Nocturnal Epitaph

Or being at a loss — Pandemics, coils of smoke and far-off bombs set the scene in the claustrophobic back garden of my house Persephone is outside, she tickles my nose Eyes level to the screen, dim light mode the birds and the bees Dormant meadows awake to the gentle breaths of Spring Different layers of…

Averno

Canto II — Averno, lead us The rapacious lake A figment conjured up by ancient lore Through thee we come alive Thus Let us Pass The test we’ve been committed to Nobody’s sons, nobody’s daughters We wade in dire waters Will we still sing the hymns of yore? Asterion, the star-crossed Minotaur and…

Averno

Canto I — Averno, wait for us The Bird-less lake A place where bodies are orphans Of pneuma Thus Let us Trespass This world, onto a new one The entrance to the netherworld shall welcome us Ariadne shall weave her thread For us never to get lost Arthur, the poet in a tamarisk…

Madness

Naked, you sail across the troubled waters Of my anguish, Oh Madness! Gracefully hoofing Along the doorways Of my pain Softly touching The bars of my jail Whose keys my mind holds You scratch the walls of my heart You merge sounds and colours from the veil Key of eternal…

Breathe

Author in photo. Photo by author. Breathe Heart’s beating like sea waves Against high cliffs Feel free to be the buzzing bee around my ears My spirit is slowly acclimatising itself to those wet sheets And I’m swimming where icy waters meet Lie me down Allow me to wreathe my…

The Hymens of Silence

He who frets the height shall fall faster than others As he stands on the precipice Tears well upon his face Yet he can’t savour their taste For they hiss and dry up on his withered lips Air embraces and lulls him violently As he flings himself in Satan’s fashion into the ground But…

Rosy Heaven

Inebriated poets are now inconspicuous to a thousand eyes They were once painted in purple, blue and lilacs white Some sample IV poems on a screen Others smudge ink over paper sheets But what they still have in common is that They ejaculate words into the brains The semen and the fertilization of the page One…

Disquieting Musings

Is one afraid of Death? Sleep is elusive and the church bells strike thrice. A marred head is propped up by two pillows making for the perfect sacrificial altar. Take the body and break it and give it to the disciples of the Night. …

Melancholy wears pink velvet
