Poetica

Authored: May 3, 2022 I thought I saw you through the shattered windowUnder an opaque sky of tearsThe rain that fell burnedAnd somewhere in that acidic soil were the remains of usSouls walked down deserted pavementsTrapped in their mortal memories.I thought I saw you in your winter dressUnder the remnants of blue skyI turned and…

Authored: April 30, 2022 The world is going to shit.No-one is going to save you except you.Not me, not any heroes, not any wise persons.If you want to survive then it is up to you.I would wish you luck, but it is thought that is needed, not luck.But it is up to you, depend on…

Authored: February 9, 2022 Our curt words cut shreds on those around youProtected you from the pain of the world around usYour body eclipsed by dark tattoosYour eyes masked the pain you held downI tried to show you loveBut I was turned downUntil I gave up. Our interactions were filled by you making fun of…

Authored: February 9, 2022 The waters run polluted, the stink is causticFish are dying, ecosystems collapsingBirds take their easy pray and fall dead from toxinsFish swim away sensing death, wanting survival.We’ve built factories of death on riverbanksWe flush our Human pollution into natural habitatsIn the name of Human progress and wealthNever pausing to reflect that…

Authored: February 6, 2022 “Nothing I could say, could do this justice. Quite simply, we ripped each other’s hearts out and flung it into the Void. An absolute masterpiece in eternal loss. I’m here now, many years later. And the thoughts of that time, brings me to tears even now. Reminds me of a childhood…

Authored: January 26, 2022 A message. Sent to the wrong person.You respond and so it begins.Hours later, you stop.The randomness of communicationQuestions asked, answers givenForming opinions and thoughtsIs it real or just a dreamAre you there?Winter ravages, as scenes of war on tv screens intensifySummer burns, as the virus tears through populations.”You are there?”Getting to…

Authored: January 23, 2022 I will always be hereIn the shadows where you left meI wander that limbo aloneFar from the sunlight and windsthat sweep clean the love lostand monotone bleach white boneHere in the distance I dwellalways haunting your seclusionsidestepping your illusionI still touch the heart of youyour intimate placeI see the light shining…

Authored: January 2, 2022 Trapped for so longEncased in freezing iceUntil NowThe world around it had been heating upThe prison was meltingAnd came the day where it was once again under fresh airSea levels rising but land now free under blazing suns.Awakening from slumberThis protein from ancient momentsReactivated, reawakenedThis small piece, unseen by human eyesHad…

Authored: November 24, 2021 Your sweet seduction,Your words of liesI close my eyes, and I see the deceit beginImages illicit, spider websA crimson filter.The syrupy words, toxic yet quaint to hearI never realised the abyss was behind the last sentenceWhen it was time to act, I was frozenWhen it was time to be brave, I…
