When I stepped in here
I caught the unsymmetrical patterns on the wall,
The dark maroon contrasting curtains,
An open cupboard and 
A thick layer of dust on the broken mirror
The floor, the surrounding 
A damp room with...

The mistake I had never expected,
I did it without getting into awareness
Of how it would react.
Lacking that girl in me is like lacking
Of soul in my lonely body
Honestly speaking, she is my helm,
Stark, she is...

In a beautiful huge green forest,
Lived 3 honest people, Hansel and Gretal
And their father,
And two wicked women, the witch,
And a wife who was also a step-mother.
The honest three were approached by the...

"50 Words for Poe: camera obscura"



The Night Flower 
turns in her bed
in a dark room
stories of wraiths 
like flies buzzing in her head
and blood-sucking bugs that bite
Rippers and lovers dead
come to collect her from her
ornery...

What am I, a product of a mad man's obsession to play God?
A cross breed’s creature between medicine and science?
For the whole of my parts taken from convicts, and social rejects,
Sown together by skillful hands...

"NEMESIS"


 “Where do Angels go in their dreams?
They go where wolves go to catch foxes, 
venturing forth out of small caged boxes
to the Between-Hours of Lost Love Woods” 





NEMESIS
is watching her
from his dreams
prowling soft Silver...

The monkey, that’s me,
The monkey that pretends to be free.
So happy to have his day,
To hear the cheers, the laughs,
And you looking my way.

Laughing at the faces I make,
My clever tricks, the cakes I bake,
Clapping...

I feel as if I made it so far
 But I still can’t see the end
Every step fixes and breaks my heart
I’m losing hope, friend
I’m stuck in this cage in my head
Trapped with anxiety and...

The young couple surveys the area.
Large aged oak trees gift shade.
Thick luscious grass carpets the ground.
Pastel wild flowers dance on the breeze.
The pale blue sky is expansive.

She takes the time to spread each crease
Out of...

Old John's birthday was fast approaching, he'd be seventy-two
And his family asked him nicely what he would like to do
"Do you fancy a nice picnic or sightseeing on a train?" 
"No thanks" said Old John...

I'm a pebble in the ocean 
I've washed away all my emotion
I'm falling deeper, their surrounding
I'm falling faster, but I'm not drowning
You're a feather in the sky
You were born knowing how to fly 
You chased...

how beautiful is your beloved,
 the one adored of your heart, 
when she has returned from the meadow!
my beloved, my darling,
my heart longs to you love
for that is all that you created!
I say to you:

The winter's torture rumbles down
The street, through my meager abode
And pierces my skin and inflames my bones.
Need to get out of maelstrom for a day,
Perhaps a day long bus ride.

I count my money and I'm...

Death is like a dream
Hope that keeps me wishin
I know I'm not going to heaven
I've done too much sining
Stars hanging in the sky
Like cherries I can pick
Teaching me a lesson
Somethings are impossible to reach

What's the...

The Allegory of the Cage

I have not written much of late;
I toil in my hamster wheel.
While ev'ry sage of ev'ry age
Will gape with wonder at my cage,
And speak in voices small and still
About my stilted,...

...The scene set...the curtains rise...
...sweat slowly falling increasing the intensity...
...scan the place, it's packed while the backstage is empty...
...1,2,3; slowly breathe...and I, I'm so close to collapsing
close to collapsing and throwing up my lunch, melting...

The lyric is inspired by the song “The Code” of Nemo,
the winner of 2024 Eurovision Contest


I speak to the rippling wind passing me by
Let you all hear it whisper I’ve made myself free
I’ve broken the...

January hushers in the shivering coldness
as feathery snowflakes descend on roads
over the steep ridge which abruptly plunges 
into a foamy sea and their whiteness glistens
into the blue lake without the presence of ducks;
stillness is found...

C.A.G.E
Can Anyone Get Enough

Get enough of what you might ask? Just stand clear and feel the blast that blisters and devours us all. Standing tall in a wasteland of emptiness to the knee.
See nothing over...

When I tried, I’d grab your hand
Pull you close and hurt you inside
When I lived, I’d bring you down
There’s nothing left to live for this time

Funny faces, painful places
Tempting lies and metaphoric races
Spiteful smiles, selfish...

I have a problem I'm addicted
I'm addicted to the strongest drug of all

I need it to last
and no other drug can seem to surpass
I need this...

I was walking into a garden 
That resembles the Eden.
With flowers and fruits 
hanging by the grooves.
I looked to my right,
a pond with ducks hanging by the side.
They wiggled around their huts,
eating fish and sitting in the...

Hiding in my cage, hiding shape and hiding form
Waiting breathlessly for the onslaught of the storm
 Any hopeful light is a handicapped hell hostage
Ruffling the silk feathers of your timid weak plans
You are torn from...
