POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
An explorer on a distant planet, walks through the ruins, An explorer on a distant planet, and the journey begins.
The Flying Homunculus
I sometimes think,
What it means,
A fool in disaster,
Bygone the age of elder.
Hoping for transcendence,
Am I in regress?
Looking in dull moments,
A thought of remembrance.
A concept of,
Fear in me,
Lapse of moment,
In uncertainty.
A ghost in me,
Roams the world,
Why I sold my soul,
To have another?
And to get to,
Answer that question,
The end would be close,
Delayed disaster.
If I could...

Slavery of the Soul
Dreams that live, dreams that die,
Sometimes it's only a wail in winter sky.
When you can't hear, when you can't see,
It only kills from within, writhe in agony.
And the faint glow in eyes burns only deep,
Etched within the heart & silence breaks sleep.
The face of madness fails to unveil good,
Evil remains near still, waning courage could.
Still among rubble & ash, reached in vain.
Lapses eternity in mind, never comes the rain.
A sunshine that lit unto us, shrouded in hide,
Life left almost still, it was inside. ...

The face of madness fails to unveil good,

Still among rubble & ash, reached in vain.
Lapses eternity in mind, never comes the rain.
A sunshine that lit unto us, shrouded in hide,
Life left almost still, it was inside. ...

Nuclear Outbreak
A chain of smoke sailing in the sky,
Graphite coffin covered in myth inside.
A story that hides in serenity,
A sacrophagus that disrupts reality.
Manmade accident
Splits strings apart.
Municipal Wasteland
Population assault.
Radiation measurement
As if nothing happened.
Radioactive knowledge
And a cry of distress.
People taken away for plague treatment,
Poison spreads and reveals itself.
Spiral helix begins to reform,
A force eats away life every dawn....

The Wind beneath the Wings
Do you remember the day we first met?
I ran amidst the scorching summer heat,
And a sudden shrill came to my ears.
As if the silent ebbing flow of water,
That was disrupted suddenly,
Stopped to show an act of bravery.
And if tomorrow, you & I will be gone,
Please don't ever let go,
These fingers that slightly touch you.
And as we shared our frozen breaths,
The snow melted slowly and slowly.
And on those dreamlike days,
You were smiling, always smiling.
And if the rainbows in heart,
Are nothing but...

The Smell of Water
Come with me to dream of sleepless nights,
To bid farewell to the leaves that wither,
Under this dust filled sky.
To talk of water gathering in a stagnant pool,
And when the emotions come rushing in,
It's something that disappears within.
Something that makes the world serene,
And the sky talks of memories I can't explain.
Come with me to sail a ship through infinite blues,
As droplets of red stains the coral shore,
The backdoor of eyes open to stare at that sight.
Everything is rendered silent,
And the horizon...
To bid farewell to the leaves that wither,
Under this dust filled sky.
To talk of water gathering in a stagnant pool,
And when the emotions come rushing in,
It's something that disappears within.
Something that makes the world serene,
And the sky talks of memories I can't explain.
Come with me to sail a ship through infinite blues,
As droplets of red stains the coral shore,
The backdoor of eyes open to stare at that sight.
Everything is rendered silent,
And the horizon...

Clockwork Prisoner
I once told you the northern tales,
Where we gathered round,
& the embers in bonfire flew away.
I told you a dream from a distant day,
A dream I no longer remember,
A story no one talks of anymore.
I hold you close to me.
You faintly sang the song of
Bright green sadness,
A place where nothing would end,
& a choir of sighs embraced us.
As I sat in the corner of my mind,
Only your essence I could hear.
In silence broke a new dawn,
& happiness started in the light.
I fell in love with you.

Remembrance
A hopeful sanctuary within,
Death gives new meaning.
In my domain, abomination,
Left in nothing but a ruin.
A tragedy spills a poison
Not all lie need a meaning.
In my domain, abomination,
Take everything, left in ruin.
Hold my life in your eyes,
Let the word spill,
Watch me die.
Take everything, why don't you try,
Blood in your eyes,
I know when you lie.
Drown in the poison,
You don't need them anymore.
Drown in the poison,
They are not here anymore.
The sun burns brighter, ...
Death gives new meaning.

Let the word spill,
Watch me die.
Take everything, why don't you try,
Blood in your eyes,
I know when you lie.
Drown in the poison,
You don't need them anymore.
Drown in the poison,
They are not here anymore.
The sun burns brighter, ...

Constellation lullaby
Waning moon eclipsed neath stars,
Thoughts provoked fascination.
The sleep nigh in witching hours,
A traveller roams in desperation.
Specks a light in shade of grandiose,
A momentary lapse in time.
Repeats nights of breaking dawn,
Grant him sleep, grant him chime.
Remorse a treason in space,
Nergal sips deep.
Ending of a cosmic wander,
Mind lays the keep.

Nergal sips deep.
Ending of a cosmic wander,

Rain Dance
A plague has taken place in my reality,
It devours my faith.
It's holding hands with me.
An empty road still runs past the horizon,
Fills the sky with birds,
I'm flying away,
Do you know my name?
I danced with the rain in the sun,
Drew the curses I never wanted to see.
Revealed the answer of my entity,
It's me I never wanted to see.
A world I had never seen.
When you decide to die,
You burn all your breath.
Embrace the clear sky,
Or a life in satisfaction,
You are all alone.
Reach the light on...
It devours my faith.
It's holding hands with me.
An empty road still runs past the horizon,
Fills the sky with birds,
I'm flying away,
Do you know my name?
I danced with the rain in the sun,
Drew the curses I never wanted to see.
Revealed the answer of my entity,
It's me I never wanted to see.
A world I had never seen.
When you decide to die,
You burn all your breath.
Embrace the clear sky,
Or a life in satisfaction,
You are all alone.
Reach the light on...

Summer Night Dementia
Is it me or is it them who should say,
What's right or wrong.
I've been driving along this road,
For much too long.
The tension in the air has taken flight,
An eon has gone past.
The bones are chilling,
It's so hard to say.
Is it us or is it them,
Who has gone away.
The years are getting shorter,
As the color of life starts to fade away.
The tension in the air has taken flight,
An eon has gone past.
The bones are chilling,
I thought I had something more to say.
I can see my...

Writings
Fragments of memories past,
& present falls through the page.
A projection in reflection,
& the thoughts begin to take shape.
Drifting are shapes of heart,
& the year of my death.
Resurrection is in my birth,
& the stories never end.
Illusions & desolation is in my head,
The ink never heals, tortured by myself.
An act of salvation to hold me in depth,
Depression in springtime reveals itself.

Desert Rain
Looking through the desert rain,
The child prays for a dream.
He only sees epitaph in his wake,
A dream that only eats life away,
He doesn't understand.
The child hears a countdown,
As he remembers the vanished years.
He looks through the dusty windowpane,
The past is something he could see,
He knew he wasn't a child anymore.
As he hears the air breathing into his head,
The sky is chained and it won't stop crying.
A cruel smile behind every ruin,
Behind every last mourning, a death alone.
When he's alone, ...

A cruel smile behind every ruin,
Behind every last mourning, a death alone.
When he's alone, ...
