Antisonnet 2
(Music: Prelude 3 - Dustin O'Halloran)
Imagining
you and me
in reverse of a story
too humanely sad
to be retold
to be remembered
on mornings when the sun shines
through the lowered blinds
left just a little open
to not forget a shadow
in our darkness blinded
by dreams dramatically played out
in words and silences
found at the edge of here and now
a sto...

Just another...
(Music: An Ending, a Beginning - Dustin O'Halloran)
Starting anew
with hopes for future
inexistent
walking on ashes of clouds
falling through inverted skies
once glimpsed
or never
lost
for those eyes never looked up
seeking the pebbles of forgiveness
to not depart in dreamlike waves
of dusty memories
before you even knew
that light was shining through
...

Underreal
(Music: Fate of the Fallen - Eternal Eclipse)
Not more than a drop
of time
in a dessert of delusional hope
for endless movement
of now
in a filled-up mind of transposed regret
that all will end
and maybe today
its time to spare a breath
so that pain does not abound
in step marks of someone's
maddening certainty
that there is a way
a path going backwards
...Monday 14th August 2023 6:08 pm
The score
(Music: To speak of solitude - Brambles)
A stroke of hope
across pages of stitched-together scores
of notes too dark
to come to terms with a solution
you searched across pieces of verse
torn apart to dissolute
the abstract hue of purpose
lost to a rhythm
superimposed to the hum of life
backtracking
towards a point of no return
reclaiming the joys of expectation
...Wednesday 9th August 2023 6:16 am
Endgame
(Music: Endgame - Alice In Winter)
A wave of silenced thoughts
with no hard feelings
but just fear
that emptiness will turn out full
overflowing into sandy leftovers
of a love never happened
but willed too much
for hope on the go
forgotten in transit
between eyes that did not meet
bridged by a desire imagined to be mirrored
when it only sank to transience
of...

Untitled 6
(music: "Burned letters" - Johannes Bornlöf)
Step into existence
one scared thought at a time
picking vanities to bear with
one uncovered self-deception at a time
living the present to the rhythm of moments pained through
like melodies played out with a passion wavering anew
earning to trespass the emptiness of fear
towards a bright side so seemingly clear
aligned to hor...

Forgotten
(Music: Le rêve d'une note - RIOPY)
It's not a loss of maybe
this no purportedly side-tracked
by truths inherent but disguised
to words half-spoken
shaded
by that will not to lose
some chances alien to faults
catching on freedoms
overburdened
by pasts built into futures overcome
imagined to be empty of constraint
with maybes pinging off each other
and no's pu...

Today
(Music: Nagorno Mist - Vusal Zeinalov)
let me go
into a nothingness
staged out
like a passing thought
in a mind rushing to express
a solitude
scaled up
to an altitude
Icarian
trying to gaze
at the shine of that peak
unreachable
lost to the platitudes
of today
and maybe tomorrow
lost to perfection found in trash bins
and madness imagined
but mi...

For the unnamed 3
pages turned unwillingly
in books you never read
but just keep looking through
like a painter lost in colour
living one's art alone
in spaces that can't reflect
the greyness of your stillness
but just the lines of your face
covered in doodles
that someone drew while waiting
for moments to fall
like dust after rain
onto a past too t...

Alone
(Music: Nocturne in Paris - Tony Anderson)
Waiting for mirrors to reflect
in absence of light
I feel so devoid of anything human
how come time just moves on
not waiting for moments to moment along
shall I be sorry for being there for you
while time just moves on
moment by moment
alone
while people just live on
moment by moment
along
waiting for darkness to s...

For the unnamed 2
(Music: Sacrifice - Steve Jablonsky)
The mystery of pain
revealed
in loss of misery...
a walled-up mind
at crossroads inexistent
alive
but senseless
catching possibilities
on notes played out by others
frozen to meaning
a speechless awe abounded
in drops of fear lined up
to serve
a purpose known
but half-forgetten
while you’re still alive
in the ...

Anti-sonnet 1
(Music: "Reprise" - Marcelo Zarvos, Peter Vronsky)
No, I do not feel you close
nor do I think I should
a hope not there to be, for hope abounded always
in knowledge that felt almost fatelike
a hope for you
a you I’ll meet the right time
a you I’ll meet and feel like I knew that moment
since I imagined it too many times
in all its possible dimensions
of being just a ...
Thursday 30th March 2023 9:21 pm
For the unnamed
Expression unconstrained
you once called style
‘cause that was all you truly had
an illusory life always felt for
trespassing being
encroaching onto otherness
in all its expansive power of constraints forgotten
and yet.. you never killed
nor hurt
nor enslaved
you only killed your dreams for theirs
a liberator
misunderstood
but not forgotten
is this what...

Ephemeral
(Music: "Éphémère" - Tony Anderson)
Break me
in waves of creeping silence
for my tortured mind to rest
so I can feel
what a dance of words unspoken is like
in moves glimpsed over
from a future
or a past
unknown
for it is this that breaks through sanity
a moment too real
in its dreadful pain of knowing
that it will be gone
and will undo
me
in you...

Stranger
Music - "Revelations" - Tristan Barton
I’ll be your Mona Lisa of intention
scattered across a thousand guesses
one image of unshattered
plain
serenity
appeared in platitudes misspoke
so silent
an enigma to uncover
a smile not there for you
but for a time
long gone
the portrait of a present lost
in symbols misremembered
a sight too effortlessly
reconned
...Saturday 25th March 2023 8:50 am
System error
Music: "One side of me" - Sebastian Zawadzki
Do you get sold on others
trying to pitch liberation
in a moment of ecstasy
portrayed
as bliss
when knowing not
what choice is
do you get sold on yourself
trying to pitch serfhood
in a moment of ecstasy
forgotten too soon
when remembering is
what loss can not express
an emptiness
constructing meaning
...Sunday 19th March 2023 2:16 pm
Rictus
Music: "Return 2" - Max Richter
Fear -
that something called out in front of you
the day before the day
you called yourself desperate
in trying
to find
the voice
for all the silent screams
you gave away in front of mirrors
since you never cry alone
and you will always be there
for yourself
the perfect reflection
of a rictus
one only you have seen on s...
Thursday 16th March 2023 6:09 pm
Missed call
Music: "Dream 1" - Max Richter
If there is anything I ask of you
its silence
one understanding absence of intention
and maybe two more thoughts you’d keep
for a future not ours
just one question there forever longing
which we both buried
in the joys of chords stricken
by the emergence
of a nothingness
so complex in its antithesis of what two could be
we'd cry ...

Walking dead
(music: "Small measure of peace" - Hans Zimmer)
Uncertainty of pain
Is this what you call boredom?
A nagging
circling
feeling
of being there for no one
but being
A banality of existence paused wilfully?
Is this how you call life controlled?
All that you can allow yourself to act on –
a decreation of your "I" –
accepting death
preathumously
in summoni...

Expected
(music: "Together we will live forever" - Clint Mansell)
Night falls like your words
So expected
Devoid
A mystery unveiling fears of being just another shadow
Uncast
in an alchemic mix
of the purportedly eternal
blindness.
Embrace me like a dream
So expected
Detached
A hope unveiling mysteries of being
Or just another page turned
in your calendar ...
Monday 13th March 2023 8:29 pm
Betrayal
(music: "Hold this place" - Alice In Winter)
A feeling so withhold
Just passing
Or not
Returning
In circles repeated
Soo many times
You forgot it’s a wheel
One that drives you into that nowhere you can't see
Cause it drives you
A driver blind
But not as much as you feel
A something you know too well
For custom, it turned out in that space of yours
Where al...

One for another
(music: "Internal Flight" - Estas Tonne)
Following all sought for
You let go
Of pain
As you do the grip of a chord
Mastering agony as just another song
In rhythms of backward clocks
You let go of the moments
leaping into your old pond
of tears uncried
letting someone listen
to the sound
of pain
unsought
leaving behind stillness
emersed in yearning sear...

The choice
(music: "Dream 3"- Max Richter)
How shall I empty
This present full of tears behold
One carried along
For too long
Torn sideways by delusion and pain
One too full
Of senseless searches
for meaning and justice
cause pain cannot be felt
Alone
Just like beauty cannot be felt
Together
And death cannot be accepted
By anyone who shared
Them both.
Dea...

Sonnet to absence
(music: "Absence" - by Juliano)
Believe
That nothingness will hold you
And cherish you
Like no one ever could or would
will let you be
everything a random choice would ever deem to be
Just nothing
Just present
Earning
To continue
Without pretence
For all the other
Without despise
For all the other
In an all-encompassing being of being
Squared to the capacity
Of uncertainties ...

Lossless
(music: "How did it happen"- Tom Holding)
Don’t let me go
Away in singlehood unfounded
For I trusted too long
A single word
So pointed in its centredness
It's lost
in all the vanity of averageness
Unrecognized
To the most simple of the truths
For I know
In hopes ungrounded
That that away
too lost in misted lows
Is just an absence of tomorrow
A loss...
Friday 10th March 2023 9:16 pm
Mishoped
(music "Interstellar" - by Hans Zimmer)
One word won't let the sadness of your silence
slip by another time
just whisper closely once again through breaths skipped one after another
that nothing can be easy if not tried
you move in steps not taken
dreamt through instants merged into those others
in wishes bold but also thoroughly controlled
or not
maybe just raged out in...

Untitled 5
(music: "A model of the universe" - by Jóhann Jóhannsson)
What do you think you understand of pain
When you can understand it?
Not when your mind bounces in leaps towards the hells of hell
in nothingness
but understanding how you got there?
Seeing the path to nowhere
Freefalling
While desperately trying to cling to any reminder of just being human
But failing
And tr...

Untitled 4
(music: "A model of the universe" - by Johan Johansson)
A blank page is full in its modesty of unreflection
Emptiness though meant to be grasped
Is just an error lost to transition
To the observer of time
To the onlooker of dust
To the catcher of thoughts
Forgotten in absence
Mistaken in loss
Present in a being so flawless
Just the mad ones can feel it
Yet unshakab...

The one
(music - "I giorni" - by Ludovico Einaudi)
You woke up to a wind of thought whispers
Alone
awake for hope
The one you don’t believe in
But feel
The one you fight
But cannot overcome
The one you hate
As much as you love
And as much as you love yourself
The one you envy the most
The one minding the one
The one oneing
Around oblivion
Around others
Tha...

The classic
(written while listening to "Air on the G string"- by J.S. Bach)
Lead me to beauty
On drops of tears cried for aeons
Towards creation absoluted from the sin of perfection
An art subtly brute
Alive
Cracked from the pressures of being
Enduring change in instants of frailty
Perfected to human
Tuned to the abyss
Of atrocities too quickly forgotten
It's not about beaut...

Galatea
(written while listening to "Una Mattina"- by Ludovico Einaudi)
Just forget me, cause you already did
by inventing me the moment you saw me
Not that face of solid stone cut rigidity
But those eyes
Glancing at you
Uncovering the darkness in your moves
Too realistically hollow
Embracing your well-accepted disappointment
In being
Glancing through others at your own mind
...Friday 10th March 2023 8:38 pm
The name
(music: "So far, so close"- by Olafur Arnalds)
Just tell me a word
so I can write down forever
the name of the rose
that one, plane and hypnotic,
swinging in your mind
from lobe to lobe
like the millionth elephant
swinging in other people’s cobwebs of trust.
Just tell me to go
and never return
cause I will anchor back
and you know it too well;
and don't trust your cobweb
of ...
