I sought to pierce the astral screen
discover things which lay unseen

existence layers to strip and peel
all cosmic secrets to reveal

with book and spell I tore the veil
beheld all things beyond the pale

creatures that rule the land of Leng
ghoul’s midnight feast, the yellow king

fungi that steal and eat men’s minds
horrors made gods that sit enshrined

the gates of mortal souls open wide
to blasphemous things that crawl inside

I descry the future’s dark corridor
where the stars are an endless sepulcher

and now I know my folly’s curse
my reason slips, my thoughts perverse

I must escape and look away
lest in this charnel house I stay

but I cannot stop through act of will
my vision seeks, strains further still

the last recourse causes gorge to rise
I must be free from these hell born eyes

the knife clutched in my shaking hand
I gouge and stab my sight be ******

and for a moment I am free
but then I am brought to my knees

o’ gods of pain and fear abhorred
my sight but clearer than before

all vision now within my mind
I would bless who could make me blind

with eyes which cannot close or hide
forever gazing and open wide

nor even death will seal them shut
on these horrors my soul must glut

my body fades I cannot die
and eternally through madness fly

In crumbling tomes of old, forgotten by light,
I read the words that time sought to blight.
The profane crawls like fire through my soul,
Yet still, I search—for what
can’t be whole.
The stars are wrong; they flicker, tremble with dread,
And something stirs beneath the shifting tides.
No hallowed man can see what I have seen,
Yet still, the visions claw and tear
at me.
The stars—they scream of what must never be,
And in the deep, the whispered names break free.
In fathomless depths, a dreaming city lies,
Where gods of old prepare to
twist the
sky.

Congratulations.
You’re finished.
Wait here, as your light
Diminishes to a flicker;
Never again bothered by
The greed and vice of humanity.

What’s that?
You want to go back?
You sure are funny, Little one.
You forfeited your right to live among mortals
When you finished this game.
This game of life.
Found myself pondering existence this morning, and now here we are,a brand new poem for your enjoyment!

Please weave your
nerves along
My bones,
my marrow is
your supper.
Please wrap your
never ending
absoluteness around
My eternity,
my endlessness is
your reward.
Some human connections feel so intense that it becomes hard to deny the existence or magic.

In the night's dark , starry sea
I find my worries, drifting free
In this stillness,i found my nest
A place to rest, and be my best

That starts up high, with a twinkling show
Reflect the beauty,that life can grow
The moon's pale glow, a guiding light
Leads me through, life's darkest night

Like a leaf in a cosmic sea
I drift on winds, wild and free
In this celestial loving grasp
I found my soul,in a peaceful clasp.
In the celestial ballet of night, I find solace. This poem weaves together the gentle beauty of stars, the guiding light of the moon, and the freedom of the cosmic winds to create a sanctuary for the soul.
You say cry me a river
I'll grant you a sea
Though it'll be more than you'll ever deserve from me
Ask for forgiveness
But none you’ll receive
For there’s no way I'll continue to be deceived

Red like the scorched Earth covering Mars
Your blood will cry out but will never be heard,
Oh stars of the heavens
Shall fall into hell
And for all eternity the impurities will dispel
Oh stars of the heavens
Shall crumble to dust And back to nothing from which you'll return
I got the inspiration from the Dragon Prince season 6 ending

Just be merry because the sun is shining just for you
Just be merry because the moon is sending love to you
Just be merry because the wind is lending breath to you
Just be merry because the water is quenching you
Just be merry because the fire is sending its warmth to you
Just be merry because the earth is endowing you with a home
Just be merry because the space is just letting you be

Feels grounding.
Aqueous bombs descend from these eyes /
As I wonder beneath nightfall. /
Seeing, hearing the kaleidoscopic dream /
As it unravels, unfurls through me /
Heightens my perceptivities. /

I am luminous, I am luminous /
As I glisten upon the dreamscape. /
I am a cosmic reverberation, /
An ethereal resonation /
Luminosity, blue-hot./

Self-sovereignty: /
I am a freedom all my own, /
Lows (algid), /
Highs (empyreal, pyroclastic); /
I am astral. /

All those memories written,
Penned in stardust’s softest gleam,
A timeless tale, a lover’s dream.
The sands of time, forever in motion,
Yet love’s ember eternally glows.

A love so vast, transcended a million universes,
Once sealed with doubt and fear, now shattered,
In love’s purest, crystalline embrace,
Our souls ignite, a celestial chase.

As worlds collide in cosmic art,
Two hearts aflame, soul to heart.
Upside down, our destinies entwined,
Boundless paradox of love.

Through galaxies of timeless magic,

evermore,

In cosmic dance, a perfect sphere.
In time’s mosaic, fragments bright,
Guiding light that shines the way,
To the grandeur Eden of love.
