Saharan memories
I imagine the day they
found a catfish in the desert
An archeologist winced at
an unforgiving sun,
stretched his neck
and polished another
fucking rock
in the stupid sand
and cursed the
sheer idiocy of it all
because it’s
drunken shit-faced dumb
to look for sea snakes
in the desert
But those intrepid explorers
found their evidence
About 100 Million years ago,
while T-Rex dropped shits the
size of smart cars,
the Sahara Desert
was a vast sea
...

The Wild Courage of Despair
WHEN VULTURES OF HOPE
close in on my field of vision
in a man-made desert
parched by the gods
of money tech and power
inner wisdom beckons
the afore-bidden Fruit
of Knowledge to pick
out forlorn esperance
as an obsolete mirage
to forsake futile
hope and expectation
and dowse a hidden well
WHEN SNAKES OF DESPAIR
slither around my heels
sink me to my knees
tempt me to drink the divine
will to live my life
every drop of clarity
quenches the thirst
of my soul to summon ...

Sabotage is…
Beneath desert skylines
Alone in our private minds
We seek sanctuary
Refuge from brutality
Following contours…
There’s a crack in reasoning
We know then
It’s all sabotage
Futile in our resistance…
Still we stumble on
Crumbling facades
Mimic the backdrop
Evidence of the failing sun
Disappearing behind monstrous dunes
We are done, just as the day is…
Windswept like my love for you
Too tired to bare this weathering
My soul is carved endlessly by each grain
...

Cimmerian Sands of Deserts Black
I wander through the endless black
The desert vast, no turning back
No stars, no moon, no sound, no sign
Just sand and shadows intertwined
The wind is still, the air is thick
Each step I take feels slow, and sick
The dunes stretch out, no end in sight
As if the world itself takes flight
And yet, in every whispered gust
I feel a presence—faint, but just
A subtle shift, a breath too near
A silence sharp, edged with fear
Is something there beyond the dunes?
Watching in the blackened gloom?
Or is it just the...
The desert vast, no turning back
No stars, no moon, no sound, no sign
Just sand and shadows intertwined
The wind is still, the air is thick
Each step I take feels slow, and sick
The dunes stretch out, no end in sight
As if the world itself takes flight
And yet, in every whispered gust
I feel a presence—faint, but just
A subtle shift, a breath too near
A silence sharp, edged with fear
Is something there beyond the dunes?
Watching in the blackened gloom?
Or is it just the...

Desiccated
burning outside in
breathing in satanic dust
how I long for rain
pelting me with cold life force
hydrating my soul
breathing in satanic dust
how I long for rain
pelting me with cold life force
hydrating my soul

Glowing Darkness
In the depths of the night veil, where dreams hide,
whispers of unexplored fantasies, in the darkness they shine.
A kingdom of flavors, where fear and desire dance their tango.
Where every shadow is a promise and the moonlight is cast.
Unexplored Fantasies and Shopping List:
We'll leave the windows open, all of them, to let the wind in
that will irreparably break everything that passes by us.
In the scream of the night, where thoughts roam free,
Unexplored fantasies awaken as vast as the sea.
There is talk of misadventures, of...

A kingdom of flavors, where fear and desire dance their tango.
Where every shadow is a promise and the moonlight is cast.

Lent
the absolute is not there
the inconsistencies also do not
not even the most microscopic of faults
the tremor of the earth is not felt
and the wind, where did the wind go, in silence?
the sound of the waves fell silent on the rocks
the stillness of the rocks shook the sands
and the desert turned sour under the sun
and the voice, where did the voice go, screaming?
the color of things is not there
the scars are not there either
but the scream is the sound of everything that moves
the infinitesimal of calculations was...

The Braille of Wind
There's something different about the wind
that's travelled a long, long way
and a weary heaviness
as if compressed by the weight of miles
yet full of exotic scents and ozone
Eagerly you face the breeze
now caressing your face as you wet your lips
tasting spices from high desert plains
and sun baked granite cliffs
There's tang on the tip of the tongue
alkaline, dry and brittle yet with the softness
of thousand year old dust
desiccating with love
There's...

in the desert
here
i saw
myself alone
in the
ocean
of sand,
my shoes
leaving
their
conversations,
my thoughts
running low,
and
in the end,
i lost
myself
out there,
to be
weathered,
my silence
got no
discussion
from
the sky,
the wind,
all those
little
creatures
thought
nothing
while
trespassing
over
my bones.
