of vast The slo-mo movie of my own thoughts The daunting effect of those shaky clouds The infinite number of terrifying falls A few were undoubtedly my flawless flaws At some places I was dented & falsed But back then I didn’t use the mental floss So the holes started to constantly form A few shallow & some deeper slots The unbearable pain in my heavy heart Back then I couldn’t see me in my own orbs I was scared to stand for myself, tower tall Low in confidence would make me hold my talk The suppressed energy was my opaque wall
After several years, a unique sensation in my block As if I had found the key to my deadbolt lock My eyes could see through my formless soul The vulnerable moment was so crazy strong Cleansing began instantly through the salty drops My heartbeat weighed less than a single pound Time was holding its breath & simply paused Coz it was the first time I felt who I truly was The sensation can’t be described in any words It’s the new beginning with a roaring sound Finally I understood the meaning of constant falls It’s purely them who paved this unknown path The one that I wholeheartedly crawl & walk The great importance of the past in the now These learnings I carry from dusk till dawn The intuition is guiding me to mindfully evolve I can now see the resemblance of stars & scars Scars are the translucent tattoos I wear with proud Light & dark are innate fabrics of my transparent cloth
You see, trust is not just a simple word Without it, belief loses its true worth Without T, it’s just red-brown corrosive rust
I’ve been blessed with this ability to unearth It’s the moment when I was actually re-birthed I became a bit brain-less and somewhat dirt
Intuition guides me to listen to the unsaid words It’s when energy of communication stops matching the hertz It’s when there’re too many doubts under the surface of hurt
This way trust will never rise like a serene surge This way true love within can not be searched One day the inner & outer vibes need to merge
I know it isn’t easy to rebuild trust if it’s broken more than once But just don’t dwell in the stories that mind replays to reverse Try to connect with the nature of action & reaction of verbs
And if it is still crazy difficult to truly trust Then atleast be honest than to keep throwing the curves Coz what’s inside matters more than the sugarcoated-crust
Trust is the foundation of any solid bond in the Universe Family, friends, partner, pets, nature or work Without trust, there can never be respect, openness or love
👉 This is solely my pov…am not trying to define or prove anything…everyone has their reasons to trust or not to trust…and if it’s difficult to trust a person for any reason, at least be honest & vocal about it…gather the courage to say that as it is…coz that person deserves to know it…it will only be fair to both parties…
This is a different kind of sharing. It’s about my elder son, Noah-Nilay @noahnilaymusic (Instagram profile). I’m incredibly excited and proud to announce that he’s recently released his debut EP. Permanently Unclosed features four guitar compositions, layered with bongo drums and bass, all of which Noah-Nilay composed, played and recorded himself. I’d love for you to give it a listen. It is available on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube.

As parents, we naturally believe our children are talented – and we should, because our love and support are vital to their growth. But in Noah-Nilay’s case, the recognition goes beyond just family pride. His teachers, peers and anyone who has heard his music agree with me. From his music school to every stage he’s performed on, the praise has been consistent. Even in his early years, he won several competitions, including the prestigious Steinway Music Competition, where he was awarded the People’s Choice for his classical piano performance.
Noah-Nilay is a versatile musician, effortlessly playing the piano, violin, cello, flute, drums, bongos and guitar, with guitar being his main instrument of choice. He’s always exploring, always learning. In fact, he’s currently enrolled in MGK (Musikalsk Grundkursus), an intensive 3-year musical education program in Denmark. This program not only prepares students for conservatory entrance exams but also aims to develop musicians who can enrich the local music scene. Only a handful are selected to MGK each year and Noah-Nilay is one of them.
At just 16, Noah-Nilay’s journey as a musician has only just begun, yet his talent is timeless. He was only 6 when he started learning and playing piano at a relatively higher level and it feels like music has been a part of him from the very beginning. To me, he is more than just a talented musician – he is a beautiful soul who was born with music as his companion. I am truly blessed to call him my son.
In truth, I don’t need to write a single word because his music speaks for itself. While I can’t add a track directly here (unavailable in IG’s music library), you can hear a sample in my ‘Sons’ Highlights. I sincerely hope you take a moment to listen to Permanently Unclosed by Noah-Nilay, available on all major music streaming platforms.
It can be painful to suddenly fall But that moment in reality is purely tall You see, one’s true is another’s false The bridge that joins the awful with awe The perspective on evens or odds What matters the most is energy of raw The radiant glow of the innate aura The burning fire of the very core It was sparked by that sudden fall
Dear all,
I’m turning off the comments for a while…there’s too much going on & it’s been challenging for me to stay focused without feeling drained…I don’t want to click, click, scroll, repeat just to stay in the “loop”…when I read a poem, I want to give it my full attention…but lately, I can’t even manage to check a handful of posts a day…I know I’m missing out on a lot, but I need to do this to find my rhythm…and hopefully, regain my balance…I’ll still be here, just in a slightly different way…thank you very much for your understanding and support 💫🖤✨🤍
The alarming trick to tiptoe On the brink of a breakthrough The rugged texture with a slick look The sharp edges of the sick book The delicate pages that I flip through The hammering story seems so dreadful But it’s as pure as the deep truth The raw obsidian from the red flow Naked eyes can’t simply see through It dawned on me when I flicked zoom So I seized the moment with a click tool Coz these spots aren’t just dead zones There is life in them that breathes Om Dark & Light are equally spiritual
Enjoy the Instagram version…I took this beautiful video of the sunset at Bornholm. A serene island of Denmark

A unique composition of tiny matters Tightly packed in a labeled container Dancing spark triggers animated reaction Liftoff in a matter of a crazy short duration Unknown height of uncontrolled levitation Piercing the clouds of smoking dimension Fireworks in the sky with a deafening explosion Observing this scene in super slow motion A swirling pattern is the new revelation Unleashing sacred demon in Universal creation
To me, sacred demon is a zen master of different kind…this kind can be found in the pain-body, illness, suffering, difficult moments, imbalance or anything else of that sort…the whole perspective changes when one comes in contact with it…
Sacred demon is guiding me to…
look deeper…
observe & learn…
walk slower than the slowest if needed…
have a mindful approach…
take one breath at a time & forget about the rest…
appreciate the value of every word & step…
appreciate what I have at present than to focus on what I could have
see the beauty of this life
That’s the purpose of sacred demon in my eyes…but one has to “pay” to see this way…to reach this place…it’s crazy difficult at times but it’s not impossible if one is determined…this is how I see it…if I were seeing it as just a demon, then the whole story would be different…coz then it would simply “eat” me alive in no time…

So here’s a different kind of sharing…it’s related to my younger son, Sofus-Samir…he has been passionate about 2 things…Animals & Fortnite…these days, it’s not so much Fortnite though…the main reason of Balou (the labrador dog) & Zorro (the cat) + some other cats previously joining our family is Sofus…he has always been attached to animals…
Since the past 3 months, he’s been going to Copenhagen Zoo to meet chimpanzees…yeah, chimpanzee family is his passion & love…he’s in the zoo 4-5 times a week…he feels home when he’s over there…one day, he wants to be a chimpanzee care taker…Sofus has been taking videos & photos at the Zoo…we, the parents are doing the same coz we find it interesting as well…the Zoo personnel knows him & the Chimp family recognize him…he communicates with them & observes how they behave…Sofus knows each & every chimp, including their individual personality….we thought why not support his passion & take it to the next level…why not share the pictures & videos with the rest of the world…why not let him grow his passion the way he wants to…why not tell his story…so, we’ve created his own YouTube channel last month…CHIMPANZEE TV—> youtube.com/@chimpanzee-tv
It’s been growing rapidly & we’re happy to see that people from all over the world are taking interest & subscribing to his channel…Just a few days ago, we created Instagram handle as well—> @chimpanzeetv_
If you have a kid in the family, who likes chimps &/or if you like them as well, then please do visit his YouTube Channel…the videos speak for themselves…please support Sofus by subscribing to his channel & whichever other ways you can…please spread the word to your friends & family if possible…it would mean a lot to him & of course, to me & the whole family…every single drop of your effort is highly appreciated 🙏✨❤️💫
The Backstory / Caption
Our younger son, Sous-Samir was diagnosed with Autism in 2019…today he’s 11 year old but when he was younger, he used to have bigger meltdowns…coz we, the parents & the previous preschool and school weren’t able to understand and handle his behaviour…we and the professionals around him didn’t have enough knowledge & guidance back then…later my wife and I found out that he has a PDA profile of autism as we started to observe him more & read about that type…it gave us much better understanding of the kiddo…and why previous autistic pedagogy had failed… luckily today we are in a much better place, but the early years has left its mark on him, making it difficult for him to overcome his fear of demands (PDA), particularly in a school context…
After a year of going to a public school with a small class for autist children and several traumatic experiences of retention, he ended up refusing going to school…and after a year at home, he was offered a special school for autistic children…however, this wasn’t easy for him either, like entering the premises…to be in the class room was close to impossible…the school tried everything they possibly could for more than a year but unfortunately, it didn’t work out well…they didn’t have expertise in PDA…but the municipality still kept forcing us & the school that he must continue…
The tussle with municipality started…several meetings with them, the consultants, psychologists etc…the municipality decided to send the kiddo to another school (chosen by them) with worse setup than the previous school…We did visit the school & talked with the principal & the personnel coz we wanted to give it a chance…even the principal of that school meant, they didn’t have the competence in PDA & it’s not the right choice…but the municipality didn’t care…they were still forcing us…so we lodged a complaint against them around one year back…The Danish Supervisory Board (Ankestyrelsen in danish), who was supposed to take the decision, had forgotten our case & we heard from them after one year…finally the decision came, where they had asked the municipality to reopen the case, check everything properly, take the decision & contact us…But in this back & forth tussle with the municipality, 4 years of Sofus’ potential school life has been lost…He has asked us several times why he simply can’t go to a school just like the other kids…it’s quite a difficult question, you know…he gets sad & angry at times coz the kiddo misses school, especially the school mates part- the companionship…
Last year, we were interviewed by a journalist…a couple of articles were then published in the local newspaper about Sofus…it’s to share Sofus’ story & to share how badly the municipality was handling our & several other cases…perhaps, due to pressure from the management – cost cutting structure…whatever it may be, it has taken away so many years & a lot of energy…and not to forget, this all has given stress…
On 10th June, we were informed that the municipality is still recommending the same school…that school choice was the result, we lodged our first complaint…so nothing new has come out from their side…this is crazy frustrating, disappointing & we’re quite shaken…the kiddo is very sad & angry…he was showing those emotions verbally & as if he were an alpha chimp…the whole 2024 will be gone in this tussle…we’ll be lodging a new complaint…the fight continues…sighs…
However, we strongly believe whatever happens, it happens for a reason…the Universe has its own plan…and while leaning into that trust, we will support his passion for animals as much as we can…and hope you will support him too by subscribing to his YouTube channel and/or following him on Instagram…thank you very much for reading this far and for your love, support & care ✨💜💫
