A Tempting Dawn
A new year is dawning.
With a moan as an escort
Tempting a conversation
through the front door.
Fingers run down the mistletoe.
Moving in quick succession
To finish what started with a seduction.
Invisible footprints
decorate the naked floors
motioning a pleasure unexplored
Mirrors shatter the illusion
of this lustful encounter,
on the day after Christmas.

Midday Traffic
Traffic is like
a game of Tetris.
Every vehicle just
a part of a puzzle
trying to fit in.
Moving forward
they navigate
through a straight path.
Glitching as they waver.
Red lights sound an omen
and Green just noise.
To keep the game going
one must move on
to the next point
A sharp sound rings
Signalling the end
of a game well ...

The Case of Self Worth
Proving your worth
might seem good enough
to some but weigh down others
Are we good enough?
How do we decipher a mystery that
constantly changes the rules of the game?
Where the stakes are high
and the rewards just
a validation of ego
an ego that is not ever pleased.
Anchored by our faults
we work against nature
to create monsters
in an absu...

Toxic Affection
Pain coiled
In the red cords of love
Cause a sweet-toxic flow of passion
That pierces the souls of the fateful
Birthing a horrid abomination.
Adoring a beautiful ensemble
It comes to those who seek
An emotion that is nearing extinction.
Promising a blissful existence
It illuminates a trail
Feeding on the vitality of those who walk
Leaving a car...

Sanity.
How can one justify sanity,
In a world ridden with patients,
Who don’t acknowledge their ailment?
Who are plagued by a disease
That make them believe
In a dystopian, utopia
A chaotic world
Losing hold
Leaking from the orifices
of reality
We are agents following a cure
For an illness that is our mind.
In a world gone mad
Are we really t...

Invisible Emotions
Fake smiles are hidden
Behind bright lights.
The glare overshadows
The hidden sentiments
Binding us to the world.
Chasing butterflies
Counting stars
Are what struck
A possible accord
Leading to a break
In the midst of this bright light
Overpowered by a dark nature
It stabs into the world
Plummeting,
Never isolated just lacking
A new appro...

Conditional Love
A fire so passionate
Burns bright within
The paired souls
Craving an embrace
So pure yet tainted by desire.
Like a tide
It flows beautifully
Encompassing the world
That they breathe in
Neither grasping the end.
Eventually letting go,
The words,
*“Mi Amor Eterno.
Lo Siento.”*
Are alone resounded
As the two disperse.
*My eternal love...

Umbrella Souls
Flickering lights
And heavy droplets
Rain down on
This umbrella world.
Creating a sequence
To claim the naked souls
Of those trying to escape reality.
Standing in the stillness
We switch to a beautiful nightmare
Awaiting us beyond
The wall we’ve shaped.
Shooting stars
No longer hold true
To the wishes, we’ve made.
Keeping our distance

A Torrid Love Affair
Waves of smoke fill the air
Like a blanket
Covering the bed.
It flows in unison
Oblivious of its surroundings
Slaughtering the weak and bare.
Latent offspring of the fire it emerges
Cascading an emotion
Too dreadful to compare.
Crazy how one feels
When writing about a love affair.

A Silent Expiration (Borrowed Emotions from a Ringmasters Perspective)
Cover the mirrors
Open the windows
Let the mourners in
Through the front door.
Gather around a wooden box
To witness an act
Played by a dead corpse
A tear here and a tear there
Enough to fill a bowl
To water the parched air.
Life is just a circular affair
Never eternal
But not the end.

Wavered Paths
We pause, replay
No words to say
The light is no longer shinning
Keep up, no doubt
We keep running away
No destination comes to play.
Create, don’t stop
There always is another way
Reach for the line
Don’t let go
Let others dissipate.

A Dream Game (Poem)
Dreams of uncertainty
Light up the unsuspecting mind
Floating through the abyss
Needing to be fed by the void inside.
Forming a strange pattern
The illusion once affixed
Veers through the twisted labyrinth
Setting a stage for the hopeful to fall all over.
The heat felt is roused
By this fleeting moment
Mistaking it to be existent
Till it plunges us into a...

A Crimson Trap
The bright red dress
Fits perfectly with
The blood soaked wine
On the cherry red table
Like a perfectly tied bow
It comes together
To form a union
Unique to the wearer
Standing in stillness
A melting pleasure emerges
As the sun stares down
With a perverted gaze
Setting this crimson
Tinted world
Ablaze once more.

A Warm Miracle
A passionate embrace
A radiant presence
Seem to swell up
This frigid hell
The apricity felt
covers this cold void
Conceived by
the sweet grip of mortality.
Ephemeral pleasures desired
stands to succumb to sanity
as more welcome this need
for a warm miracle.

A Phoenix Reborn
Orange skies reflect
A beautiful Constance
Deepening as the round ball
Sinks deeper and deeper into the blue ocean
Like an enigmatic phenomena
It changes colors
Creating an eclipse
With latent desires to feel alive again
The sound of sirens blare
Overtaking this beautiful silence
Forging a woeful existence
Unsure of the light absent in its midst

Rewind
If I could go back in time
To the day we met,
Would I rewind it so,
That we would never meet?
Would that truly make
A difference in how I feel
Would I regret not experiencing
My life with you
Every moment felt like
A drop in the ocean
Beautiful and pure
Mixing with the waves
That comes crashing
Into the shore.
The wind feels different
Now...

Burning Warmth
A match lit
Makes its presence known
By both its burning light
And the sound it emulates
This burning presence
Creates a kind of warmth
That keeps growing
Till the wind blows it
All to smoke

Beauty Sleep
The squares on the floor are forming a box
Trapping me in with no door.
I feel the water gushing in
Rising, drowning me from within
I see no way out
Just a voice, I hear, calling me from the other side
It grows louder and LOUDER
Until I see a small crack on the wall
Asking me to hold on
Just for a little longer.
The diming light now grows bright...

A Running Notion
Thoughts running through my mind
Nitpicking every word passing by
Not sure if it's worth considering
But I'm trying.
Not everything is perfect
No one is perfect.
Everyone is just trying to play a game of life.
Missing pieces now seem hard to remember
All those old memories have lost its humour.
No point in going way back when.
Not sure if it's worth consider...

A Frozen Warmth
Green and tall like a tree
I saw a stranger
Waiting for me
His eyes glowed
A fiery ember
So fierce yet slowed
By a timeless slumber.
He moved across the room
Step by step he made his move
Like a man who was trapped in a tomb
He reached out his hands
To clasp the lacking warmth he desired
Only to feel an icy embrace of the unknown.

Inception.
A walk through history
A change in the air
The colours fade
Creating a saturated affair
The clouds overhead boom
Preparing us for the oncoming slaughter
Between heaven and hell
The world stands still
Praying for a swift victory
Of whomever might be listening.
The roars sounded
Feels like ecstasy
To the onlookers
Who know their time is near
As the colours dissolve
To a...

Phantasm
Splitting doors and crashing walls
Create a path to a place that few can venture to
Heavenly hosts emerge
Carrying red pillows to welcome a new life.
The mood is set
People and nymphs gather
With nature singing and praising
The day goes on
Marshmallow clouds fill the sky
Forging a bond between the eternal plains
The fields and the doors merge
Leaving the ...

Fading dreams
Time is unfolding,
The colours that seem dead come alive.
The masks are fading,
Creating a void deep inside.
The regrets that stem
From the mistakes we made
Comes to taunt us
As the music starts to fade.
Slowly, fear is taking over.
Like a scarf, it wraps itself,
Around the chaos,
That is about to unfold.
The sky is filled with solemn desire
An...

A new normal
Heading towards an opening.
A subtle emphasis on what is waiting,
On the other side, there is no space
Just time eating time.
A war awakens the hearts
Of those who choose to fight
For a home that may already be lost
The end seems bleak to some
But beautiful to others
As they try to find a new normal
In a forgotten world.

Circle of Life
The Circle of life
Is like a spiral
Ever so constant and round
Each spiral
Is like a colorful gem
Different and unique
Like the person who possesses it
They mingle and move on
Like a butterfly on a flower
Never to come across the other again.

Dead Silence
Down by this long winding road
Into the abyss, we follow
Day and night seem to merge
They follow no pattern.
The howling moon above appears
Guiding the lost souls,
To a path unknown
Whispering secrets we know.
The shrieking lights yearn for comfort,
As we leave footprints on barren lands.
Bleeding desires cannot censor the nakedness
Of our melting b...

A Lonely Night
Cold air seems to seep in through the windows
As night sets in
The world is asleep
Remaining undisturbed to the silent party that plays overhead
The street seems deserted
Waiting for life to take over
Just spots of white light are visible
Guiding the invisible
The chains are layered with dangling stones
As the leaves start to sway
The wind is cool ...

Beautiful Scars!
The sky changes colour
As the beads of mystery roll
Creating a fiery ember
The scars seen in the sky
Mark a tainted glow
Bringing life to the world below
The light unveils a halo
Flawed by the pain
Tattooed in the soul
The stars overhead align
Cloaking these scars
Rendering everything beautiful again.

Early Morning Blues
Curled up on my bed
A cup of coffee in my hand
I look out of the window
To see the sun set
What a day it has been?
Early morning blues
With a lackluster sound
Buzzing through the house
Like a lifeless corpse
Trying to get by.
A yearning for perfection
Leads to a sort of chaos
Between the soul and the mind
Unsure of where it stands.
We a...

Home.
Hands shake,
As the feeling of fear starts to take its course
A tired mind leads to empty thoughts
And emotions that don’t exist anymore
Tears unconsciously roll down
Creating puddles where you stand
Drying up eventually
As if it didn’t exist.
There is no reprieve for someone who falls
Into the emotional rabbit hole
That has no way out
There is just ...
