POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm far from being the best poet, but every poem of mine was written from my heart. They're all precious to me, and I hope that you'll enjoy reading them.
Mirror
Life’s constantly moving
It’s either a small, calm pond or a violent rampaging river
No preparations are enough; all we can do is hang on to the boat
And try not to fall over lest we drown in misery
In the mirror I see failure, but I’ll set myself free.
It’s either a small, calm pond or a violent rampaging river
No preparations are enough; all we can do is hang on to the boat
And try not to fall over lest we drown in misery
In the mirror I see failure, but I’ll set myself free.

#I'llBeThere
I know what it feels like to be abandoned
It fills you with hopelessness and with a feeling of unworthiness
I never want those I care about to feel that way
Whatever you need, #I’llBeThere.
To distract you from your misery or to give you much needed advice
Whether you like it or not, #I’llBeThere.
I can’t stand injustices or betrayals
I swear to you that I’ll never let you down
The hood always got your back
Through the good times and bad, #I’llBeThere.
You don’t have to change yourself to fit my ideals
I like you just the way you are ...

Success
If I were not to be myself, then I would rather not want this success
If I were to unlearn all my values and principles, then what is the use of learning the tactics of success?
If I were to barter the blissful moments with my loved ones for this maddening race, then I would prefer, this success, to not be chased.
If my smile and emotions have to be faked, then I would rather not socialize just for the heck of it.
Yes, it is important even for me to have success.

Before I Leave This World
Before I leave this world, I want to experience life’s pleasures
To feel the warm sand under my naked feet and smell the fresh ocean air
I see double, both the light and the dark, and the beings they consume
Some individuals rush towards the water; others run indoors
Their behavior confuses me, though it can’t be held against them
Warm seems the candle to one who has never felt the sun.

Moonriser
As ancient as the stars there are no others
Yet I’m in tune with another celestial being
My precious Luna shines brightest in the sky
Being bathed in her soft life is a sensation worth experiencing.
I rise with the moon to seek the light
Even though the night is dark, I’m none the wiser
I’m never more at peace than dancing under the midnight sun
For I’m an ever faithful moonriser.
As Earth’s loyal companion, my sweet Luna fills our lives with joy
Whenever danger approached, she’d always put herself in the line of danger

Follow the Moon
Sweet child of Alya you're never alone
Her light guides the way as you’re free to roam
Riding across the lands or sailing the White Ocean
Ayla protects her children with endless devotion.
Her radiance outshines every star
With Ayla guiding the way, you’re bound to go far
She’s a beauty among the heavens
Just the sight of her fills anyone with a pure essence.
From dusk to dawn, you’ll always have your sight
Whether it be from the sun or the midnight light
As a child of Ayla, you’ll always be immune

Cancer
Sweet Cancer child, today we celebrate your birth
I fell in love with you when I held you in my arms for the first time
I knew that there was nothing else I cared about on this Earth
Looking into your wise eyes, I knew that you were destined to shine.

You may be reserved, but deep down you’re a fighter
You’re a kind and loyal person, and you’ll always stay true…
To yourself and to those you love; you make their lives brighter.
You’re one step closer to achieving your dream

Kiss My Ass
I’ve seriously had enough of this bullshit
I’ve been working my ass off while Kathy regularly fucked you
That office slut always rubbed it in my face and dared me to quit
Well she’s getting her wish; I’m absolutely through…!
With this stressful job and shitty pay
And your intolerable attitude towards me
You’ve claimed to have an open mind, but not once did you listen to what I had to say
Spending all day in the office, I’m just desperate to get free.
It’s an open secret that Kathy’s been fucking you
Yet no one’s brave enough to...

Felix the Eagle
Soaring high through the sky of Altera Domi
Free of chains and restrictions of the earth
Occasionally calling home the island of Roli
Felix the Eagle awaits the host of good worth.
Ruby eyes never miss a detail
Powerful wings allow effortless flight
If need be, Felix will disappear without a trail
Always seeking to follow the light.
Wise in words yet deadly with claws
This bird of prey is no simple creature
A proficient hunter, yet also a patient teacher
High above the earth, the eagle follows his own laws.

Hariel the Wolf
Thriving in the mountain range of the three sister countries
Creeping in the night and howling at the moon
A pack of wolves are fiercely hungry
For beauty and adventure as they cry out a tune.
Their pack leader, Hariel, seeks a host
A worthy being whom shall act as ambassador to the humans
Patience and compassion are what matter most
The search is far and wide, even as isolated as the city of Trivertem.
The chosen host shall join Hariel’s pack
Golden eyes that outshine the sun
And a handsome fur coat the color of black

Sophia the Snake
Deep within the jungles of Burcinia
A bed of golden snakes slither through the vegetation
Looking for a host for their mistress, Sophia
A true deadly pest to the island nation.
Their distinctive rattle is the last thing heard
Before Sophia’s children snatch their prey
With a poisoned bite, the snakes move on undisturbed
Eager to commence their monthly feast day.
She bears her offspring during the summer solstice
And lays her eggs within a beating chest
Occasionally the Aura board a sailing ship
And embark on a voyage to the...

Facing Fears
Verse 1
I wander blindly through the endless abyss
Trying hard not to give into my inner fear
My hope is extinguished like the sunlight during an eclipse
The deafening silence is all that I hear.
Chorus
Life’s greatest challenge is facing fears
Yet don’t let it push away those you hold dear
Am I supposed to lie down while I’m being exploited?
Well sir and madam, you’ll be solely disappointed.
Verse 2
Adrenaline warms my veins as I continue on
Eventually I have to reach the end of the tunnel
I’m a faithful creature...
I wander blindly through the endless abyss
Trying hard not to give into my inner fear
My hope is extinguished like the sunlight during an eclipse
The deafening silence is all that I hear.
Chorus
Life’s greatest challenge is facing fears
Yet don’t let it push away those you hold dear
Am I supposed to lie down while I’m being exploited?
Well sir and madam, you’ll be solely disappointed.
Verse 2
Adrenaline warms my veins as I continue on
Eventually I have to reach the end of the tunnel
I’m a faithful creature...
