Poetica

Authored: August 7, 2022 That night, I tried to fleeYou had tipped your drink over meThen left from the Bar as everyone watchedI should have left you then and thereBut I believed that I loved you.Walking out alone from the Bar into a crisp nightI received a text from you with one word “Sorry”And I…

Authored: August 6, 2022 Did we yearn for something more?Did we seek for something different?We’ve made Decisions in hasteLost people who maybe could’ve made us better peopleOr kept people who were destructive storms in our lives.Have you ever watched specks of dust in a sunbeam?In silence, pondering the journeys of that dust particle?Close your eyes…

Authored: August 6, 2022 I wanted to understand youI wanted to feel your painI wanted to be there for youI wanted to be that rock you needed.I was told that people would hurt you in lifeAnd for many years I fought against those wordsBelieving in a hope that people were all goodBelieving in the hope…

Authored: August 1, 2022 This night, under incandescent StarsThis night, under radiant street lightsWe yearn for something more, something realWe seek enlightenment from the depths of despairHearing the cries of dissonance from dark alleywaysMesmerise me, oh, you.Are you worried about the Devil?As the streetlights pale into crimson regressTonight, you will see the realityThe strugglers will…

Authored: July 25, 2022 We were never perfect specimensLiving visages under constant maelstromThe cycles of life, of death, of lifeWe’ve seen countless sunrises and sunsetsWhat have we learnt?The Stars shine above, watching us turn on each otherObserving tearlessly blood shed on green groundsThe Massacres of InnocenceSol Solis burns bright, irradiantWe’re drifting on this rock, this…

Authored: July 6, 2022 The night is burning. The Moon has become the dark’s Sun. The birds have long died, their bones haunt the ground. The oceans are burning and boiling away. Countries are no more; borders became a defunct notion. How does it feel to die of hunger? How does it feel to die…

Authored: June 22, 2022 I imagine that once we are gone, the Universe will remember usMolecules will escape into SpaceAnd retain who we once wereWe will journey between the StarsAll that will cease But memories abide.Like Honey from the Branch, that last tree on EarthWill be Sweet and TenderLove will flow and rememberThere was just…

Authored: May 15, 2022 All is quiet at the dead of nightIf you listen closely, you may hear the stillness lamentSlowly the fading echoes recedeAnd lights blanket an empty backdrop of shadowsEven remnants recede into the distance and soon vanishThe mist forms a dew on cold surfacesTrodden pavements make way for the next era.Fade out…

Authored: May 5, 2022 When all is lostYou have me, a memoryOf tangled flesh and boneSplayed across your skinAnd you’ll know, you’ll knowHow to disappear completely.There’s nothing more to fearWe’ve scrapped the bottomAnd the waters flowFlow into a clear dark skyWhere’d the Stars Go?That silence….When all is lostYou’ve got nothing left to fearThen yourself.Followed by…
