Angels Wings on the shingle beach
Were these the wings of an Angel?
Or were they the pinions of a carcass pecked bare?
Or were they the pinions of a carcass pecked bare?

Mystic dreams
Angel tears
Fall through the years
Of everlasting sorrow
Serpents tongue
Lashing the young
Blessings no longer borrowed
Exiled truth
Hidden from youth
Frozen lies in clouds amber
Mystic dreams
Piercing the seams
From stolen childrens slumber
Fall through the years
Of everlasting sorrow
Serpents tongue
Lashing the young
Blessings no longer borrowed
Exiled truth
Hidden from youth
Frozen lies in clouds amber
Mystic dreams
Piercing the seams
From stolen childrens slumber

the tasmanian tiger
The Tasmanian tiger
The last one died in captivity in 1936
and that was a sad moment for humanity,
added to the list of animals we have eliminated over the years.
The Tasmanian tiger was easy to kill. It didn´t know
how cruel we are.
There have been sightings of it by gullible people, but it is an illusion
based on regrets and unspoken longings.
I, also hope, it exists somewhere, but it is a dream,
yet I have seen the animal in clouds formation in the sky
forever condemning us for what we did.

Cydonia (2021)
Cydonia,
so long ago
we left for Earth
we did not know
humanity
had then become
already chosen
by someone
from a place
a star away -
we knew from this
we could not stay
so off to Venus
flying high
building cities
in the sky...
Cydonia
time to return
as human robots
try to learn
what kind of life
lives underground,
where life exists
wherever found...
Cydonia,
an ancient land
only Martians
understand
only...

Untitled Story (Part II)
As they continued walking, a box shaped object with a screen had become noticeable in front of them. It was as if somebody had intentionally put it there. As they came close to it and all of a sudden, the screen had come on and a face had appeared. It was of an old man, he had wrinkles and short white hair.
“Come close, don’t be afraid.” He said in an authoritative manner.

Illumination
Open your eyes
To the coming of an age
Spill your bones across the dawn
Heavenly spaced
Spread your wings
It's time to fly
Glide and dive lost in time
Mercurial divine
Sparkling stars
Luminous dark
Finely shine your burning light
Illustrious vapors
Soaking in my mind
To the coming of an age
Spill your bones across the dawn
Heavenly spaced
Spread your wings
It's time to fly
Glide and dive lost in time
Mercurial divine
Sparkling stars
Luminous dark
Finely shine your burning light
Illustrious vapors
Soaking in my mind

Sweet Mama
Mama was now doing the limbo at the carnival show, in "Heaven's Rest", Nursing Home. Heaven's Rest also fronted for a mortuary and automatic carwash. Mama was a dwarf with a goiter and broken veins. Mama lived in dreams of Mona Lisa and tooth fairies. She hung from strings as if dark's marionette. Wrapped in her favorite Chinchilla.
I was her kemosabe and she was my loops. I in my best, Liberace attire straight out of pixie. Wearing my Maidenform and nightshade. Stepping on escargot shells as they slithered in ooze. I had just made summa cum laude at the freak show. Thinking summa...

Floating Wonders
Have you ever heard such wonder?
A quartet of elephants atop a roving turtle
The name of which is A-
Ahh...I forget

Untitled Story (Part I)
A ruthless eagle was piercing the vast blue sky which had no uniquely shaped cloud. Down on the ground and in a distance, Xavier and Yves were slowly walking. Xavier looked a little tired whereas Yves seemed more ruthless and determined than the eagle.
Nothing was in the horizon. On the side of the road there was cactus trees which bared green and not yet ripe prickly pears. Temperature was high.
“Stay strong, Xavier, I have a strong feeling that soon enough, we are going to reach our destination.” Said Yves with an optimistic tone and gave Xavier a pat on the back.

The life You stole~
Master Weaver of Lies
There are times I wonder about how you just moved on…you made it look simple.
Drop the axe on the cord and severe it with no looking back. So absorbed in yourself indulgent and very self-inflicted pain that you never looked at the devastation that you brought into my world. How did I deserve that?
You presented yourself as a victim of love and broken promises, and yet it was just a blueprint of lies used to lure in the sad and vulnerable.
Laughter echo's inside my mind at times. The first phone call, with you talking like Pee Wee...

The Suffering Of Prometheus
Fire, begotten and adored
A gift of giants better suited as gods
Alas, a few denied and abhorred
Against the will of better deities and bitter odds
Welcome forth the guiding light
Culture and society birthed from the flame
The truth buried and hidden out of plain sight
Though those sordid few still anguished by his name
Of wings and claws, bondage and hate
This bird of prey offers onto him his plight
Succumbed by his betrayal he suffers this fate
The propagation of kindoms on mountains of might
A gift of giants better suited as gods
Alas, a few denied and abhorred
Against the will of better deities and bitter odds
Welcome forth the guiding light
Culture and society birthed from the flame
The truth buried and hidden out of plain sight
Though those sordid few still anguished by his name
Of wings and claws, bondage and hate
This bird of prey offers onto him his plight
Succumbed by his betrayal he suffers this fate
The propagation of kindoms on mountains of might
