Knothic Towers 1: To Glimpse an Alien Sun For A Mere Moment Authored: June 23, 2021
I opened my eyes that last morning and was met by the most beautiful-lest of sights. I watched as you picked up flowers from the fields beyond this place. I saw how content and happy you were, lost in your own thoughts and idealisms. I felt love for you as I always have but that very moment, I knew I loved you the most I ever have. We spent many myriads together, watched countless suns rise and fall across a many faceted galaxies. Now my beloved, it is my time to depart. It is with a heavy heart that I must call time to our joining. I will remember the passion, the energies between us. I will remember your touch, your scent and most of all I will never forget your eyes. In the next Suns I set foot to watch from alien planets, I will watch for you, I will dream of you, and I will remember you. Goodbye my beloved. In the time to come, do not be angry at me. But know this, as I stride on rooftops with the Engines of God, knoweth that my soul, my life will return to you sometime, somewhere. Itj Towy is our destination. My heart to yours, my sun to your sun. For a Mere Moment.
Knothic Towers 2: In Silence, We Yearn Authored: June 23, 2021
Hold on there is a light my Beloved. The stars still sing between vast voids. What I’ve seen from the Galaxies I have travelled, I’ve seen the Light and the Darkness as if in a brawl. I’m throwing in, all that’s left of my soul and essence. When the Darkness rages, I hold onto a memory of you, of holding you, of making passion radiate from our Visanas. When cloaked in Darkness, our essence still warm. With these words running deep from my lips Light shall dream. Eviscerate the Darkness. Unto every soul, in Silence we yearn. Hear me Beloved; Let me break the bonds of darkness and it shall redeem our darkened Universe. Steady eyes watching still. The breaking dawn opens up the Void. In Silence, we yearn. Until we no longer yearn no more.

"There is an indefinable, mysterious power that pervades everything; I feel it, though I do not see it."
"It is this unseen power which makes itself evident, and yet defies all proof, because it is so unlike all that I perceive through my senses."
"I feel it, though I do not see it. And it is Coming"
Knothic Towers 4: What Transpired Before Authored: July 30, 2021
The Anvil stood upon the necks of Humanity and it bore down with such force. In those final days, a sickness swept the lands of mankind and tore asunder the hopes and dreams of a feckless race of beings who could not help themselves. The Observers witnessed burial grounds get filled and forests torn down to tear the ground and bury more dead humans. And the amount of death that were cremated as this sickness mutated even further and made Humanity bed to the whims of madness. Billions became millions. Millions into thousands and those thousands in to the final hundreds. The last of those Endlings wept for saviours, Gods, that never came to their aid. This was a lesson they had to experience. And for the cosmos to feel. What transpired was the final handful of humans dying until there was just One. The Endling.
Knothic Towers 4: Translated by Margaret Teofilo
Sometimes I felt like that sea Not like the boat, not like the fish, not even Like the beautiful feeling to hear that Just like the darkness of the arounds, the corners are always the same But the feeling returns with just a little piece of that, just a little more....
Knothic Towers 5: Translated by Margaret Teofilo Authored: January 16, 2023
Under laden skies, the ship traversed a haunting surreal environment. On either side were scenes showing the occupants visions of the ground below them, aged monuments starting to crumble under an alien sun. All was quiet. All was being observed. A sense of pain, misery and mourning.
Three chimes could be heard.
From azure surfaces of water, they could see a sunken city.
"Is this, what we came to see?" a voice asked.
A being turned from the portal scene. Almost humanoid. Almost.
"Brethren, we remember one last time, the race that destroyed itself. It is a lesson to us all. That life is precious. That life will reach out to life if it is healthy. That Love reaches out to love if it is untainted and unsullied. We witnessed the death of that species named Human-kind. We were not obliged to help, as our prime directive made us observe the endlings. Can we forget the clouds of death unleashed by such sickened creatures that were sentient? Can we forget the harrowed eyes before they were burnt clean from clephs? We remember the image on our View Pads of a dying man holding his mate in his arms as she died from burns and radiation. And how he screamed at the grey-form laden clouds. An endling knowing how futile it had all become. The nature, Brethren, is this; evolution is not perfection, and errors abide from moments to mere cosmic repetitive moments. Humankind was an error. A race with so much promise but also mad. Madness that took over and they slow danced into the End."
Knothic Towers 6: Aphotic Authored: November 10, 2024
"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 that I never had."
Staring at the canvas. Millions of dreams pushing forward. Make me a reality. Make me come alive. My palette dry. My paint tubes empty. My brushes void of bristles. Staring at the canvas. I just want to make you something beautiful. With a burst, my colors are vivid! A sun falling through silky clouds. The mountains on fire. The sky crimson and orange. Whisps of the wind dance across valleys. Stars peeking through streamers of light and dark. Night is coming to help you sleep. Staring at the canvas as life drains from my body…I just wanted to make you something beautiful.
The Void...
"It all made sense to me...I wanted you, but you broke my heart even as you completed it. The stars shone in your eyes as the moonlight danced on your skin, and I knew you. The silence and solitude is where I live, where my heart sleeps. I only wanted to share my solitude with you."
"The stars fall, Malenfant, do you see them fall from the mainframe? Everything is ending now. This is the end. The end of all feelings, all hopes, all dreams, all disappointments, all happiness, all anger. Everything."
"Come join me, Malenfant, here at the rooftop, take my extended hand and witness the beginning of something new and the end of something old and worn out. There is no ending to Evolution, but only alterations to the ongoing process. What comes next, is something beautiful."
