Cruising sails flutter, wind nearly calm, seas of glass reflecting dark Skys filled with scattered pearls.
A gentle breeze fills the empty space like a Wisper in the mist.
Unbound river now bound like waterways rising to the heavens.
Still the Sails flutter softer them a heartbeat guiding the vessel through this Mythical world.

Setting resolve, crashing,
onto desolate shores
glittering with rubies
In the depths of those eyes,
a gentle flicker-waltz
with a captivating voice,
drawing me in as a pulling force-
love by the shore
amidst water embrace,
Poseidon and Minerva
gently converge
a trio of raindrops twirled around,
completing me
as I breathe in, I ponder...
myriad reasons why.
Stay tethered, and
hold an eye on me all night
your voice is a gentle breeze
whispering sweetly to my soul,
In its melodic embrace
I find solace and feel whole
Oh, Jupiter Tonans,
madness prevails
a touch of sobriety as we age
an untamed love ignites my soul.
we don't know why we wake up this way,
feeling that something is wrong,
feeling late,
as if it had already passed the time
to commit our crimes
and it was too late to go to the balcony
to dry the blood on our hands in the sunlight.
when will we be able to sacrifice the pure,
immolate the naive
that disgust us by their innocence?
us maniacs,
raving naked around our apartments.
condominium sociopaths,
blustering and slipping in slippers
through these urban labyrinths where we kill dreams,
armed with the infamy of styleless criminals,
using ridiculous blows from rheumatic assassins.
Solaris
Temporal a passage traipse in units,
Partitioned Earth's axis and Sun's movements.
Temperate seasons buds the cosmos plains,
Text the gods, links the nightshade, spare the chains.
Constellate heaven, possession errs bliss,
Lease the sky morning dew, sunrise--lips kiss.
Evergreen sanctioned untrimmed yields to gold.
Shade, consumed by the sun, glaring, behold.
The complexion, the surface enlightens.
Eternal trolls rest, withdraw the Titans,
Unique tan for the wayward souls loosen,
Fading footed beach traces ought proven.
Temperate gold buds, untrimmed, lease heaven,
The eternal god's shade Sun's complexion.

And here I stand, in the sky I see
A star, a sun, a ball of fire and heat he be.
He gives us warmth and in the day, gives us light,
Only subsiding in the wake of that which is night.
And now, in the summer, it graces us well,
He shines upon our world with many stories to tell.
A bright herald of holiday in the middle of the year.
A time of happiness and fun and never a tear.
And although he might vanish behind the cloud of grey,
Moments after, he would reappear and stay.
The triumphant hierarch of the solar system, he’d reign,
A being who carries the other planets with vain.
Never too far and never too near,
Around him our earth would circle and steer.
Forever he’ll rule and forever he’ll burn,
On his surface, the hellish flames will churn.
Never stare upon his shining face,
For he will blind you with his light and grace.
So keep your sunscreen or your skin he will sting,
For he is Solaris, The almighty sun King.
