Muse On FireI made it to
the edge of thought
with consciousness
ablaze
I escaped the fire
but not the heat
all memory
a haze
I just got out
when fate attacked
from inside
burns the past
To leave me orphaned
without a home
my legacy
— in ash
(Dreamsleep: June, 2025)

How was the universe createdIn God’s heart an intent arose,
which we may simply call His will,
to manifest the universe,
where agape love may overspill.
God conjured earth, water and fire
which are present in every form
and once this knowing we acquire,
bastions of wisdom we can storm.
These three elements God combined,
to create all that’s manifest,
by force of His absolute mind,
each form being...

No More WarNo More War
Marching boots echo
no birds sing in the
shattered valleys.
Children’s toys buried
beneath the smoking ruins
where are they ?
Flags wave in triumph,
but mothers get folded notes
instead of sons.
Steel birds above us
drop fire with no memory
earth weeps sorrowfully
A soldier's last breath
drifts with dust into the wind
nameless in the dark.
.
No victor remains
when the fields are...

In Stars Above
A dress, tangerine fading into sunflower.
We stand together,
rooftop of a white concrete building.
Higher than clouds, further than moon—
she looks down, my eyes follow.
Our gazes collide when they
fall onto the mist pooling into swirls.
I couldn't help but stare, on her porcelain cheeks,
something sparkles—tears, but I cannot tell
if they're from joy or devastation.
I want to hold her—
In...

A Poet’s Syntax on Trial"A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language." (W. H. Auden)
They sit in their glass-paneled chambers, these judges,
tuning their ears to the hum of silicon—
eyebrows raised at every metaphor
too deft, too dressed, too drenched in sense.
Who wrote this? they ask, tapping screens
that blink like oracles but lie like...

This turnMy eyes swerved to someone
magnified my attention,
mesmerized in hyponsis,
felt like popping of faries bubbles down my mind,
couple of ladders to my comprehension,
I'm sliding smooth but hasty,
like adrenalin,
caught off guard.
Smelting of this cold layers on my motion,
lays softness to my curiosity
Thought future was fate determined,
yet this here shreded my expectations,
I...

Fire in the snowYou were there when I needed you the most,
just for you to disappear into the night like a vengeful ghost.
The texts you sent broke my heart,
cause deep down I never wanted us to part.
My biggest Fear,
was for you to disappear,
and for you to pass from sight like fire in the snow.
I...

Love was once a wild fire, a living flame igniting every touch with the brightness of nightLove was once a wild fire, a living flame igniting every touch with the brightness of night,
We spoke in warmth, in whispered desires, with hearts beating wildly and hands tracing the fire’s path,
But love is not meant to remain a flame, not a spark that burns and flickers always the same,
It softens, deepens, learns to...
