Mirage of SanityI never said I was sane. I didn’t claim perfection no, I lean more towards distain. Compare, internalize, never share. Crazy, imperfect thoughts run everywhere but never straight. They don’t play the sane part long enough to call fun, so I can enjoy a day without feeling emotionally imprisoned. Sanity is not a noun that...

The Gates of HellGate or Gates 7-1-25 Based on Rodin’s Gates of Hell. It struck me that Rodin’s gates are closed which made me think of a pastor who said he would want to set up a mission at the gates of hell, that maybe, there might be one last chance of forgiveness. Agree or...

It Never Stops
There’s nothing at all that I’m needing
and little that I’m wanting,
no tasks I find too daunting~~
but the world is bleeding.
The hungry near and far need feeding;
the homeless...

Your RemembranceYour Remembrance
A time, just a time, lived to you in his heart, passed age, this love
Age, nothing remained, an empty marble tablet in a cemetery park
Your path walk is late, didn’t you see? Worn, unreadable letters
On the stone, all the noble sentences were addressed to you, only
But, but someone is waiting for you. In...

Without Regrets What Have I LeftThe end of days is a term
Dark enough
To make men squirm
And real enough
In a way
To make one consider
His final day…
Without regrets…who’s to say
And doing so I must look back
On what I wrought
And what I wrecked
What I built
And what I broke
What I gave
And what I took
Then the book that tallies sums
Finds me wanting
And then some
For...

Be Your Own Life DJYou built the skills, you have done the work,
Faced every challenge, adjusted to every quirk.
Now comes the fork in the road of life that is yours to face
Grab the microphone of life with a warm embrace
A DJ doesn’t follow sound,
They craft the moment, feel the ground.
They blend the old with the new, create the...

Your MemoryYour Memory
An ominous wind blows over me, a long time ago
From the past, nice face, blonde hair, a phenomenon
Strange temptation, mysterious curse of love
Why are you following? Why? A decaying corpse
A dead body is nothing to you. The soul isn’t yours
You are late, and I have passed away. Lost time
Lost time. The time is lost....

fragments of my life
I write of fragments in my life
things written in diaries for attics
of memories- now just bones and dust
of those lost loves that still shatter my heart
of the people who sailed in gliding ships and left
of those who turned against me and left me broken

a Sizzle and a Spark
perception sees beyond reality
interprets to the best of its ability
optimism keeps fire burning in one’s heart
while pessimism gleefully tears everything apart
instead of being boggled with the mundane
romance fills our days with wonder and champagne
a dusting of fantasy does wonders to cast a spell
kicks life up a notch and that’s no bagatelle

The Best Time of My Lifei was just walking through the days,
counting time in shades of gray.
never thought that light could find
a soul that tried to hide away.
then you came in like a sunrise
i never saw coming through the blinds.
suddenly, the world felt new—
every moment led to you.
this is the best time of my life,
i finally know what it feels...
