In the beginning of everything
once he was a good man
with the determination of a hero
the next chapter of his life began

tried to be the man
tried to be the husband
tried to be the father
tried to be a leader

things that i couldn't understand
he was bad and absent

he was a killer
my destroyer
my father

put his heart on his job
money on the table
without love to give
thought that he was able

a killer
a destroyer
a father
idk
I write to you, Father.
under the weight of my hunger,
the dark circles beneath my eyes.

A map of the nights,
I’ve lived without a name for peace.

Today, the world is a cold knife,
sharp and unrelenting.
God gave me life,
but life is a cruel companion,
like a storm that does not break,
but winds tighter and tighter
around the heart.

Heroes, Father,
are only figures made of dust and ink,
their strength lies in stories,
told in a thousand tongues
but never heard by the hungry.
Never felt by the bones,
that ache for something more,
than the hollow promises of men.

We speak of goodness
like sugar in the morning light,
but it melts in the heat of living.
You read the newspaper,
but I taste only the bitterness of the words
that spill from it.

And still,
the night comes.
The gnashing of teeth
is louder than silence,
and I am here,
waiting for the dawn
to give me something
I can hold in my hands.

This is the world, Father.
A life where hunger is a song,
where darkness is the only companion,
and the weight of being
is too heavy to bear.
But I carry it—
this unbearable weight,
and I ask,
who will weep for me,
who will see the dark circles
beneath my eyes
and say, you are not alone?
See you in captivity How many times have I wished, when I was a grass-boy, to creep into the actors' dressing rooms through the secret snail passages, like an invisible, otherworldly friendly ghost, a wandering spirit. It would have been nice then, disappointed and a little cheated, to step onto the spacious, creaking boards and, like Pious Yorick, Fastaff, or Graciano, with his head held high among the spectators, confessing the petty, naive, seemingly innocent, holy lies of everyday life.

Oh, in my mind I was greeted in Thalia's noble panopticon as an old returning guest who would only stay until he could see his favorite actress's face up close and wish her: "Big hat" - for her public appearance.

- A sly joke, a human gesture - the theater didn't do much, because money was always coming down the drain, and because an actor's hands were always tied! He sticks a drawn smile, a glued halo, angel wings on himself, so that the average person would always believe faithfully that Reality was just a kind of forgivable, idyllic appearance, a childish little nonsense. I could never understand how anyone could play a character and radically transform his or her mundaneness, behavior, etiquette and whatnot - why is it that after stepping off the boards that represent the world, the murderer would take over hubris-arrogance, haughty phlegm-excellence?!

"That was just a role, Dear Sir! I hope you understand!" - he replied. - I watched the sadness and restless hurt flow in my vulnerable soul and, like an orphaned child, I burst into tears in protest in one of the renovated restrooms, while outside the great play that deceived everyone was still going on!
When I had met them for the last time, I was forced to lie in the depths of wild, proliferating Christian bushes, like a thief fat sarcoma, but not to hit any more; The enforced, deeply hidden, brutal-backing age asked me to testify and obey several times. They had no idea that the last time would be.

Now, only I look at the bench-windows of the time, close-up doors that closed, rusted doors in the alarm, spiclishes-it would have been good, like an invisible, stray shadow only to disappear once more, to disappear in the alley of the streets ...

For the curse of the presence on the wall of the Commissioner is still shining, which, as a disease, was with me from the cursed childhood; Infections of the polarities that are tensioned with each other, the infections of the small atagonisms, can be almost cozy. "Certainly, because life is increasingly absurd, nonsense, uncertain, just like the free -thought intellect, which has an increasingly expandable border and endpoints."

Can the human soul be excluded from itself; you. that you want to stay less and less for adults?! Instead, he would choose the minutes of carefree, playful childhood, and a momentary joy: it would be good to climb a smaller hill so that one could at least see through our stone walls!

Multiverse, cosmic ballet of infinite possibilities,

Under the veil of stars, the moon questions me,

Does it exist somewhere, in infinite space,

Universes that reflect mine, by divergent balances?

The immensity of the cosmos whispers the promise,

Of a mirror universe, another version of ourselves.

Since childhood, these theories have bewitched me,

Sometimes, the mental effort obdens me, migraine of the mind.

Even today, I question this elusive reality,

The ropes of the cosmos unite natural forces,

Opening hidden dimensions, universes parallel to our sight.

Search after research, the ephemeral desire to know, never satiated.

I contemplate the moon, whisper to the star, my heavenly beloved,

What secrets do you keep, what answers to my nocturnal questions?

Ethereal is my quest, of course, but the mystery attracts the curious soul,

In a world similar to ours, would I have a sister of spirit?

Free me, they tell me, to soothe the tormented mind,

But these thoughts, I remember them, this endless struggle.

Is it wrong to question yourself, even if it defies reality?

The scent of petrichor, embodied hope, intoxicates me with theories.

Under the sky, I feel a deep void,

In search of the truth, hoping that everything is not illusory.

An insatiable hunger for knowledge embraces me,

Each thought triggers a gentle and intense euphoria.

Like enjoying a dish of spanakopita,

Ineffable sensations, yesterday again,

Looking for answers, unable to stop,

It is my passion, my eternal quest for knowledge.

The midnight came
With a glowing full moon
Nothing about it tame
Cascading light into my room

The world fell silent
Not a soul in sight
As if every star in the sky was compliant
In this conspiracy of the night

The peace engulfs me
Taking me into a serene state of mind
The sound of the waves of the nearby sea
Finally audible after a day of being undermined

The possibilities endless
Of what I could do with this time
With a holiday from a mind that’s always restless
I could dance, sing and rhyme

The calm lonely night
Threatens to disappear as soon as it began
And as I wake up with the sun shining bright
I wait for the midnight to come again
Joss Lennox May 2
Then renewal enters--
After the longest winters,
Strengthened setting sun.
where there's darkness and endings, there's also beginnings, resilience and quiet strength.

I’ve been at the helm on a rudderless ship
lost in a mercurial sea of deficiency
I could fly by the sit of my pants
with a suitcase already packed
on any given day
at any given time
at any given place
I was where I wanted to be
seeing who I wanted to see
doing what I wanted to do
despite my responsibilities as a father
or having to face the daunting tasks
that appeased my current girlfriend(s).
having no structure and no plan,
life was a timeline of formidable prospects.
I rather enjoyed it
quite nicely.

he used to say that my hair was black
and that my toenails were red
his hands were bigger than mine
because he was an older guy
i ain't no mysterious
he just couldn't figure me out
there have many ways to know me
maybe he never saw me this serious
he didn't knew me, oh he never did
thought i was his catwoman
with my body shapped on his hands
far away from his lands
and i have to say to myself everyday
what he did to me
whispers of love in the air
so distant from the end
and i have to say to mysef everyday
what he did to me
what he did to me...
i'm back
Kiss me in the darkness.
Touch me how you want to!

Let the feeling take you,
to places you've never been to.

There is truth in the darkness,
for our souls will find the light,
the light in each other
burning so bright.

So Kiss me in the darkness,
Let our souls fly to the sun.
Stay with me past the morning,
For our love has just begun.
I'm reposting this poem because I made
a video for it on my you tube where it was turned into a song.
check it out please.
