Premium Member Pandora’s Box
(“Pandora’s Box”, 2014, original pen and ink and oil) Pandora’s Box I don’t know who she was, What she did or how she did it, And maybe it was something sublime Or maybe she was just another woman With the kind of perfect snatch To launch a thousand ships In a sea of broken hearts, But Pandora certainly left her mark Even today,...

From the depths of forgotten sleep, the shadows of unknown dreams rise, On the paths of the night, our steps are guided by nameless stars, In the cosmic silence, the whispers of destiny that traverse us are heard, Every hidden thought becomes a window to the inner light. Through forests of memories, the heart seeks its way to clear...

Premium Member Without her, life is like a song without notes in the breeze of time
Without her, life is like a song without notes in the breeze of time, I dream dreams that shine in someone else's eyes, stars seeking their sky, She was perfect, like a divine painting in the colors of sunset, I, just a fleeting moment, a rustle of leaves in the wind, timeless. It wasn't her fault, no shadow of...

In the mystery of the dark and vast night, the blizzards of forgetfulness cry in silver verses Under the dome of the sky carved in living stones, I stand alone like a bell of thought forgotten in secrecy Time flows in circles of fire and forgetfulness, and I am a flame burning in its own ashes My soul...

Premium Member In the infinite cosmic silence, rivers of boundless thoughts flow
In the infinite cosmic silence, rivers of boundless thoughts flow, We lose ourselves in waves of illusions, calling forth the shadows of past time, We are but a dream floating on the eternal ocean of pure being, In the depths of the soul, there is no separation, only eternal flow, Everything is now and here, a dance of the...

Premium Member In the depth of silence, where shadows dance their eternal ritual
In the depth of silence, where shadows dance their eternal ritual, A song of the heart is born, a call piercing the veil of forgetfulness, There where the soul travels through abysses of light and dream, Seeking meaning in the chaos of stars that unravel into memories. The river of thoughts flows incessantly, whispering tales from foggy times, Where ancient...

Premium Member IN SILENCE
Not sure when it started at 6 staying out of a brutally violent household taking to the unforgiving streets. The streets became my teacher and family albeit dangerous life lessons learned from a merciless source. Spiritual and corporal sorrow from father’s beatings, his cruel degradation too much to bear, as everyone stood by watching me bleed. At 13, befriending teens from troubled homes,...
