I know
Time will
Sharpen the outlines and boundaries
Decipher forms
Decipher tones
Beyond the indiscernible
And back to my heart
A dot
A line
The tip of a mountain
In poor light
Deliberate collision course
A tragedy yet ethical
My cherished debris
I would name it
“The ever changing ritual”
All over me
Over and over again
Dominating the uneven path
Grim and sharp turns
Bravery to unfold

Of Woe / Migratory Birds

Of Woe
I have given up the word
No more veiled pretense
Oh, the word
Suffocating and meager
And I’m trying to keep
Breathing in heat
Recount the untold
Notion and belief
A Doubted way
Vague outcome
Evolving term
And regrettable measure
The angle will drift
Meaning will heave
Into a wider frame
Of woe
Dwell within the warm curves
- Imperial father figure -
Of woe
Unthinkable, in range, field
Widened out by breathing
Enraging vibration
Of a petrified motif
Given the tone
Given the rhythm
Of woe
My heart
Will carry on
Pondering on the world
The unhidden beauty and
The dark grey heavy air
Οpen the doors
Anything may befall
Be humble and grateful
Humble and grateful
Migratory Birds
I remember
The day I heard
“The raindrops you feel
Are not for real
Neither rainbows are”
And then I broke into a thousand migratory birds
On the ocean
On newfound grounds
On the heady breeze
The firmament!
- Purple
- Fiery red
I’m heading there where, what I’ve been told, can be undone

I hold the Grail
A divining rod
There, in the battlefield
Fragments are hidden
I hold the Grail
A divining rod
Collect them all, I shall
And then accomplished
I’ll re-crumple

An Ivory Heart
05:16
|
|
||
|
Fallen
Perished
Hunger and grief
Leaf by leaf
“The brown remnants”
Wilted on the ground
Wilted on the ground
Dedicated
Upward bound
Tailwind
On half curved edges
Within my branchlike hands
- Scented branchlike hands -
Astounded, I found
An ivory heart
Oh painful hail
Breathtaking heat, unpleasant drought
Wild, infinite rain
Let seasons dissolve me

Every Man
06:10
|
|
||
|
Weary in the head
Though eager to tread
Tightrope for credence
Heaven for hell
Deepening void
Time in reverse will take back
All my efforts
All of my ways
Indifferent crowd
In the middle of nowhere
If I will not save me
Nobody will
Every man for himself
On the whole
- I’ve earned it -
A worn out fragment
Of the truth in me
Hailing from my forehead
Dark or bright

Hidden truth
You, with the riveted eye
Haunted youth
Haunted the mindful
Hidden truth
Nobody worthy
Tangible thread
Intangible the end
•
Oh! I'm trapped
In a wicked web
That imitates your grandeur
A noble waif
Overwhelmed and hungry
Carrying
A riveted eye
