A Japanese Tanka Written in Response to Pensive Solitude on The Eve of This NightAn outcast this night,
I mournfully sigh with gloom:
but, I make war, fight!
to rebel against the doom,
and emptiness of my room.

still lifei keep
a teacup with a cracked rim—
it doesn’t hold warmth for long
but i drink from it anyway.
the hallway light flickers
like it’s unsure
if it wants to stay on.
some nights,
i understand.
there’s a coat in the closet
that no one wears,
but i leave it hanging.
the walls don’t echo
when i speak softly.
so i don’t.
not anymore.
i fold myself into
the quiet corners...

A Chained WolfI stand here, cursed.
Soughted upon a brim of hope.
Yet darkness be it me for swallows.
My site is blinded by my blood red soul.
My hands are numb by the sharpness of my beastly nature.
The wildly hairs, knitted to my’th skin.
My ivory gates, beckoned me to crimson devour.
I..
I am forever doom, by...

When you having bad dayWhen the world hates you
It's such a lonely place
Crawling out of bed each day
Forgotten in each and every way
Grasping at straws to build nest
Every minute is a torturing test
Blow away by unkindness
Held together buy a fine web
Of sorrow and unhappiness
Each word thrown your way
Cut like a knife through softened clay
Leaving a scar and empty space
Not...

The Unhoused Street Musician Of BudapestWhenever I spot
red-bearded Origin,
the unhoused street musician
of Budapest who asks for a donation,
not making a protest with a grin;
don't be amazed if I'm the first
to drop coins in his empty cup:
does anybody, not in a rush, ever stop
and give him some attention?
Does he ever feel humiliation?
He's too young to...

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...
