8 AM POEM POST CLUB NIGHT

In a constant search for an unreachable enigma
You can’t come too close to the sun.
Sometimes I feel as though I’m about to catch it
But it fades away in infinite seconds
If I were to grasp it, I’d lock it in a cage like the
hummingbird of Hafez
But the waves seem to drag it away, with their
silent melodies at the shore
Once I feel it beat within me, it pumps my vessels
A state I’ve never felt before
May it not fade
I hope it doesn’t fade
But it does
It always fades
I want to drive away
And cross realities at the traffic lights
Turn into a hummingbird at a sanatorium
But I must stay
Although I feel chained
In a distortion of the Leviathan
I live life like a blur
It’s a sedative
Incessantly trying to reach the moon
But the earth rotates the other way round
When I do feel like in space
I come to learn that I’m simply walking on ash
The moon does not exist.

by DilaraA

Dilara Akhudnova was born on December 23, 2003, during the year of the Water Goat, under the constellation of Capricorn. Consequently, she exhibits a pronounced trait of determination and diligence in her pursuit of beauty. She endeavors to articulate her aspirations through prose, encapsulated by the following sentiment: “It is important to live free of unnecessary concerns, and find who we truly are at soul. Fall in love with life on an unfathomably profound level, open your eyelids at dawn with a euphoric feeling in your chest making your heart dance to the rhythm of its beat, sing at the top of your lungs, read literature, make music, draft poems in hope of one day making that your life. Nothing on this earth limits us from living life like starring in a fabulous movie, and I am designated to make my life a memorable piece of art.”

Despite the inherently optimistic nature of her soul, Dilara's poetry is characterized by a melancholic genre, often employing numerous allegories.

Dilara’s writing style is deeply emotional, emphatic, sophisticated, and complex; in places it is flowery, but at other times it can be abrupt and concise. However, whatever poetic means she chooses to explore the poetry she has created is poignantly beautiful, vivid, heart-breaking, and utterly mesmerizing. The melancholic tones and emotional outpour in her poems leave the reader with a strong feeling of nostalgia. It leaves the reader wanting more, longing for more of Dilara’s poetry.
Dilara paints with words. Her poetry is a piece of art, a painting drawn with words on a canvas of love, hope, and palpable emotions.
