POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have a passion to create stories, draw characters, design imaginary landscapes, write songs and compose music. I can honestly say DUP was the platform that helped me developed my skills as a writer through the years.

Dejure Chronicles
Part One
With the wires
on high towers
They couldn't
spread their wings
My guardian angels
but I saw them fly...
or an illusion
of them flying...
They gave me
the great hope...
but they didn't fly
They just jumped
from one tower
to another...
trying to grab
a piece of clouds
among others
who truly
had wings
~
I've learned
to jump
a bit over the
lower wires
hanging on ...

I was Cursed...
..and
I woke up as a woman
so I thought
was I cursed or blessed?
I walked out with the thought
everything comes easy
for a woman...
I could see the eye gazes
dropping from my eye level
every time I spoke to a man
I tried to pull the
blouse up
I sensed them following me
I couldn't look back
I didn't understand the fear
so I walked fast.
I felt a hand on my waist
rubbing down
I couldn't move as I was
trying to stand steady
on the bus

sovereignty...
where's
the democracy
in a monarchy
how could
another human
be better by birth?
while one strives
just for survival
yet another
freeloader sits
on the throne
what's a freedom
in a monarchy
why can't
a monarch
chose love
and be respected?
maybe
sovereignty
comes with
a price

freeloader sits

and be respected?

Sail Away!
like a rainbow
on grey clouds
you shined and
drew colours,
stitched them
together and
cloaked the
darkness
the storm once
sought warmth
in the cold and
clung to any
sympathy
now under
your sail...
Let's sail
together
to new
horizons
on grey clouds
you shined and
drew colours,
stitched them
together and
cloaked the
darkness
the storm once
sought warmth
in the cold and
clung to any
sympathy
now under
your sail...
Let's sail
together
to new
horizons

soul in a soul
a soul
inside a soul
carrying the
weight of
the pain
the abuse
the anger
the frustration
the sorrow
the abandonment...
and,
always found
a new face
to paint over
and cover
the reality
inside a soul
carrying the
weight of
the pain
the abuse
the anger
the frustration
the sorrow
the abandonment...
and,
always found
a new face
to paint over
and cover
the reality

Mera & Sparrow
part i ]
the eyes, the lips
and the blond hair
alluring, inviting
to do something bad...
it was her role
she played it
so well
but guess
not so much
in real
[ part ii ]
it's not fair
to judge them
for their naivety
and remove
from their
creativity
let her be Mera
let him be Jack
let us enjoy them
just bring them back
because
Mera is a hero
and so is Sparrow

On the edge...
a familiar bleakness
snuck inside to
haunts the feelings,
yet surprisingly pleasant
why do I miss the
things I don’t cherish
why my soul denies
what my heart desire
I hesitate, I struggle
the eulogy of the past
been in my pocket
long enough to memorize
but I can’t read it aloud
not yet…
now,
the grave is covered in weed
the pyre is soaked and wet
and I still stand here
one foot on the light
one foot on the past

Puppets...
We've
evolved
into puppets
but the strings
grew longer
so that you
can't see
the fingers...
