There

(Music: Time - Hans Zimmer)

pain breaks alone into a depth forgotten
claiming to see things through for what they are
you move from thought to feeling
within a darkness fallen back and onto hopes forged to not last
you're there
to be just for a moment longer
emerging as a warrior of truths retold
not following and followed not
just as a point of ends and no returns
a Sisyphus of wisdom...

A day, one day

(Music: I giorni - Ludovico Einaudi)

A day will come
when paths will cross off distant futures
and silence will tune in
to breaths in sync
with just a word of trusting hope
watching the wind blow moments still
to knowledge of no boundaries between
two lone regrets
in opposition to each other
facing a truth sought for too long
you've crossed a line
erased by sorrow
when both our gaze...

Untitled 7

(Music: Max Richter - On the nature of daylight)

That feeling of watching 

Time lapse into sunsets

Above understanding

But still in a balance

Below the zenith of trust in tomorrow

A calling for hope

To rest down as mist on that morning

When nothing mattered

But presence extending to being

When everything mattered

But sense turning to meaning

Searching for truth

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

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

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

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

(Music: Wind - Brian Crain)

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

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

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 ...

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

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

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

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

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...

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

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

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.

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...

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

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

A blank page is full in its modesty of unreflection

Emptiness though meant to be grasped

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

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

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
