The Things They Know
...They have been with us
for as long as time
could remember
Lingering in thoughts
in every dreams
Shattered no more
freed from the masquerades
of a system
dictating us all
Waking to a hand-choked
tomorrow
that will never
be ours
so I long
not to be like them
...yet
But to know the
things behind every truth
If the dead could only speak
or perhaps
if I could only hear
or listen to their voices
then maybe
just maybe
things will be
clearer...

Bestowed
...There lies a plane
in every page of a blank book
where the colors of void
transcend
into a trance
of a silent dark
Beckoning a truth
detached
from chains of pride
beyond the burden
of the earth
beneath an old tree
inscribed by man
Cascading candle tears
signals a quill of its time to journey
into worlds
with the whispers of the wind
and a torch
that lights a painting
of fire...
Soon the flame will wane
blackness
will be absolute
and the dead knows
by the death of a candle
a poet will be born...

The Kings' Heaven
...Elaborated kings
fill their bellies with gold
while their wives
dine with princes
giving the spoils to the jackals
behind the shadows of
their king's throne
They ignore the meek
nailed on the cross
crying for nothing but water
Nine inch nails
witness the blood spill
as wolves ravaged the harvest
of farmers who dine
with the blue moon
Greed
wanting more power
leaving the inferior hanging
in the gallows
of desolated
promises....

A Song of Yesterday
...Dreams are made
when the world is quiet
A slumber into the deep
not of the abyss
neither of the drowning
Stillness
as perfect as
Her dance in the fire
Then a rainbow of men
twisted by colors
of deceiving skies
Hidden stains of a cloud
whispers a nightmare
and Her songs
succumbed into
despair...

Descending
...Falling stars do cry
with the fallen wings
of forgotten angels
A teardrop
blankets the night of
a cold embrace
plunging into the calm with
a thorn from once a red rose
Ripples distorted
every reflection of a dream
quickly fading with the wind
and madness roars an outcry
with the lunacy of a lightning
like daggers in the emptiness
of a papercut in the heart
Pain can never be mended
by a single drop
of a nostalgic whiskey
and holding on to a candle flame
is worse
amidst a storm...

Canvass of a Sunset
...Playing with the sun
a warmth in every breath
soaring with the breeze
cascading through wild daisies
A cradle within a sunflower's song
playing hide and seek
under the cool shade
of a contented wrinkled tree
Humming a song
a harmony in its leaves
and a butterfly *****
Stardust
magic in the sky
Scent of a lady and
a memory of a beautiful foliage
And as the sky
descends upon the horizon
into a collision
of melancholic hues
I wonder if tomorrow
will still be
warm...

A Quill in the Dark
...It dwells
behind the dancing candle flame
amongst the shadows
in the absence of colors
dark as almost black
not as void
but a different
emptiness
in each smoke that
fades in the air
like unicorns
drifting with a myth
Descending
with the desperation
of a flightless quill
a bloodless ink
turning into a
scream...

Fate of Choices
...Paths amongst forked tongues
choosing the right was light
or what he thought
the light of chance of the right
A scent of fool's gold
Dead trees amidst the breathing
caught by the blind
Treading with the rustling leaves
remnants from a time
when emeralds dropped a morning dew
wading through sinful tears
sorrow of a dying lotus
sinking into a drown
a sheer cliff into the abyss
And as the depth
thrusts a cold dagger
doubts faded to an inevitable
loss...

A Different Hue
...I've walked upon worlds
of fallen grounds
Wounded and healed to paint scars
as the last drop of red
paved a road of a shadow
of eternal yesterdays
I've gone to deviated slumber
to lands of never sleeping dreams
where the sun
was never blinding
and paralleled reasoning
was his radiance
while the moon
never heaved logic
upon her shadows
that lit the beauty
of tomorrow...

Certainties of Uncertain
...Control
list everything
make tomorrows shine
and rise to a new day
Will the sun rise?
Dream
soar high
Breathe into it
Forget the bounds of reality
and make it real
Is it walking on solid grounds?
Plan
Forge a bridge
Build a house
bleed some more
and call it home
Will it be a refuge?
Certainty
nothing is certain
in the word maybe
And that is certain
So...

Nightmares of Reality
...She speaks in the cold
a naked warmth
Burning cloak
of cold fires
through dark shadows
emanating from beneath
Heaven is a long journey
that winds up
within the path of hell
maybe endless
Maybe
we won't find it
There is no easy way
but to swallow each thorn
to bleed us dry
Words were not made
by rainbows and colorful skies
but of burden
that ironically saves us
Would we deny?
Yes
we always have...

Feared
...Roads upon roads
of winding twilight
a hole in the dark
darker than the nothingness
of everyday life
Hear the night speaks
a crow's caw
Listen to the shivers of the call
A maiden cries
that fills the madness
of an insatiable fear
Naiveté of delirium
is what saves us
from the panic of order
at the sight of chaos and
there's a glimpse
and we return to the voices
of everyday words...

The Beast within Men
...Seated upon a throne
at the edge of a rusted blade
of corrupted flesh and blood
A man feasts greedily
watching over slaves
who built rainbows
and clouds and blue skies
He wore brightly colored jewels
born of arrogance and filth
Slave of a golden crown
with nothing but a void
underneath the skull
He floats as he walks
with a pride of a king
but the stench can never be contained
as it screams that
this self proclaimed god
is a wretched sight
of a decaying piece
of disease...

Longing for Midnight
...There are voices
drifting with the breeze
of enigma and
transcending thoughts
Cool whispers in chorus with the night
Distortions faded as
tired man sleeps
She dances upon this unmasked field
Dreams lit by
a smile from a moonlight
upon a night sky bounded by none
Time seems
an endless reverie
as the world lies in soothing silence
But like the waves that
visit the shore
Everything in time
shall come to pass
like a glimpse of
heaven in this hell
Now that the warmth starts to fade away
and the magic turns into madness
that even the silence is
silenced
time yet again for chaos to rise
And soon I know
I would find myself
longing again for those
cool whispers...

Puppets and Masters
...Remnants of daylight has fallen
and the crows heaved a light blackened
Putting forth
dark lords of the night
In their hands pulling the strings
Fear engulfs the lands and
no one dared
forcing each breath to
be sold
for a gold
and the bold left out in the cold
Puppets feast upon the fallen
Whilst men hope not for a dead end
The devil's laugh
fills the twilight
They devour whatever he brings
Soulless...
and they never really cared
for they've been blinded and
told
to behold
all the gold our pockets can hold...

Kite
...He used to fly
of what he thought
were smiles of the sky
Soared high above the horizon
beyond borders that
never touched the seas
nor the shore
nor the sands
constantly being washed away
He sang with the sunrise
dine with the sunset
dazed by the moonlight and
filled the void
of a hanging twilight
with hopes built on dreams
Dictated by a life of
seventeen bullets
But like all men
he doesn't belong to the skies
And so
he rested
underneath a cold shade
of a dying tree...

Man
Man
...Curiosity lit the fire
Opening the chest
unleashing the chaos
Shutting the good
Pull the trigger
and everybody
panics
There's no one to blame
but the society who made it
We burn and let it burn
for there's no tomorrow
only today made
by yesterday
Sun's never cried
but you can hear it weep
Feel the tears
filled with fear
Taint the skies
Paint it flowing red
Ravage everything
Do nothing and leave the spoils
to the crows
They'll finish everything
till we're
finished...

A Different Light
...What if
I see the sun
as a golden dot?
And the clouds shroud the skies
choking the neck
breathless
What if I
hear the waves crying
and not roaring?
Would I drown
trying to calm the sea?
What if I feel
sorrow
in the eyes of a storm?
Would it be wrong to assume
that the sun's gonna die soon?
What if I see society
as a desperate act
to control chaos?
What if
I sense betrayal
in every bullet?
What if I
hear lies in every sweet kiss?
What if I'm wrong
does that make me false?

A Fabricated Madness

have walked upon
worlds of distorted grounds
Dwelling

winds

Once in Time
...Once a bringer of truth
elder fire that lights the world
a blanket in the cold
a quench in every thirst
The cawing was never a fear
and storms were always a sunshine
Honor was everything
solid as a contented rock
but those were the days...
And all that remains
shattered glass
remnants of yesterday
And unlike those raindrops
when they fall
they flood
and become
whole again...

Me and My Bicycle
...And so I ride riding
not the lightning but
my bicycle not of the shining
Leaving behind golden sun is setting
to the eastern skies my gaze are shifting
Seeking for the myth of the light rising
raging
through forgetting about everything
tears never care on my face come rolling
'cause it's only me and my bicycle
against a darkening world of
the dying…
And so I ride and ride
head on and collide
upon walls never hide
shifted fading wide
sands of time never lied
drifting hopes denied
hands of freedom all tied
But nevertheless
I come and ride
head on collide…

Falling Grounds
...Time and time again
wishing upon stars of falling grounds
within the vague of
a cold night sky
in the absence
of a longing heart
drenched deep in the void of
unspoken words
Emerging from the shadows
silent bleeding pain
of a papercut that slits
the soul of it essence
to breathe...
Struggling to wade
through flooding tears
To seek nothing more
but of smiles
painting a sunshine
on the face of a sky in blue
But then again
under a timeless night
within the twilight
of yesterday and tomorrow
grounds have fallen
And hopes were
taken...

Her
Her
...Desperately moving towards
home
Struggling through the dark
heaved by the brown-eyed girl
of brutal devilish beauty
Valentine’s not a pain til
whispers of promises
shrouded the moonlight
Casting shadows upon visions
to seek
what is true
upon waves of colorful fantasies
Blindly intoxicated by
the arrows of the cherub
Getting lost
not in the realm of logic
and of hearts beating a magic
Drunk from the waters of the falls
Wanting to be free
A pain from bleeding scars
fear of void and tears
and yet
dreaming of soaring high
in these clouded
times...

Overshadowed by insanity
shrouded by

Thoughts and Uncertainties
We walk
we run
we rage
…into the last glimpse of the lightning

We seek

We rise

We fear
we kneel
we dream

To Forget in Time
…A cold wind blows
of heaving reality
Time of shifting sands of
waves and black hole truths
Aurora’s fading
her majestic hue collapsing
fantasy’s yet
another book
in a dusty forgotten shelf
of a darkened
realm
Wounds may be healed but
the memories
scarred in time
will be forever there
like nightmares
underneath the bed
Deviating sweet dreams
painting the blue sky canvass with
a wretched black of
rotting shadows

And so
I close my eyes to
forget…

Solitude
...The silence of midnight
beneath a relentless choking
moonless sky
brings a dream of
nightmares awakened by
the roars of a
horse-drawn chariot
driven by the
headless one
haunting me since dusk
Tainted amber skies, there
was this urge to flee
but there came a calm…

There was a lingering whisper in
the chaotic silence of his walk at
the edge of a dagger
He held my sanity
wounding a scar
bleeding from regrets
Closing into my ear, I
feel the vile from his breath
I closed my eyes
shutting the world from reality
but suddenly… lightning crashes
Ironically feels like
a soothing touch…

“I am you…

…at dawn if the sun won’t rise
we will build a fortress
and I
will leave you
six feet under
within the solitude of
delirium…”

A Lie I Told
…I have shown the world
a smile that reached through
thousands of miles
And it was
nothing but a
facade
Clashing moonlight of
endless thoughts
shedding blood of tears… raging
as I’ve fought into
forever distance
In my mind I
scream in anguish…
Plunging back to my depths
a familiar sorrow I
have
felt
Leaving again the realm of sanity
off I am
to wander through
madness…

A Shrouded Dawn
…In the Deafening Silence of the Night
a teardrop plunges on stillwater
Ripples turn into waves of emotions
deep in reflection
A clouded certainty of
blinding
deflecting
Illusions
Wading through shallow streams that
drowns me in a delusional enigma
Struggling to emerge from the tides
forged by swords and spears
And with a haze in the air I
sit and ponder where
to tread my path of beyond
To the eastern horizon I
would go
Anticipation of the sunrise in the
morning meadows of
angelic songs
Where brightly colored poetry
pens the sky of a dawn and
paints the rainbow of
bliss and serenity
Forever Sunshine of
undying aspiration
Radiating through sages and flowery vast lands
But the ebb of the flowing river streams with
the widdershin of a withering hope
A shivering truth now haunts
the very core of my soul
Seeds of yesterday will soon
come to season and
the reaping will soon rise beyond my
towering fort…

...Tears of anguish that
cries within
Heart that bleeds never ending
Blinded by the light of dreams
Thrown into the lake of
scorching fear
If only the Heavens could
pull me a string
and angels
salvage the core
of my being
If only there’s Light
to beacon my way and
for the Moon to hold Her sway
If only I could
fill the void
If only I could stop the memories
If only
I could…

…And so I ride
riding not the lightning

Leaving behind

My gaze are shifting

Raging through

Tears never care

Shifted fading wide
Sands of time never lied
Drifting hopes denied
Hands of freedom all tied

Irrelevant
…Waiting under a moonless sky of
gray dawns
created by my sleep
the rain seeking for
a silver drop
cascading but never a tear
A maybe of
uncertainties and
a quiet numb
growing into a bloodless
streamless

a rainbow of unicorns
never been a withering
Wanderings never were
an aimless journey

desperately washing

Compromised
…Yesterday was fine
though not really
Maybe it was
maybe it
wasn’t
Maybe the colors were obscured
I was just dreaming of tomorrow
…What will come my way?
It was her… then she came
Together in each other’s arms
It was a cry
it was a smile… perhaps
But whatever it was
It sure was one hek of a time
We danced
and danced against
the music
Maybe I was drunk
Then again maybe
not… who knows?
I was shot then
I breathe
…was it worth every breath?
Maybe… maybe not
Maybe I shouldn’t be here
just maybe….
But I’m tellin you
it was worth every smoke
I was there around the corner
when it rained and I
took yesterday
looking for a silver drop
in the harmony
of my chaotic
dreams…

Water to Wine
...And so a flower
blooms
in the silence of twilight
amidst this field of thorns and
the burden of falling tears
A beauty unspoken witnessed by
Heaven and
Earth
Left unsaid but never unheard
And so a dream in
a slumber
Awakening a magical sensation
An angelic touch of a simple
happiness

radiating through darkened nights of
fading moonlight and
withering hope
Then again
reality comes with the dawn and
the only uncertainty is
how
do you make a
dream
come true...

Dreamless
Hanging in the twilight of
distorted sleepless
dreams
Slowly drowning in the lake
of burning fires and gloomy skies over
dying stars and black skies
With each moonlight fading
the world is falling apart
Restless… a choking of the neck

Ascending cries never ending
A deafening
silence
looms in the dark…

Crows feasting the flesh
Hanging upon a dead willow tree
No peace but a void of
a transcending despair and
a struggle in every
breath
Yesterday’s a masterpiece
blackened
Emerging strife of a desire to live
…lamenting of a withered bloom

and so it says but never
heard…
Is there a better tomorrow at
the end?

Childhood Drama
As a kid I
wanted to bring the sun down with my
slingshot and a pebble but not
my pet rock
And so I aimed
and aimed so
high
with my slingshot and a pebble
but not my
pet rock

And so I released
released the pebble
rocketing up in the sky
so I smiled…
“…the sun will soon go down”
says I…

But the pebble…
the pebble plummeted down
down, back to earth
turning into a falling star…

So I gazed upon
this daylight wishing star
wanting to wish…
but I felt
numb

And as my gaze followed
followed this wishing star
it hit not the ground
but a man’s head reminding me of Jack
Jack breaking his crown…

And for the first time as a kid
I saw a man turning into a raging bull
A raging bull he became
charging towards me
with fire in his eyes and blood
on his crown

So I ran
I ran racing the sun
and so a lesson learned
what goes up
will surely go
down…..

Nostalgic Burn
Some things don’t just
fade away
Mesmerized by a song that was once
sung
…melodies of time
Thoughts brought by the days
that were once a tomorrow
Whispering to every ear
touching every beating heart
Could be pain
could be
smiles
laughter and tears
A melange of intertwining emotions
spiraling with the ever changing face of
the silver shinning moon
A melodramatic prodigy of the night
blooming with the midnight rose
in solitude with the cries of
each
distorted
smile
Wanting to let go of the burden of the wisp
but not of the melancholic scent
Memories of walking
hand in hand
and the nostalgic breath of the wind
soothing but sometimes cold
Rekindling old flames
over and
over
again…

Whispers of the Void
…A cold wind blows
awakening
a hollow in the heart
A familiar nostalgic entity
lurking in my nights
A melancholic singing of
desperate voices
whispering through the breeze of a dry
solitary
twilight
A haunting
embracing
the abode of my sanity
Running away
from an undeniable void
brought by dark fires and tears of
what was once thought a numb
beating heart
A nightmare in my slumber of
sleepless nights
Wanting to break free and light
the candle
to see through the dark
but I find myself being

Shades of the Moonlight
speak of a different hue
She calls with soothing warmth
Hair waves loosely
An embracing reality of a touch…
Her sweet whisper’s a spell of a
Midnight Solace
beyond seas of the horizon and
sloping meadows
perfection over anything…
Fingertips gently rolling through
cascading landscapes of silk
Flowing unmasked skin
Hair raising… not of the cold
but of sweetness
within the night breeze in each breath…
A scent of a Night Flower

Its Soul touches my Heart

Showering falling stars
basking beneath

Fear flowing upon bridges

Filling the void with

…Like saddened eyes
drenched deep
from the pains of yesterday
that shrouds a glimmering hope
whispered by tomorrow
Weak in the flesh
Undressed by regrets
Wandering endlessly
through thorns of dying roses
under vague black skies
of crying stars and bleeding moon
Alone in the night
in search of a warmth… to weep
Beneath the shadow of a cloak
Wading through dark waters of
uncertainties and despair
Struggling to survive
the splintering shivering cold
Blown by melancholic voices
that echoes within the void
of a withering heart
Desperately holding on
to desolated

A Day Used to Be
I still remember the
days of golden suns
Reflections upon leaves
Days were still warm
Fields were filled with laughter and
innocent dreams
rolling down the meadows
Nothing but green and
daisies were an orchestra
A melody by angels
in chorus with the breeze
Whistling tunes of heavenly smiles
radiant hues paints the sky
…a cool morning dew
I was there…
Enjoying the breeze and
the array of yellows and butterflies
and violets and bees
Under the tree
by the olden tire
hanging on a wrinkled branch
Mighty arms of the elder oak
who has witnessed
years of sunrises and sunsets
Old maybe the tree was
but the scent were of flowers
and there was never a fading
Contented
happiness it seemed
I never left the solitude
It was a solace of an embrace…

Distant Horizon
…A sunrise of tomorrow
holding answers
from the questions of now
A guiding light
in the twilight of a man’s life where
the dark collides with
the blinding light
Raging on with the glimpse
…a candlelight
Guided by the beacon
of dancing stars
Holding on to it
with fading
breath
of each painful step
Reaching the end seems
a triumph of you
over storms and the reign of madness
Hunger strikes
like a deep hole
longing for more
Lasting the battle
with weary swords
you sit and ponder
over fields of
fool’s gold…

Dusk
…When senses get dark
and all’s left
visions of hell
a road of threatening grin
lit by a waning moonlight of
horizons running red
with a melancholic touch
of discordant amber...
Grays
Laughter echoes in the ear
not of joy
Ripping every fire of her
A vivid poisoning dream buried
six feet
underneath
Where to go from here?
Stuck in time and space
Logic devoured by chaos and
every reasoning cries
Longing to see the whispers of
a silent flame
in this realm of
darkened paths...

ruins of a fortress, louder than

Wicked gods
awakening screams

Nothing but a dream
anger driven
hope
Desperate
to be free of
despair
Into the twilight
with nothing but a blinded sight
Harmonious anguish of
howling moonlight and
a dead
song
sings
a shattering shrill
Nights of cold whispers
they’re never fading
Nostalgic
memories of the sun
If things were only
built everything upon beauty
then the skies would paint

Of Vultures and Dreams
…Seven years
of ambivalent breathing
holding a dull pencil
Trying
to inscribe my feelings with
the burden of a stone slab
on my weak lap…
The sun is already high
hunger is the boogeyman and the thirst
I know
will be my vessel
to meet the boatman
Vultures feast
ravaging the gold
Leaving me within the bounds
of corroded steel and clouded skies
Drowning in waters where
society
thrives
Each wave chokes me
with the taste of their bile
I’m tired…
Home is nowhere
but in my heart
I know it’s
somewhere
within that horizon…

Lament for Breath
Hanging in the twilight
of distorted sleepless dreams
slowly drowning in the lake
of burning fires and gloomy
skies over
dying stars
with each moonlight fading
the world is falling apart
restless… a choking of the neck

…ascending cries never ending
a deafening silence looms in the dark…

Crows feasting the flesh
hanging upon a dead willow tree
no peace but a void
of a transcending despair and
a struggle in each breath
yesterday’s a masterpiece
…blackened
emerging strife of a desire to live
lamenting of a withered
bloom…

And so it says
but never heard…

Amidst the Silence
I was under an olden tree
not very far from somewhere but
it takes time to be there
It was when the shades were cool
and the breeze whistled a
relaxing soothe
Everything seems to find bliss
in each gust of the gentle zephyr
Butterflies giggle
in every wave of emotion
Daisies wiggle
beauty in each breath
Dragonflies jiggle
...a dance with the wind
Remembering why I fled
not to escape but to find solace
I took out my pen and
a piece of parchment
but there was no blood
no fire
no chaos
Just silence in every sway
Blades of grass
touching my toes
a tingling sensation
deep in thought
...Transcendence
So I tried
gliding with the pen
through that parchment
contemplating
then there was
nothing...

Of Chasing Dreams
Waking up in the morning of our lives
Seeing the Sun
Hearing the birds
Smelling the scent of sweet flowers
Smiling at this beautiful day
Enjoying the warmth
Basking in the fields of happiness
Seeing a vision
Like a reality coming to life
Grabbing it
Raging through complexities
Forgetting about subtleties within simplicity
Looking forward to achieving
Goals are set
Climbing the never easy ladder
Or the stairwell of
sometimes unethical competitions
Reaching the top where
ego and pride awaits
Submitting to it
Devouring your sense of being
Soaring high
beyond the colors of the rainbows
When dusk comes
preoccupation wins
Sitting down contemplating
pondering thoughts…
Is everything worth my life?
Where is the happiness
that has brought the smile?
And at the end of the day
thinking…
Where are the days
when I used to bask under the sun
In the fields of
happiness?
