Troubled, tired, unsure of what to do, Confused about religion and promises of this world. Looked for answers for my dying soul, so blue, Like stepping out a sphere that had been just twirled. Loud I cried, but no words could break out, Amid the crowd, a voiceless Ghost. Driven by misery, I found myself on the lonely route, Burned by the sun like one left to roast. No strength left, I felt face down on the sand, Nothing but silence I heard, thought I cross the living world. Then I felt as if the Living Light took me by the hand, Whispered into my ears “…It’s time to unfold”. Freedom I sensed, life became anew, Courage I gained, my mind was at ease, Peace I found, I felt so true, I deprived of it all to be led by the Breeze.

Free At Last
Take me to that place Where all are worried free Filled with warmth and abundant grace And everyone is meant to be Take me to that place Where love flows through the air By the look within each embrace A load, yet light, none can compare Take me to that place Where the world spins hectic Loneliness, a complete disgrace Like shadow, tense and electric Take me to that place With ocean waves in view Romance is born in every trace And side by side, they walk as two Take me to that place With ancient shrines so near That feed the soul with wisdom's base And guide us back to those once dear This place I tell the world A thirst-quenching waterfall To be apart it's to be hurled From a cliff, down to a great fall

Her Homeland
Day versus night and hope versus despair, Born to live, live to die, die to relive. Came from the last fear not this world of care; Still striving towards the life yet unlive’. Autumn leaves must fall; undone lies the past. Unfading scents, frozen hearts come to life, Hope’s endless tide makes fleeting passion last; Be the heroes of time as in the strife Fate has no beginning and knows no end, And still the souls heedlessly await her. Behind the curtain haze sets to descend A sweet thereafter or endless torture. Time stops at nothing, but it dies for love, And memories forever share thereof.

Weakness of Time (Sonnet)
I. Death of the Phoenix Dear Mama Falling stars, moonlight dark, red torches spread Ere dawn of day, far over river deep When in the lads the dares of fancy fame Oft they quested to waking fortunes’ sleep Sweet aroma of summer breath afar Soft waving hair and likeness sunny guise And stillness in the gaze like ocean hues ‘Twas lambent Pearl, the radiant crown ‘neath skies ‘O rose of blues slowly drained the silent seas When looting’s Muse had wed the maiden Pride That raged against the rising of the sun To fall and fall in servitudes denied Down empty streets where humble stations stood Though heads bowed down, the broken wills undone Hailed supple hopes, but midst the hopes, avowed The oppressed bride and aim that cannot run Ah, the sky is clear, Oh, the mourning doves Out of the seas came out the knightly steeds With faces stained red and blue, rode amain The crimson shores of those in wants or needs Then came the billows’ mists o’er unrest land With thunders’ roar and freezing cold decades Lone in despair, no Beacon, close or far Alas! Alas! The unloved lost in fades ‘O gleeful hymn once roamed untrodden grounds Beyond the gates of wraths and shades and fears Now skims the air whilst nightingales diffuse Lest fetter to wills of avarice’s Peers ‘O swirling darkness, drowning bleakness state Like waves of tears that burst from heart of ache On pyre of flame delight, by now grows dim Consumes with shameful scorns, doze unawake ‘O woe betide my dream and I My aim, my soul, my credo die Your Dying Daughter II. The Phoenix Shall Re-Rise My Beloved Child Let heav’n light rest upon twin rivulets And cast returning glow on worried cheek Let lively hope return sweet virtuousness And stop the weeping weep of small and weak Whence softly rave the words the leafy grasped Whilst few amid rich flowers, woods, and fields Summoned daydreams in oppressed sleeps to wake In painful stoic with neither swords nor shields Methinks if this had happened not, perchance That beauty rare would echo still in tune And wits like wings in varied raptures ‘d fly With idle dread ‘til reach the waning moon By the placid Rivers, like ores of rare That made the riverbeds mirroring sun The crafty trails, the vermeil meadow pawns Where hostages to priceless glints had fun Ponder awhile on those invective Streams When weary hopes sought access into soul’ Which knew no moist, but moist of falling tears Arose amid sweet rainy boon parole ‘O brave Angel to whom the homage paid When shades of freedom, death, unity, strength Aloft the hills, albeit the odds were few ‘Til resilience and prowess at full length ‘O silent mute on which misery lies The brazen proud, the humble roots stretch still Whose keen presence the flood and storm esteem So firm and deep, anon to aims fulfill’ Tree that blooms from river blood, time is nigh For solitude that hides near shimming lake To burst aflame from remnants of the now Like phoenix sunned in ashen dust awake’ Oh, then, I’ll dream that dream once dreamt That latest dream few've ever dreamt Love Ma III. One Moon Dear Beacons Come midnight ghosts that slide along the yards Call exiled forth, and haggle for their quests Where leering eyes at nightfall gate ignore Arising slain yearn newness’ lives abreast From tortuous routes and wave to wave to shores Where skies no longer bright and glad deceive No gentle fair nor answers to hold dear When pride depressed to swirling hopes believe Relume the gold of havens found Cast shadow aping’s frowns to ground Then, from sweet unrest, twilight world will rouse To peaceful fields, and cool of breezy night O’er which clouds float and run, whilst dancing stars Adorn. And lo, the moon is full and bright Amor Fati, Alkebulan

Over hill on a golden afternoon, Down thro’ the wooden dales, where lights succumb, Wondered when Stars wink at the Moon, To shame the Sun and hearts benumb. At last, the night! Alas The peep of owls, so flash, The squeal of ghosts, so brash, And shadows gather mass. Old whispers stir, unkind, Through mist and hollow wind... Avaunt! Wild beast deform’d… In silence loud, the former praises sound. Nola, lone, she forbore beneath the Stars, With timeless strength on cold playground, Glanced swiftly at their Wiles, and roars Reverberate… While the storm Came dancing in the frame of Flurry East, When deep into her pools so brilliant, prowl A chilling sight of restless beast, Screaming, each on hill, sad jovial howl At Moon, aboon the norm. Premeditatio Malorum

Lone Wolf
Sweet was the ancient tale once told, Of star-born realms and skies above, When primal hearts, though proud and bold, Still held the thread of love. From rose-hued lands where dreamers grew, No scorn arose, nor warlike word. ‘Twixt cultures old, the wise and true A gentle peace was heard. The sea lay calm, the waves moved slow, While birds sang high on salted air. The stars, the moon, and myths below Drew hearts with gentle care. When Orpheus, with lyre in hand, Could charm the trees and still the shore, He sang not just of death’s dim land, But love that dared for more. And songs poured out, both wide and bright, Unbound by ticking clocks or schemes. A joy unspoiled by neon light Still stirs in silent dreams. No noise, no screen, no hollow glow, Just fireside tales and open skies A world less fast, yet rich to know, Where wonder met the eyes. But now, a broken engine hums, Where whispers clash and meanings blur. Though minds are fed, the heart succumbs In dreamy shadows stir. This modern sprawl, in steel-clad guise, Sees freedom drown and ruins swell. While gilded dame with cunning eyes, Buys silence, sells the shell. Sweet childhood homes that most recall, Still mourn the loss of treasured views. While elders chase the siren’s call, The Futures drown in hues. O bitter jest, this march of mind, That trades the soul for hastened days. Where hearts and minds are redesigned By profit’s clever maze. Progress cloaked where truths are wrung May blind the heart and charm the tongue; But in the hush, old songs are sung Still bold, still clear, still young. Naturae consors esto

A Tale of Two Worlds
