Heaven’s Hell
The ink within white sheets are blood in their eyes, As wounded I’m not but bleeding to death, As small I am better than now when I’m worse, And livelier world in heavenly curse; Now critical aims in burning abode As footprints no more, no walking in gold But traces of blurry whispering soul Without […]
Inevitably There
I know of a monster Who knows how to write The poetry of beasts The songs of demons In languages unknown to everybody Except myself. Yes, myself. For he is born inside My broken spirit, My empty heart, My chaotic thoughts, As I wandered in the wilderness Of solitude in my bedroom Lusting myself, Kissing […]

That Somebody
Somebody will find you Sitting by the window, Pen at hand, Writing your secrets; Tears in your cheeks, Falling like the raindrops Etching the blur In the glass beside you, Showing glimpses Of the storm outside: Trees screaming for help, Restless winds howling, Knocking at the window, Begging you to let them in, Envious of […]
