A visit from Mnemosyne

Stubborn muse crushing the silence,

Ostracizing a poets choice for subsidence.

Rummaging within deeply settled thoughts,

Restoring the pain from a fight long lost.

Yearning for peace in Moira’s cruel world,

But tranquility is nothing but an illusion hurled.

Under the comfort of a memory he cowers,

Tacitly tending to a wounded promise of ‘forever’.

Deadly poison drank at a hidden park of bliss,

Arduous passions trapped in a labyrinthine abyss.

Requiems from a pink flying unicorn dinosaur,

Nestled memory of a silvery moon restored.

Irritating Cheshire re-creating a suspended story plot,

Making the poet think of that tiny green dot.

Macrocosmic tel-pad retention topped with coffee,

Ineffable pancakes and Sapio-sexuality…

Synchronicity ascertained on an abandoned soul tree,

Stellar contingency, and the usual “Stop saying sorry!”, (^__^)

Irrational belief in the numbers 12 and 7,

Never ending shouts to CB in heaven.

Golden snails and metal butterfly wings,

Yellow caterpillars, bicycle springs,

Odes and tragedy, 'camera lens' (a very shameful poetry,)

Undulating reason between reality and fantasy…

Desperately fixing a chaotically structured yet beautiful hair,

Echoing voices: “Don’t even go there!”

Elevated by these thoughts, the poet starts to smile,

Pulling himself away from the world’s guile.

Letting go of the hostility, accepting destiny,

Yet still…. 'twas a blissful tragedy...

Loving Luna as certain things are meant to be loved,

Keeping the emotions, secretly ............

“behind the shadow, the soul... below and up above...

A Blank Verse Poetry

I ran this morning. Gray sky, nothing special. Weather that doesn’t force you to feel anything. Usually, I wander without purpose. Today, something stopped me. Time is a trap. We pretend it’s limited, but it isn’t. So we rush through it—steps, choices, life—until it all blurs. The small things disappear. The smell of earth, the quiet air. Gone. A song got stuck in my head. “I’ll stop the world and melt with you.” Unwanted. Persistent. How did it get in? Maybe fate. Maybe nothing. I don’t believe in destiny, but here I was—stuck in the sound, stuck in a loop. The world paused inside me. I didn’t move. The day went on. Hands trembled—not from connection, but from the weight of existing. Scars on skin—maps of past failures. Nothing clean, nothing clear. I touched a cheek. No softness. Smoke? Habit? Grip loosened—like sanity slipping. Wanting to let go, but afraid of the emptiness that follows. I kissed a cheek. A stupid move. A laugh broke the silence. A glitch. A mistake. Coffee a...

The Slow Death of the Familiar Lie

The 2025 elections just ended. Not with fireworks, not with riots—just the quiet unraveling of yet another chapter in our nation’s long and complicated dance with democracy. There’s something different in the air this time. Something subtle, like the way dusk falls before you even realize the day is gone. You feel it before you name it: a shift. Not seismic, perhaps not even visible to the untrained eye. But there, like a whisper at the edge of a crowded room. People have grown wiser. And no, this isn’t naive optimism. It’s not the kind of blind faith that wears campaign colors and chants slogans. It’s the kind of wisdom that comes from repeated heartbreak—from choosing hope too many times, only to be betrayed by men in suits and smiles. From believing in change only to see it morph into the same old trapo politics dressed in newer fonts. “Pain is a brutal but effective teacher—especially in a country where memory is often the first casualty of every election cycle.” But maybe ...

The Tension Between Hope and Despair

This is w here the light breaks just to drown. Hope isn’t some pretty thing. It’s a slow burn that keeps you awake at night, fooling you with a whisper, “Maybe this time.” It digs its claws in, even when everything screams you’re done. Hope’s the hook you can’t shake, even when it’s tearing you apart from the inside. Despair doesn’t wait politely. It crashes in like a storm, cold and sharp, and it doesn’t care if you’re ready or not. It doesn’t dance with hope—they fight. It’s brutal, ugly. Despair wants to swallow everything whole, leaves no room for mercy. There’s no peace between them. It’s a war you didn’t sign up for, but you live it every damn day—grasping for that fragile flicker, even as the darkness tightens around your throat. You hold hope like a lifeline but feel despair pulling the knot tighter. No balance. No graceful dance. Just a mess of broken promises and shattered dreams. Hope keeps you chasing ghosts; despair waits, patient, knowing it will win. And the worst p...
