Poetica

Authored: November 23, 2020 This anger I felt for you held me backThis raw emotion was my downfallStymied my progression into a regressionSo, I have to let you go, excise you from my being.Maybe then shall I love again?Maybe then shall I see wonder in nature againAway you go, separate me from your cordsMoving On.After…

Authored: November 22, 2020 A veil of dust obscures the moonlit surroundsAll is quiet, even the wind is tame tonightThe lone figure at the cemetery, sits next to a graveA forlorn figure, his back hunchedAs if weighed down by imaginary stones on his backHis hands on his face, he sobsEverything ends below the sky and…

Authored: November 15, 2020 The loss of value in valourComing home, I felt forlornIn sleep I dream of the deadThat we killed.How am I to lead a normal life?When all I can remember is the deadI don’t deserve this peaceSo, I push away my wife and my child.Dreams turn into a nightmareMy hands in dreams…

Authored: November 15, 2020 The streets no longer bustle,no beer is spilling from terraced tables,the sun has gone,the people are absent.A call from the last part,to tell me absence will remain,the city as I knew it, empty,the dream I once pictured, gone.I was the only one absent from this dream,the missing jigsaw piece,I am the…

Authored: November 15, 2020 I watch this river flow across the countrysideCarrying our sadness along with itThe wind still blows East and WestwardAlong it carries whispers and echos.Our happiness has just been tossed,Beneath our feet now it dwellsDusted and dried in the long waitMaybe we lost the glory we never had.I thought we stole the…

Authored: November 14, 2020 Tragedy, through time, is but a whisper.A scar that lays upon the mind.Only stirred by the sounds of winter.When life stops, just to begin again.Change is constant, always forming anew.From broken pieces of matter.Forging things from people you once knew.Tragedy, a marking in time, where life becomes renewed.

Authored: November 12, 2020 When the body breaksThings of beauty burnI would give my breath away to remember our bewildermentThe dust swirling into your shapeThis elegy became a mysteriumThis is not enough.Awake one more time,with eyes that belie the faults and beauty of us allNow and not yetThis is what’s possible if you slow down.Hear…

Authored: November 12, 2020 Somewhere, elsewhereAn alternative meOn a different pathFound his someoneThese dimensions are migratory pathsIn my dreams, I see this alternativeThe alternative me is not brokenA happier endingI awaken to my realityKnowing out there, between sky and oceanThere’s a happier pathAnd mayhap my next migrationWill be somewhere beautiful.

Authored: November 11, 2020 Under clear skies of EarthWhere pristine oceans touch sandAnd the Green has returned to the leaves and treesUnder the rich blue hue of the daylight skyThe last remnants now of a long-lost civilisationAglow under the light of Stars and Moon.And the Earth revels in a new balanceNow is the time of…

Authored: November 10, 2020 In a forgotten city, at the end of timeSomebody unknown left a final letter on withered paperA final letter that may never be read againEverything must come to an endEverything….On this Earth, the land takes back its ownWith every blossoming, every rebirth, every beginningThe memory of Humanity fades into the etherEven…
