    Prose – “The Black Rose” – Romance – 4/7/2020

    She flew about the room with as much grace as could the swan find its course through the beaten river. For her eyes were laced with as much sadness and pity for herself, like a cat that had been extracted of its claws. She could not fight against the pushing tide of pain, coming to…

    Poem – “At the Bottom of all my Pain” – Romance – 4/7/2020

    Reach meLife, that takes a stand.I wanted to kiss scarletOf one pair of lips. Now her radianceHas left me,Beside a fountainWhere life holds its moments. Love is the kindest funeral,Upon when the wedding takes its marchAnd its bow.Leave me only your cruelest words, at the altar. ForgiveWhat I have become.I am just another manWho cannot…

    Poem – “A Farewell to my Idle Self” – Life – 4/7/2020

    I cast asideWhere I have walked,Where the priests once talked,When they had looked over my shoulder,At the failure surrounding me.My lonely road,Has been a cold one. I say farewell,To a man who stood frozenBy a streamMade from his own tears. I whisper goodbyeTo the Hell I have forged from lies.Because, here I am,Ready to become…

    Poem – “Once upon a Kiss” – Romance – 4/7/2020

    Once upon too many shallow evenings,I saw her rise to the velvet morning.She cried solemnness to the ivory moonBefore her,As her chin stood on a pedestalAnd her face was wet with tears. I breathed what I saw,And forgot who I wasWhen she rose upwards, to meet the stars.Grace was her name,And Grace was all to…

    Poem – “Two Faces & a Mask” – Romance – 4/7/2020

    Two ways to kissThe pouring tearsInto the chalice, held in hands that hold fears.My blood has a flavor,That of iron and wine,While you will bleed me blind,Of tears that shed so divine. Why don’t you danceTo what I don’t know, about you?You are frozen in where you are seated,Just an eclipse upon a thorn,A racing…

    Poem – “The Pain Behind my Stuck Stare” – Life – 4/7/2020

    Look behind me,Or look away,For it does not matterWhich direction you choose.I matter less to a worldThat cannot loseIts mask. Stuck staresAnd reeking unawares.Life has a thousand souls apart,And I view it allWith bent back and shielding hands.There is nothing for me in this landBut the broken limbs of survivors. Place me upon the lake,Would…

    Poem – “Making Love with a Paradox” – Romance – 4/6/2020

    Make love to me, Paradox of no explanation. I could give you the taste, The taste of knowledge, The fruit born from a stem, Offered where bliss is nude. Cover me with your tears, And embed me in darkness. Let me sing what I can bring To your mouth, in the nighttime’s uncouth Display of…

    Poem – “Drunk on the Flavor of Pain” – Romance – 4/6/2020

    Who said that the world would end, When tomorrow brings the heaviest roses? Who had said that, Upon the arrival of Spring? We bleed the morning’s tears, And taste the flavor of fear, Drunk upon the saltiness of pain. Love blooms in the most miserable areas Where pollution strides around Upon human legs. We carry…

    Poem – “To Uplift you, in your Condition” – Romance – 4/5/2020

    There is death around, Stuck in the stench, upon nostrils around. What ways to see the ground, for what it truly bleeds When empathy cries a greater noise Than ever does life, when it leaves. Empathy holds instruments, as loud as the fate of others Upon the turn of their eyes away from coming death,…

    Poem – “Gifted with your Body” – Romance – 4/5/2020

    What a treat, What a romance To have the entrance, of a worn and bruised heart That does not know What path, What vein, To choose for the long road. It is all endless to her, All belonging to the infinity in her confusion. She bleeds inescapable roads At her feet. She grows tears like…

    A Quote of Wisdom – “The Perspective is always Limited” – 4/5/2020

    “How many perspectives are there? Are we to say that for how many stars there are in the universe, there are also the same number of perspectives? Or, can we even say that the one star that stands out among the rest, feels the most loneliness? As in, to say that the one star with…
