POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am the alchemist of words, a poet and writer who wields language to conjure emotions and visions. My verses are the keys to unlocking hidden realms of the soul, and my narratives are bridges to alternate dimensions of thought.

Whispers of Eternity
In the quiet hours of the night, I ponder,
The fear of dying, a thought to squander.
It creeps upon me like a ghostly chill,
A haunting tremor, an echoing still.
What lies beyond this mortal coil's embrace?
The unknown path, the uncharted space,
Where dreams and memories in shadows fade,
And life's grand tapestry starts to degrade.
The heart within, it carries the weight,
Of the fleeting moments, the years of late.
Regrets and sorrows, joys and love,
All bundled in a fragile treasure trove.
I glimpse the stars,...
The fear of dying, a thought to squander.
It creeps upon me like a ghostly chill,
A haunting tremor, an echoing still.
What lies beyond this mortal coil's embrace?
The unknown path, the uncharted space,
Where dreams and memories in shadows fade,
And life's grand tapestry starts to degrade.
The heart within, it carries the weight,
Of the fleeting moments, the years of late.
Regrets and sorrows, joys and love,
All bundled in a fragile treasure trove.
I glimpse the stars,...

SAME ME
SAME ME
I sum up to one story, so many phases
Yet each perspective sees a completely different me
No two can agree who I choose to be
But whatever the narrative, same story same me.
It can be different pieces in every stage
From each side, my same life is rearranged
Some may think I'm more or less to blame
But same tale, no matter, same story same me.
My choices and colors are frequently transformed
But the story is my life, no matter how they're adorned
Whether it's here or there, I will always...

ART
That art is a powerful tool for social change. But you have to learn to write from the heart, not for awards or applause, but for the hearts of those immediately before you. That if you write for them – that share the same buses and streets with you, whose hunger and ignorance will not let you sleep, whose cry you hear, whose angst you understand – that if you write for them, you will change the world…"

FLORA
THE SMOOTHNESS AND FULLNESS OF HER PINK ROSY LIPS"
"THE SILKY CROWN OF HER CURLY DARK HAIR THAT WOULDN'T STRAIGHTEN"
"THE CONTOUR OF HER HIPS THAT BARE THOSE LONG LEGS "
"THE OUTLINE OF HER HOUR-GLASS BODY WITH DETAILED PROPORTIONS"
"THE CURVATURE AND FIRMNESS OF HER CLEAVAGE"
ALL THIS BECAME WORDS IN MY MANUFACTURING HEAD
THOSE WORDS NOW SONGS FOR THE ANGELS.
SHE IS OF A MIGHTY VALOR
SHE IS A VOICE AMONGST THOUSANDS
A VOICE THAT SEEKS TO BE HEARD
SHE IS A WARRIOR OF AMAZON ...

VALAR MORGHULIS
SUCH IS LIFE
A TALE OF STRIFE
THE CONFLICTED RACE
AND STRUGGLES OF MAN IN LIFE AGAINST DEATH
SHOULD LIFE THEN CHEAT DEATH
THEN OUR BREATH WOULD STRETCH IT'S SPAN TO ETERNITY
WE GRASP SO TIGHTLY HOLDING ON TO LIFE
KNOWING LIFE BEGINS WHEN THERE'S CESSATION OF LIFE
LIKE A SEED DEAD BENEATH EARTH WOULD AGAIN RISE
WE ARE FRIGHTENED BY THE LIFE DEATH USHERS US INTO
SO MUCH THAT WE DASH INTO A MARATHON CHASING SHADOWS OF DIMINISHED LIFE
A CYCLIC RACE THAT OFFSET THE BALANCE OF THE COSMOS
NO ONE CAN CHEAT DEATH ...

PRAYER
MEN OUGHT TO PRAY
AND NOT TO FAINT
IN THE DAY BE UP
IN THE NIGHT AWAKE
ONWARD YOU MARCH ON CHRISTIAN SOLDERS
ADVANCING THE FRONTIERS OF OUR TERRITORY
LOUDER AND LOUDER WE HEAR THE BATTLE CRY OF VICTORY
WHILE YOUR FERVENT PRAYERS RESOUNDING ON
DAILY ON MY KNEES
I WOULD GO
BUILDING UP MY HOLY FAITH
PRAYING ALWAYS IN THE HOLY GHOST
AND NOT TO FAINT
IN THE DAY BE UP
IN THE NIGHT AWAKE
ONWARD YOU MARCH ON CHRISTIAN SOLDERS
ADVANCING THE FRONTIERS OF OUR TERRITORY
LOUDER AND LOUDER WE HEAR THE BATTLE CRY OF VICTORY
WHILE YOUR FERVENT PRAYERS RESOUNDING ON
DAILY ON MY KNEES
I WOULD GO
BUILDING UP MY HOLY FAITH
PRAYING ALWAYS IN THE HOLY GHOST

MY LOVER FROM CALABASTER
I'M GOING FAR AWAY
BEYOND THE HORIZON OF MY MILIEU
IN SEARCH OF LOVE
ARMORED WITH VENERATION AND SONGS
AND LOO FATE PERSIST
I SAW MY MISSING RIB IN CALABASTER
AND BEHOLD!
CELESTIAL ANGELS TESTIFY OF HER GRACE
HER BEAUTY WITH NOTHING CAN IT BE COMPARED
HER VIBRANT FIGURE
ARRAYED IN GOLD
HER EXCELLENT SMILE FRAMED WITH HAPPINESS
HER BEAUTY IS AS THOUGH A REBLEND OF NATURE...

A DANCE IN THE RAIN
THE BLAZING SUN HAS CLEFT BENEATH THE DARKENED CLOUDS
THE ROARING WIND EMBRACED WITH THUNDEROUS REVERBERATION
TREES BENDING IN PROTEST TO THE WIND'S NAVIGATION
LIGHTNING THREATENING TO TEAR THE SKY IN ASUNDER
LACHRIMAL DROPS OF THE CLOUDS
REGENERATED TO BOUNTIFUL SHOWERS
LET US ALL LEAP INTO THE RAIN
FORGETTING OUR SORROWS AND PAIN
DANCING TO THE RHYTHMIC BEATS OF THE DOWNPOUR
BEATING INTO STREAMS,RIVERS AND CORRUGATED ROOF SHEETS

LUST
Sparkles in your eyes,
And thunderbolt in mine_
Kindled with flame,
In the warmth of your embrace_
I'll devour you,
Like a predator devours it's prey_
Each rhythmic stroke,
A tingling impulse down the spine_
And our tongues,
Interlocks ,running wild on exploration_
The moan full words uttered,
A language...
And thunderbolt in mine_
Kindled with flame,
In the warmth of your embrace_
I'll devour you,
Like a predator devours it's prey_
Each rhythmic stroke,
A tingling impulse down the spine_
And our tongues,
Interlocks ,running wild on exploration_
The moan full words uttered,
A language...
