Sweet was the ancient tale once told, Of star-born realms and skies above, When primal hearts, though proud and bold, Still held the thread of love. From rose-hued lands where dreamers grew, No scorn arose, nor warlike word. ‘Twixt cultures old, the wise and true A gentle peace was heard. The sea lay calm, the waves moved slow, While birds sang high on salted air. The stars, the moon, and myths below Drew hearts with gentle care. When Orpheus, with lyre in hand, Could charm the trees and still the shore, He sang not just of death’s dim land, But love that dared for more. And songs poured out, both wide and bright, Unbound by ticking clocks or schemes. A joy unspoiled by neon light Still stirs in silent dreams. No noise, no screen, no hollow glow, Just fireside tales and open skies A world less fast, yet rich to know, Where wonder met the eyes. But now, a broken engine hums, Where whispers clash and meanings blur. Though minds are fed, the heart succumbs In dreamy shadows stir. This modern sprawl, in steel-clad guise, Sees freedom drown and ruins swell. While gilded dame with cunning eyes, Buys silence, sells the shell. Sweet childhood homes that most recall, Still mourn the loss of treasured views. While elders chase the siren’s call, The Futures drown in hues. O bitter jest, this march of mind, That trades the soul for hastened days. Where hearts and minds are redesigned By profit’s clever maze. Progress cloaked where truths are wrung May blind the heart and charm the tongue; But in the hush, old songs are sung Still bold, still clear, still young. Naturae consors esto

A Tale of Two Worlds
Sweet was the ancient tale once told, Of star-born realms and skies above, When primal hearts, though proud and bold, Still held the thread of love. From rose-hued lands where dreamers grew, No scorn arose, nor warlike word. ‘Twixt cultures old, the wise and true A gentle peace was heard. The sea lay calm, the waves moved slow, While birds sang high on salted air. The stars, the moon, and myths below Drew hearts with gentle care. When Orpheus, with lyre in hand, Could charm the trees and still the shore, He sang not just of death’s dim land, But love that dared for more. And songs poured out, both wide and bright, Unbound by ticking clocks or schemes. A joy unspoiled by neon light Still stirs in silent dreams. No noise, no screen, no hollow glow, Just fireside tales and open skies A world less fast, yet rich to know, Where wonder met the eyes. But now, a broken engine hums, Where whispers clash and meanings blur. Though minds are fed, the heart succumbs In dreamy shadows stir.

From the usual desires within a store From the potato chips that don't call for you but still eat From the shredded cheese that only seems delectable at 2:00 am There is nothing in this world we wouldn't crave For we are the ones who have slept through sleepless nights For we that have been addicted to the nectar that is known as coffee And For we that has been blessed with Lusus Naturae But remember, That even if we were blessed. The ill will wish for us And we shall respond as it is not our duty to do so Instead, it is just the cravings that bond our blessings and that we are one in the twilight

Cravings
MEPHISTOPHELES. Make good use of your time! It hurries past, But order and method make time last, So, friend, take my advice to heart: Hear lectures on logic for a start. Logic will train your mind all right; Like inquisitor's boots it will squeeze you tight,, Your thoughts will learn to creep and crawl And never lose their way at all, Not get criss-crossed as now, or go Will-o'-the-wisping to and fro! We'll teach you that your process of thinking Instead of being like eating and drinking, Spontaneous, instantaneous, free, Must proceed by one and two and three. Our thought-machine, as I assume, Is in fact like a master-weavers loom: One ****** of his foot, and a thousand threads Invisibly shift, and hither and thither The shuttles dart - just one he treads And a thousand strands all twine together. In comes your philosopher and proves It must happen by distinct logical moves: The first is this, the second is that, And the third and fourth then follow pat; If you leave out one or leave out two, Then neither three nor four can be true. The students applaud, they all say 'just so!'- But how to weavers they still don't know. When scholars study a thing, they strive To **** it first, if it's alive; Then they have the parts and they've lost the whole, For the link that's missing was the living soul. Encheiresis naturae, says Chemistry now - Moccking itself without knowing how.

Faust: Part One; Faust's Study (II) #2
I am in a deep dark hole-- An asylum of my mind. It's better to be locked in a room Where no damage can be done, Where everyone treats me as who they perceive me to be-- A ****** lunatic. I know this isn't my rightful place, I know I sound so childish and Narcissistic To say these things, But if there is no escape from your pain, What a better place to reside? I scream and scream for hours In this nightmarish dream, Without the knowledge of the darkest secrets Hiding in the mist of all this black. All the while the prince tries to rescue me. I guess it's unclear if I Let myself be trapped or if You have trapped me in my own Sick state of existence. I long for the prince's arms to be around me.

Lusus Naturae
Vis medicatric naturae The healing of the mother She knows the best medicine From the dirt she heals We don’t understand her healing techniques But vis medicatrix naturae is impossible to beat We might not think she’s right When she takes away our loved But what is giveth Is taketh away Vix medicatric naturae The healing of nature Mother knows best Let her find the cure

Vis Medicatrix Naturae
collapse the husk of sin with the lucid dirt caked better and more. all about your cascade. and bleached serenity stiffly decaying. a grave calm in the ******* of untold lovers. to be cadaverous an apathetic magic. seems it to me the sky was blue but cracked melody of ruffled gray hips sprawled exactly on its electric lips to tickle precisely the accurate giggle of rainbow fuzz. hush now delicious day and break staggeringly on the luscious nightmare. A lusus naturae said "why not dip the razors in your purity to slit the rhythmic shudders of your vermilion music. but anon hither it doth come and merry it will slander with the clouds?" slither correctly it wAS in the ponds of streelight ****** begging white palpations to the weak skin. but flustered in wickedly; in her still column of hot ice. i loved only her.

XVii
I am made of earth bleached blonde by the sun that from its heart radiates its rays into my veins. The pores of my luxuriant skin are fields full of trees and full of every fruit. Oceans burrow my legs through my arms, colourful lakes drive crystal-clear waters and waterfalls barely come to surface. My fingers are rivers of stars that turn my hands and my feet into skies, evanescent comets appear and my eyes are full of galaxies. My hair is foam from the sea my lips are shells dressed with pearls and my eyelashes are plaited with golden silver. From my cloud nose to my moon ears my face is a tapestry of flowers and scents the light of the day unfurls itself upon me all around me the dawn and the sunset kiss the night. 10.11.'15

**** naturae
Dear, I haven't told you the many times I've wished to capture the stars above to have something in my hands that twinkle more than your eyes do For I was blinded, and I wanted to forget. To forget how you lit up every piece inside of me and left with an agonizing heat that started a fire in my lungs I tried to breathe you out but your entirety has consumed whatever monsters I had. Now, you’ve replaced all of them – the monsters.
