Realism falls short of reality. It shrinks it, attenuates it, falsifies it; it does not take into account our basic truths and our fundamental obsessions: love, death, astonishment. It presents man in a reduced and estranged perspective. Truth is in our dreams, in the imagination.-Eugène Ionesco Continue reading Real Deal
Dreary dreams demonized in details, an early warning echoes Strayed communications, the bilious environment, time defeats all Perished once, they come back in dreams, even shapes the future Dragging the suffered time once again, like a heavy shackle wound around reality One looks at the depths, some stare at the skies, unaware of what lies within Like lost traveler asking for directions; but unaware are … Continue reading Time Before Nothingness
On the deserted land, barren and shamed, hoping for the return of pulsation Ears on the ground sometimes, looking East, days collapse on the West’s tired cradle Hopeful of the night, fewer stars, a confused and tired soul wishes a clearer sky Dense consciousness, lonelier stillness, closed eyes and prayers in the heart Waiting to reconnect, retrace the paths forgotten over time, historical blunders Passages … Continue reading Pitter-patter
When Time springs to life and I feel that I exist, in a reality still preserved It’s rarely true when life is not defined by common approvals, only if I trust their agreement An escape from the common desires, not tired anymore from the compulsory contracts Constructing a dwelling out of pure freedom where I can dream Suffering from perceptions is not my deal, and … Continue reading Rare Moments
How long have you known the present, when it’s fleeting nature takes it elsewhere Search through your memories, even at the backyards of abandoned time Honestly, the present is reduced to other particles, dwells in another dimension Yet you want to grasp it, but escapes magically like ethereal dust Wounding the consciousness around a fundamentally unstable reality is insanity Truth has a cultural tone, disguised … Continue reading What Really Exists
Daunting dawn fiery as Hell, trembling particles swept away by furious winds Demure darkness swallowed by a vortex, dreams visited fiendish territories Deepening deception of time, torturing the soul with fiery rage Nude trees, evaporating waters, the bald Earth devoid of feelings Quarreling voices destabilize abodes, wilted will of defeated souls Sputtering and flickering candles, elongated shadows crawling across salty walls Sweltering warnings, refracted rage, … Continue reading Suffocating
If there were no movements would you have found your stability Imaginations never liked stagnating and getting muddled with indistinct thoughts Significant moments of feeling the pulse of change; consciousness learns to balance the momentum Even in stillness, the void expands, responding to the cosmic rhythm Feels like an unknown existence while connecting to the distant hum Even before time existed and nothing was conceived, … Continue reading Off Balance
A strange feeling sweeps my consciousness towards another reality Feels alien here, the silence that I absorb makes me realize a truth O Heaven! It’s been eons that I have distanced myself, for my experiences were like a mirage Staring at the time I had spent, now they appear rare, like a mirage Perspectives of fractured dimensions, the sins of differences between me and my … Continue reading Fractured Dimensions
That strong urge to be invisible and imagine that you are invincible, even if the darkness looks menacing Waiting to be transported to another realm, where time doesn’t flinch and I can find the magical door No one following my footsteps or even desiring to understand me; it’s a world of aberrant contradictions I decided to choose my path, another trajectory where time circumnavigates the … Continue reading Wish To Be Invisible
Esoteric beginnings like a blissful blossom, Consciousness bloomed, unimaginable calmness Paradisical radiance through the paradoxes of reality upon which life pulsates Somewhere the ambivalence created a pantheon, now, the forgotten primordial messages In the midst of a strong transformation, but unfortunately, the unfirm foundations crumble, the fragile reality exposed Naysayers predict the downfall, from a conflicting conservatism, of consciousness devoid of conscience An abode desecrated, … Continue reading Halcyon Days
