Black holeFill the void that sits inside my soul,
take away the cold, restore lost parts and rebuild my core and find a way for me to be whole once more.

forevera fault of tongue has made the air grow thinner
and suddently
I don't remember the eyes that reflect back at me
perhaps it's too soon to yell
but I've been here before
with each new visit feeling longer than the last
i start to feel like this is the place I belong to
destined to reside...

Chasing shadows to mirages
chasing a light's glow
is fraught with daft illusions
shadows grow and fade
mirages beckon off-road ~
echoes are hopes oft broken...

GOD ONLY KNOWSsonger.co/song/viootoniewxyj6ra7fsadyjk
Verse 1
I saw your name carved in a dream I forgot to remember
You lit a match in the fog of a long-lost December
You walked the safe roads, quiet and confined,
While I built altars from the scraps left behind.
Refrain
God only knows...
What songs we lost...
Way back then...
God only knows...
The silence where...
They might have been...
Verse 2
He put a...

Listen to the voice of the poetCome on big men of the world
You that owe the power
You have already had much money
To move on soldiers
You have already had much gold
To feel stronger
You have already had luxury palaces
To live comfortably safer in
And fields, ground, soil, trees,
Rivers, lakes and seas.
You have taken in everything your eyes can see to the horizon.
But do you...

Still, Always YoursI never let your name rot in anyone’s mouth.
I stitched you into my shadow,
wore our love like a second soul —
barely tethered,
always flickering,
but burning
just the same.
You ask for trust
like it’s a light switch.
But trust is a bruise
that doesn’t fade overnight.
Now, when you speak my name,
another voice stirs beneath the calm—
whispers tangled in quiet echoes.
I swallow...

Hiroshima eighty years since August 6th, 1945Hiroshima – eighty years since August 6th, 1945
About fourteen and a half years
before my birth,
yours truly not even a twinkle
in the eyes of his then
young father and mother
the former born April 9th 1929,
while the latter would be turning ten
that upcoming November 13th
living in destitution
with her three older siblings

How fragile the human heart must be
to fracture and break
tremble and quake
With a single word

The words that fuel our very torment

The Jagged Edges
“Should we deny our children pain, we would also deny them entry through many doors in their hearts and souls.” Poet
Many cannot conceive truths the faithful believe,
such as jagged edges lead us to deep places
where tranquility waits to be reality.
If only brains could disengage...

Shards of LightLast night, I shot the moon
I heard a loud groan, then
It bled...slowly, dripping
moonbeams into space
until finally, the man in the moon
became homeless......

Close All DoorsI knew, and you knew, that if I listened to "Unchained Melody," I would have surrendered to yesterday. Without the praises and disappointments, those deep, lingering sighs during moments of passion, our love seemed superficial by comparison. Everything changed the moment I saw his face in my dreams. Suddenly, the sweet sounds of Gheorghe Zamfir’s...
