dead poet Jan 19
the banshee wails loud -
coddles the heart of darkness;
the echoes shiver.
In the hush of winds,
secrets unfold, Whispers carried on currents, untold.
Gentle voices, like echoes through time,
Speak of lives lived, in prose and rhyme.
Each rustling leaf, a chapter's refrain, People's stories etched upon the plain.
An open hall where prayers resound, Their sacred echoes, forever unbound.
The wind a messenger, weaves its tale, Of love, loss, and dreams that sail.
And as it rushes, then slows its flight, It carries our histories into the night.
Wind’s hold memories, ageless and uncouth.
In their soft murmur, ancient and free, Lies the essence of what once used to be.
Melting, dissonance, encroaching, Vaporous, unknowing, Slipping through time, now approaching, A melody of words, flowing.
In the haze of twilight's breath, Moments blend, dissolve, and fade, Unseen whispers, silent death, In the shadows, light is made.
Vapor trails of thoughts unspoken, Echoes of a distant chime, Fragments of a dream, unbroken, Dancing on the edge of time.
Understanding without knowing, In the | stillness, truth is found, A symphony of life, bestowing, Harmony in chaos bound.
Just one of my daydreams

Honoring Buckethead Halloween

De la asta am plecat,
De aceea am continuat
Fără sa am vreo așteptare
De faptul ca am fost invitat,
De unde doar am menționat

Jason and Nick, Faustian Echoes dialogues my thoughts in regards to ours, lips my feelings.

"They lie outside the boundaries that words can address; and man can only grasp those thoughts which language can express."

In eggphrastic way, I end and say
The sun gets its own shadow under Buckethead's light.
My poem to I Hate Music podcast after inviting me to talk about my muse Buckethead, hosted by Agalloch's Jason Walton and Nick Wusz. Link:

Beneath the twilight’s tender glow,
A melody drifts where soft winds go.
Once vibrant notes, now whispers low,
Of times and dreams from long ago.

A fleeting strain, a lover’s sigh,
A waltz beneath a starry sky.
Its rhythm danced through hearts so near,
Now fades to shadows we barely hear.

The keys once struck with fervent grace,
Now linger, lost, in time’s embrace.
Yet in the stillness, faint and true,
The echoes hum their mournful cue.

Oh, song of yore, where do you lie?
In whispers soft, or the weeping sky?
Perhaps within a heart’s deep sea,
Still blooms your haunting melody.

Though time may dull and mem’ries wane,
Your tune forever will remain—
An echo laced with joy and pain,
A song that sings of love’s refrain.
This poem captures the bittersweet essence of a melody that lingers in the depths of memory. It speaks to the beauty of moments long past, the joy and sorrow intertwined in the echoes of love and time. Let it remind us that even as the years fade, the songs of our hearts endure, resonating softly in the quiet corners of our souls.

Memories are what we would call
the ephemeral hues
on the canvas of time,

the intricate outlines
of painstaking work
seeming a blur from the distance;

all blending into the faded echoes
of our past regrets.
Could a canvas really be blank but so striking at the same time?

It's the magic of glances, the sincere touch,  
the fire that burns, true love.
For these reasons, and a thousand more that I have,  
I love you without measure, without pause, without time.  

He knows how to listen, he's a shining beacon,  
In seas of doubts, your love is constant.
He embraces me in my falls, he lifts me up in my flight,  
He is my companion, my horizon, my longing.  

His laughter, his being, his simple surrender,  
make my life a marvel.  
For every moment, for every emotion,  
I love my boyfriend, without condition.  

He's a soul mate, a deep bond,  
His life is my journey, his chest my world.
Laughter and walks, shared dreams,
Silences that speak, moments lost.

Her love is a river that flows unhurriedly,  
An eternal journey to joy.
At every dawn I wake up grateful  
For having such a dear soul by my side.  
I love my boyfriend, and with all my strength,  
I give him my love, in an immense way.

As bitter brew meets parted lips, do tears accompany my sips?
In shadows cast by memories, do cries echo through the eclipse?

With every whispered plea for closure, does anguish tighten its grip?
Why did you choose her over us, leaving love's vessel to slowly rip?

In this café of shattered dreams, do my heart's cries reach your ears?
Or are they lost in the cacophony of our unspoken fears?

As bitter brew meets parted lips, do you taste the salt of my tears?
Or have you moved on, leaving me to drown in love's endless spheres?
yet they still carry the echoes of their love, forever intertwined with the bittersweet memories of what once was

Can you call?

When voices are lost,
And nothing but silence echoes

Truly, it is too much-
To love with your all, it takes a cost
At the expense of yourself, you let go

Rear cheek,
And rob the moment of any frost,
Recompense, in word and not wound

What a world it could be,
If we weren't so self consumed.
