The Zii FactorHow do I explain how desolate life feels without you?
The heart craves your presence and the eyes search only for you.
You're gone, maybe not forever,
But this feels like eternity.
How do I tell you how lonely I feel even with a contact list full of names?
People who would speak.
Yet I wait for just one thing,
A long...

A Monster's Final MomentsThe embers of my bitter revenge burn low,
and I'm left with lingering anger and disappointment.
Their hatred for me doesn't approach
the profound self-loathing that plagues my existence.
In a final, desperate plea, I raise my gaze skyward.
Even though I have been shown little compassion in my life,
I implore the divine power of God,
a figure known...

Painted Doll
Earthquakes of bedlam quell
As tectonic plates of emotional instability cease shifting.
The tears of a discarded clown, suspended in animation—
Numbness overtakes.
Masks slip, shattering.
Shards scrape, lacerating apathetic flesh,
Revealing the painted doll underneath.
Remove its colourful costume;
Discover marionette strings embedded within a fraying back. ...

Hidden StarsI did not ask
for the world to stop —
just for the echo to answer.
but silence
grew its own wings.
so i followed
the quiet,
to the river,
to wild grass,
to birds that sing
before dawn.
there,
i learned something
soft and strong:
that I can keep walking
even if the stars stay hidden
Now—
I walk not to be followed,
but to feel the ground
under my feet.
To breathe
and know:

Candlelight Kisses Minichu
Candle tongue stirs the skin within my skin,
Glass red with so many tears —
Romance personified by the melting of wick,
Though shadows drone on walls, a phantasmic tango
These French lips worth reading —
Inside heart highs and lows
Timing
Glimpsing
Stealing
Candle tongue stirs the skin within my skin —
These French lips worth reading,
Stealing

Echoes in the QuietA man stands at the edge of a silent park,
watching the wind carry leaves like forgotten prayers.
No one waves back at the crows.
He wonders if the trees know they’re growing.
The sky is a pale witness—
indifferent to the ache below.
He asks questions without shape,
the kind that drip between hours and vanish.
Once, he thought love might be...

Plagued by Memories - Apr 18, 19how long and sourly sobs the lonely heart
depends on how grave the weight which grieves the tears
pouring from the despondent spirit’s pores.—
a witness, too, will know the surly sort
of rain that beats down harshly on the court
called Sorrow Drive.—sure seems like nothing cheers
up the—nor nothing soothes the—nasty fears
nesting in somber nooks.—no, only art
comes close to...

unloveable sick
you are sick, and I know that
that’s why I will never be mad at you
I can understand and feel your pain perfectly
your brain’s your biggest enemy
always fighting against you
and I could never blame you for that
because you didn’t ask for be what you are
you didn’t asked for being...

Screaming Under WaterIt feels like screaming underwater. Like I opened my chest, and handed you my lungs. You told me they weren't real. Like I am sitting in a room with the windows shut. Everyone smiling, nodding, laughing, while I am on fire, but nobody smells the smoke. I say what I think, and it echoes back...

A dog is not freeA dog is not free
For he has only the Earth
He is chained you see
To this mass of no worth
A dog is not free
If he has not what we do
A roof not a tree
Of true joys he has has few
All this to say
It is never enough
To everything but
The one thing that you love....

Behind That Veiled CurtainJust the curtains veil from your window
Too dark only the omnipotent has great eyes
Vaguely so do I can't see you clearly through
Where soft comfort can't deny you simply lies.
I know how lonely you are inside with so much rage
Languishing in pain secretly others may not truly see
No courage to gain help to rescue like a...

my senryu poetry must suck
silent words cascade
unseen, unheard, fade away—
lonely ink weeps dreams
words fall like dead leaves
no hand stirs to hold their weight—
autumn of the soul
untouched art cries out
silent beauty lost to void—
a poet unseen

Alone in the CrowdNo longer can I say that my heart thrives,
But my love for life still quietly survives,
A flame that burns with fervent might,
Longing for a hand to hold in the night.
I search the eyes of passing strangers,
Hoping to find the spark to warm my embers,
A connection that could set my soul free,
But find only indifference, a...

The DarkDo you feel the darkness?
I don't mean dark thoughts or feelings.
The dark, the stillness, the quiet.
When you stand in the black of night, do you feel it?
It starts as a calm, peaceful silence.
You breathe in deep and exhale into nothing.
The anticipation grows inside you.
Is it something? Is it nothing? Is it emptiness?
Then you realize, it's...
