Timing couldn't be any worse
We were living in a makeshift flat
While barely making ends meet
But we always wanted a baby
So we were thrilled anyway

Yet life had other plans
Of loss and unbearable pain
As it does over and over again
My wife got pregnant and ended up having a miscarriage late 2023. It's a little over a year now, but it hurts like it happened just yesterday.

Rosy are red
and Violet blue
a little love
should be enough
you show
you don't say
on Valentine's day.

Am
I
the
fool
the user
and the mule
lost in the soul
of a dead man's shoes
with the burden of being
a
useless excuse,
my existence hangs onto a ledge
am I a silhouette
he'll bent
on
smoking
the last cigarette
or
the triumph
of
pieces
someone will collect
am
I
falling into the ignorance
of
neglect
someone catch me please
I
cannot rely
on my own regrets
.
SUICIDE

Did they see us
in the way we ignored them

Cracked SOLES extorted
because third worlds must cry
YOURS are rubberized

Never have I seen the moon turn off its light at night,
Never has it leaped into my room to chat with me or for a moment of unserious trite.
Always faithful to shine,
As similar to that of a slick wine.
Running down a stranger's throat,
Swilling as he sips and slurps - those eyes of his like that of a sneaky goat.
Never have I seen the moon turn off its light at night.

                                                Jahmenmuze..
As simple as thought but symbolical in every sense of night.
Man in mad pursuit
One thing after another
Laboring to master the world
Bound by human limitations
Chasing after the wind
All work under the sun is vanity

Increase of knowledge
The spoken WORD
Ramble and Babel
In the end Death to the WORD.
Fear the man with the book
He’s quite savvy and talks, absurd.
All is vanity burn the books
They teach spells, they curse!
