Witnesses of a No-God
Depressevangelicals,
a curious subculture
that has emerged
over the last few decades,
represent an intriguing phenomenon
in the religious and social scene.
With depressive tendencies,
these individuals find
in the evangelical hosts a refuge
for their anxieties and frustrations,
at the same time that they seek
to impose their opinions and concepts,
often devoid of logic and coherence.
Literarily, they can be compared
to tragic characters,
whose lives are marked by an incessant
search for...

Presumed hunger
Premeditated situations
and pre-cooked annihilations.
Preheated eliminations,
precepts, losses, predators,
nothing changes the colors of poverty.
Chameleons are the rich ones
and they change, change color
and change again to a color they don't have.
The rich eat poverty for breakfast
so let's change directions,
change emotions,
and let's eat the rich
even though the rich are poor
in nutrients and proteins.
Since they have many colors,
we will eat them with our eyes
and season them...
and pre-cooked annihilations.
Preheated eliminations,
precepts, losses, predators,

and change again to a color they don't have.

and let's eat the rich
even though the rich are poor

Where are we going?
Softened lines converge
in the haze, your lips meet mine,
blurred, yet crystal clear.
Whispers merge with light,
colors fade but hearts align
timeless in the kiss.
Within oblivion
a kiss blooms, defying void,
timeless whispers rise.
Stars dissolve to dust
yet your touch ignites the dark,
void bends, love remains.
Through the endless night
oblivion guards our spark
bound within the void.
Through the veiled embrace
world dissolves to just us...
Softened lines converge
in the haze, your lips meet mine,
blurred, yet crystal clear.
Whispers merge with light,
colors fade but hearts align
timeless in the kiss.
Within oblivion
a kiss blooms, defying void,

Stars dissolve to dust
yet your touch ignites the dark,
void bends, love remains.
Through the endless night
oblivion guards our spark
bound within the void.
Through the veiled embrace
world dissolves to just us...

Heaven paved with my pains
.. this shitty life is nothing
but a waiting room
of a hellish asylum
overflowing with paperwork
and suffocated in its own
degenerate bureaucracy
this shitty life is nothing
but a scare in a dead-end alley
from the darkest part of a place
where no one wants to go
life, life, life
knife, knife, knife
the sound of traveling knife sharpeners
is like the creaking of hinges
of a nonexistent paradise
where an arrogant and irrational being rules...

Bugging
Blah blah blah we say
Words float gently in the breeze
Thoughts just drift away.
Empty phrases fly
Through the quiet afternoon
Time slips slowly by.
In the stillness here
Meaning hides within the blur
Silence speaks so clear.
Words float gently in the breeze
Thoughts just drift away.
Empty phrases fly
Through the quiet afternoon
Time slips slowly by.
In the stillness here

Silence speaks so clear.

Triumvirat - Spartacus
At fifteen, the music whirled in a time machine,
where Spartacus calls with symphonic gleam.
Keys cascade like ancient rivers’ stream,
echoing rebellion in a wild and fierce dream.
Synth notes rise like morning's first light.
With drums' thunderous roar Rome takes flight.
Heartbeats sync with the rhythm's might.
An empire's fall in the silent night.
Emotions surge in the flickering gleam
as history dances revealing its steam.
In the attic headphones tether the soul
each track pulls deeper making hearts whole.
Warrior’s cries...
where Spartacus calls with symphonic gleam.
Keys cascade like ancient rivers’ stream,
echoing rebellion in a wild and fierce dream.
Synth notes rise like morning's first light.
With drums' thunderous roar Rome takes flight.
Heartbeats sync with the rhythm's might.
An empire's fall in the silent night.
Emotions surge in the flickering gleam
as history dances revealing its steam.
In the attic headphones tether the soul
each track pulls deeper making hearts whole.
Warrior’s cries...

Merry Nowhere Lazy Susan
Nowhere's a quiet place
for platypus glide by the stream
for influenza never fades.
Pasta twirling in bowls
and laughter fills the silent air.
Nowhere's charm is revealed.
Nowhere's the best place on the earth.
Hidden gems of stillness found
for nowhere calls to me.
Twirl, baby, all your curls
like a twister with no direction.
Sniffing someone's cracks in the air.
Nowhere's a quiet place.
Cockroaches scuttle through the maze.
Labyrinth of tambourine's sound in the far.
for platypus glide by the stream
for influenza never fades.
Pasta twirling in bowls
and laughter fills the silent air.
Nowhere's charm is revealed.
Nowhere's the best place on the earth.
Hidden gems of stillness found
for nowhere calls to me.
Twirl, baby, all your curls
like a twister with no direction.
Sniffing someone's cracks in the air.
Nowhere's a quiet place.
Cockroaches scuttle through the maze.
Labyrinth of tambourine's sound in the far.

In the land of freedom
you're free to live or,
even better, leave or let
yourself be sent away.
Better not let yourself be bold.
Better not let yourself be cold.
Better not let yourself be in the fold.
Believe in yourself in being gold.
Better not let yourself be in hold.
Better not let yourself set in as mold.
Better not let yourself be sold.
Don't...
Believe what you've always been told.
In the land of freedom
you're just an alien that will
never reach the point of...

Earth Heart
Beneath the world's great surface
far from the sky's embrace.
Two hearts embark on journey's path
in Earth's secret place.
Hand in hand, they venture deep,
where shadows softly fall.
Through subterranean labyrinths,
they boldly forge ahead.
With every turn a new delight by curiosity led.
A voyage to the center of the earth (or heart)
marks a tale both rare and fine.
Rising to the daylight,
hearts enriched and bright.
Memories of their journey spark
like a lantern in the night.
In Earth's deep...
far from the sky's embrace.
Two hearts embark on journey's path
in Earth's secret place.
Hand in hand, they venture deep,
where shadows softly fall.
Through subterranean labyrinths,
they boldly forge ahead.
With every turn a new delight by curiosity led.
A voyage to the center of the earth (or heart)
marks a tale both rare and fine.
Rising to the daylight,
hearts enriched and bright.
Memories of their journey spark
like a lantern in the night.
In Earth's deep...

So many falling stars
In the corridors of thought
where shadows white is sublime
wheels of memory spin
in circles they turn
whispers of forgotten dreams
linger in the air.
Faces in the mirror
reflections of the past
moments fleeting by
too precious to outlast
colors of emotion
in a kaleidoscope's embrace.
Echoes of a heartbeat
in the silence of the night
thoughts like scattered leaves
take their secret flight
twirling like a dance
on the edge of the unknown.
Threads of golden memories
woven...
where shadows white is sublime
wheels of memory spin
in circles they turn
whispers of forgotten dreams
linger in the air.
Faces in the mirror
reflections of the past
moments fleeting by
too precious to outlast
colors of emotion
in a kaleidoscope's embrace.
Echoes of a heartbeat
in the silence of the night
thoughts like scattered leaves
take their secret flight
twirling like a dance
on the edge of the unknown.
Threads of golden memories
woven...

Bird Nesting Poetry
In the heart of dawn, poets awaken.
Like mother birds in nests forsaken.
Words like worms tenderly taken
to feed their young, love unshaken.
Quills dipped in dew, they glide and soar
over landscapes of dreams, forevermore.
Each verse a morsel as hearts implore,
Nurturing souls by stories they store.
Under the vast canopy of sky...
Poets sing lullabies, every nigh,
to fledgling thoughts, dreams amplify.
Wings of words lift high.
With beaks of ink they gently share
wisdom and warmth beyond compare. ...
