Caveman
Civilisation's got me down
taking me to the tail of my tether
driving me round the bend
I'm not going to stick it out
to see where it will end
I'll do my best to regress
back to the stone age
cook on fire paint the walls
sit on rocks keep my cool
do what I have to when nature calls
humanity gets my goat

A World On FireThere’s a fire raging in my heart,
I feel helpless as I see
the world in dire straits
and the humanity structure
seemed on the point of collapse…
A wound that doesn’t get healed
A thirst that couldn’t get quenched
A desire that couldn’t...

The Fire Beneath Her SilenceThey said
she imagined it–
that flicker in her spine,
like a vow whispered
between the bones,
a hush older than memory.
no temple,
no mantra,
no saint's breath on her shoulder–
just a silence
that split her
softly
like dawn splits shadow.
something rose–
not seen,
but felt,
like a secret carried
from life to life,
finally unfolding.
it wasn't light,
not yet
it was heat
that knew her name.

Divinity On Trial
**I.**
Does my radiance scorch your comfort?
Does my presence rattle your idols?
You call me delusional—
Yet tremble when I speak without chains.
**II.**
You offer pills like prayers,
not to heal, but to silence.
Still I rise, voice unmuted,
confessing only that I am whole.
**III.** ...

13931393
Yvain, the son of the Earl of Foix, did painfully expire
At a Royal Masquerade Ball as his costume caught fire
And a most tragic yet quite strange event, did transpire
As many others all around, tried to fan the flames away
Aimery Poitiers, a French nobleman also died that way
As did two more in 1393 at the King’s...

Phoenix's LamentI rose from flames that kissed my wings,
A timeless dance where rebirth sings.
Ash and ember, my cradle, my shroud,
I burn anew, fierce and proud.
I watched them gaze, their fragile eyes,
Afraid of death, of fate’s disguise.
Yet I am death and life entwined,
A creature forged beyond the blind.
The fire does not scorch it shapes, it molds,
It claims...

Not Ash, But FireThey mistook her silence for softness.
But beneath that stillness,
the ground was shifting.
She wasn't snow–
she was the mountain before it breaks.
She held her tongue like a fuse,
every word a spark she wasn't ready to let go.
Not yet.
She didn't scream–
she shimmered.
Until the heat in her lungs became truth,
until the truth was too molten...

The Ancient OnesI felt the earth moving under my roots.
Very same feeling deep down as it was -
five thousand years ago when Flame Mountain
started murmuring and belching before.
It turned its anger on all of us
spewing a fire river of scorching lava
burning the brush to ash, darkening
all living things it touched in its flow.
They call me "Methuselah The...

You Have No Clue 2Before your clocks, before your name/
Before dust whispered into bone/
There was light-I was flame/
Crowned in brilliance, alone/
Not fallen. Not damned. Just other/
Too bright for Heaven's fragile sky/
They called it pride, not knowing the shudder/
Of a God who dared to cry/
They shaped me from the holiness' edge/
But chained my glow in fear/
I rose beyond their sacred...

spark"If you are blessed, with a spark,
Within your spirit and within your heart,
It is in my opinion, that it is within your obligation,
To be brought to ashes by it."
This is a quote by Charles Bukowski,
It is the exact reason people must know the ins and outs,
Of something that we do not care about.
It is why...
