Phoenix Unchained
No more memories, please—
Better sweet amnesia or daring explorations.
No room for sighs,
Only the release of copious tears—
Pearls, shimmering yet worthless,
Spilled where memories fade into oblivion.
Here, I rise—The Phoenix,
Spreading my blazing wings of freedom,
Soaring, spanning the boundless sky,
Beyond where the pinnacles of man's craft crumble,
Into realms untouched, where only dreams dare to dwell.

Blooms of Grace
Cheer up, as always,
For I know this path well—
Treading the rough side,
Where my bleeding feet bloom,
Blossoming red, red roses of love.
Once, the Great Lord walked this way,
Shedding His life’s blood—the Savior Divine.
So I embrace the thorns,
Meditate on pain,
And find in its depths a peace profound.
Through trials, love takes root,
Through suffering, grace shines bright.
For every thorn that wounds today
Shall bloom into joy—eternal and pure.

The Orchard of Dreams
To Gentle Sea
Ai edited
For years, I toiled on barren land,
Turning dry woods into a garden grand.
Like a rigid army, the trees once stood,
Blocking light, choking the good.
No birds sang, no bees would hum,
No blossoms called, no fruits would come.
I watched in silence, plain to see
A lifeless grove, no harmony.
So with steady hands and heart so bold,
I cleared the roots, both young and old.
I dug, I toiled, through sweat and strain,
Striking hard through dust and rain.
At last, the roots gave way below,
And light could touch new life to grow.
With care, I chose each precious seed,
Dreaming of the fruit they'd breed.
I mapped my orchard, rich and rare,
Planted roots with tender care.
Seed by seed, with love they grew,
Blossoms bright in golden hue.
Now I stand with joy and grace,
Baskets full, a heart in place.
O wanderers, come, taste and see,
A harvest rich, a gift from me!-
"Mirage of Longing"
You are but a beautiful lie,
All my idle hours' fantasies,
Afternoon siesta’s opaque memory,
Where death devoured
draining domestic marathons.
You are a mirage,
My dead pathways,
Desert’s longing lust.
To catch you, I used to run—
Yet reached nowhere.
Still, as I had an aim,
I resumed the errands
That otherwise might have paused, lost!
But here—
I wake up, no more beautiful lies,
Nor ugly,
No pursuit of mirages,
No deadly disguise.
Instead, I walk forward, steady and free,
For dawn now rises, bright within me.

Scorn is the vilest of all,
From foes who delight in your fall.
Beware of their bite,
So sneaky, not slight—
A black mamba’s sting is but small

Solitude, Not Loneliness
I prefer solitude,
Where loneliness kills.
Frustrated by the countless chains
That domestic life thrusts upon me.
I crave a bond that truly matters,
For loneliness wounds,
While solitude redeems.
Don’t be late to bind our souls—
I’ll teach you the art of solitude,
Together.
The ultimate panacea,
Where time stands still.

A Love to Hold On To
To Deep
I want something to hold on to,
Not to let my heart wither,
I need a love both fierce and tender,
To keep the fire within from fading.
Not that he must always stay,
For time has taught me well—
Familiarity can breed contempt.
But I do long for a day, a date,
To share the best of us.
I feel him in the air around me,
His touch lingering like a whisper.
I trace the warmth of his hairy chest,
My teddy through the lonely nights.
In my darkest hours, I seek his palms,
Solace given, comfort received.
And when the time for slumber calls,
Let me drift into eternity—
Together.
With no demands, no returns.

Ode to Wilde
Wild is but a name you bear,
Yet how can I cease to care?
Oscar, you deserve your due—
Prince of dreams, so bright, so true.
The selfish giant hears the cry,
While Jesus bleeds, the heavens sigh.
A child so pure, yet bound by pain,
Lost in deserts, none to blame.
Man treads forth to meet his fate,
Where icebergs melt, yet hearts still wait.
How can I unlove you, Wilde?
Your Happy Prince, once golden, mild.
The giant towers, cold and grown,
Yet still, the world must weep and moan.
