At the foot of Japan’s iconic mountain, this poem uncovers the tragic, quiet tales hidden among the dense trees. With reverence for both life and death, it tries to paint a picture of a place where the natural world and human despair converge, and where the forest itself ho...

Spaceminded
I’ve drifted in space,
In endless, boundless darkness,
Escaping the allure of evil.
Where sound fades away,
yet voices still whisper,
Silent screams echoing in the cold solitude,
Invisible to all, no matter how present I am,
Like a symphony played in reverse or a piece of art unnoticed,
Where time seems to crawl in slow motion,
Adrift in a single, unchanging direct...

The 7 Valley
the 7 valley of life the first is the flower of lily it beauty that surrounds it
the lily of the meadow is the grace and beauty through the decade shown in the hill of turmoil and despair
the lily of Meadow has many beautiful things some carved by memory other by earth but flawless in their making and no ruin to be found
the 7 valley of life the second is a forest of dreams made the drea...

The Rollercoaster which we name Bipolar
Up swings
Low swings
Irritable swings
Whenever the bell rings.
Time to change so soon?
Oh thankyou for the gloom
Its not like I needed mental room
I'll just listen to your tune.
Is it time for bed,
Or are you not done yet?
This endless strain of thoughts
Feeling like I'm making a case In front of the courts
Barely awake, but barely conscious?
You'll wish you'd had your bedroom blessed
