  • Dismal Twilight

    Dismal Twilight

    Dismal twilight and ethereal lies flowed over the weeping rain.
    Fading shadows of a forsaken past were bleeding through their black veils.
    Transcendent whispers floated untamed and elusive at the sight of the uncertainty.
    Darkness and deceit entwined under the gloomy clouds of a reckless storm.
    In the realm of illusions and reality, secrets lingered as silent screams.
    Longings and memories were softly doomed as nothing could have rescued them.
    The moon’s embrace eclipsed brilliant glowing stars.
    Whenever in celestial obscurity, shadows and radiance interlaced.
    Shimmering lights adorned the night sky, while hushed truths were hidden beneath the veil of deception.
    Slowly, the gloomy dead of night descended over every garden of sparkles and flowers, fiercely shattering everything into dust.
    The absolute silent horror reigned in the realm of oblivion and nothingness.
    And nothing could have been spared from the relentless grasp of eternal silence.

  • Dismal Solitude

    Dismal Solitude

    Dismal solitude in a cold and misty atmosphere
    In a midnight of ghastly lights
    Silent sensations of a paralyzing fear
    Blind doors to the unknown
    Once the future is encapsulated in the past
    Longings appeared as sighs of hopeful dreams
    Narration of nothingness under the disguise of a show
    Vanity and idleness would have been escapism
    Shadows of lost memories and imagination
    Gloomy rooms with no views under a thatched roof
    Hidden stars flaming in a deserted silence
    Heaviness overwhelmed like anxiety
    In a terrible slumber of the reason
    Blind lies were fueled by lamps of deception
    Motionless and pallid lights reflected in broken mirrors
    A burning madness without any merriment
    Endless bitterness of formless shadows
    A surreal decay of fragile impermanence
    Chaotic unconsciousness drowned in the mystery
    Absolutism and silence were defeated in a storm of emphases
    An ethereal delight and wisdom hid many transcendental secrets
    The radiant luster of a shadow drowned in tears
    Hopes and fears were invisible phantoms of chased dreams
    Madness crawled into a solitary storm
    Mysteries and dust of sorrow spoilt in the dimness of the night
    Desolation and decay sparkled over the doomed and aimless wandering
    Gloomy and dreary domains of melancholy
    Where memories fall into abandonment and anguish
    Absurdities and forgotten alienations ghastly resurfaced from unhallowed slumbers
    Disquietudes and solemn passions departed from eternal longings
    Concealed perceptions of indefinite shadows faded into darkness
    A desolate gloom sunk in an iced dreariness
    The imagination of shadowy fancies swallowed hopes and dreams
    Oppressive clouds hung in a dark and dull evening sky
    Dreariness and melancholy pervaded the gloom of the night
    The iciness of thoughts and hideous imagination were invading the contemplation
    No sublimity was left in the insoluble mysteries
    Ghastly shadows annihilated sorrowful impressions
    Decayed dreams and mystic leaves of black rose flowers became sorrow and stern
    Pervading everything and making gloomy every solace of minds
    An oppressive stupor disappeared in the midst of dread
    An apathy of senses faded in the darkness
    Phantasmagoric lusters of lost longings fled to reveries and shadows
    Mystic fantasias sporadically emerged in the thoughts’ dominion
    The delight of silent destinies was agitated by oppressive secrets
    Sparkling pearls of wisdom and fantastic impressions pervaded the intense darkness
    The beauty and nightmare of a tempestuous and gloomy night faded in the infinite darkness
    And the fearless irreverence of obliviousness swallowed every hope and dream
    Leaving a ghastly emptiness in the endless chaos of the universe.

  • Dark Nightmares

    Dark Nightmares

    Dark nightmares of morning glow
    They were rising like a gentle breeze
    Like heavy clouds begun to wander
    Across the infinite horizon of my sight
    The pleasant summer nights faded from my memories
    Till the moon came gently down and my eyes gazed a far candle
    In a dark chamber of grey stones
    Remembering the sunny weather of the past years
    I never ceased to build my castle
    Writing down broken notes

    Dark nightmares
    As all the visions from a distant past are gone
    And now my nightmares are glued with pains
    When memories become dark, the whole world disappears
    Cold dreams are like the frosty winter wind
    In time I must flee, and my voice becomes true
    As long as I’m alive and anguish pricks my heart
    I live in a dim silence
    A lotus grazes my imagination
    Still lost within myself

    Dark nightmares of my senses’ slumber
    The long loneliness of my heart
    Moments lost in the world
    Like shadows of a dream
    Not a breath in my own mind
    Thoughts belonging to the labyrinth of my soul
    Far in the mist
    Lying deep inside of myself
    My wishes do bother me
    Every time I glimpse the pain in my heart

    Dark nightmares drag me to the infinite abyss of despair
    So dismal and cold is my soul that it became dead
    I’ve grown so restless in sorrow
    While nothing in my life occurs but silent dreams
    The sky is only a cold essence
    And I am forever lonely
    I walked through the darkness with a blue wind hitting me
    Like tiny daggers slashing my skin
    When a hasty storm broke the clouds into dust
    Hushed by a mournful silence, I embraced my everlasting grief.

    Dark nightmares and illusions
    They came and shed darkness
    While each memory bent my emotions
    A swarthy shudder whispered unrevealed secrets
    A sea of fire emerged at the sound of my tears
    Madness and dismay became my consolation and comfort
    Fleeing from an insane lodging
    In a fleeting moment where fragments of my soul were scattered in the cold gusts of indifference
    Buying busy weeping my broken dreams
    When the shadows of the clouds cast a spell on me.

  • The Unique And Infinite Shadow Of My Mind

    The Unique And Infinite Shadow Of My Mind

    The unique and infinite shadow of my mind
    Whilst the beauty is flowing in my dreams
    Someday I loved every single thing in each season
    Of which, like this, in this moment.
    For a while, my thoughts have lost all beauty
    As are still one more time so lovely to the beholder
    I love so much to be happy with beautiful visions
    As ideas and words are always to be heard
    Love,
    It might be only a delightful and phantasmagorical
    Nothing can go through my mind before night
    Every day is a picture of the love for my life
    And at first, every metamorphosis should be discovered in a marvel
    At the edges of time
    In the Universe, every tremendous conquest is a journey bound to eternity
    A year becomes a month, a month a day and a day an hour

    The unique and infinite shadow of my mind
    Feeling the utopia while nightmares resurface
    Where I become my own muse with magical powers
    To transform my life, my soul and my endless visions
    Every night I surrender to the tides of oblivion and silence
    Everything is in deep slumber because the storm cannot appear
    Trying to build a mere idea that cannot be found
    Daring to live pretending that everything is love
    When wishes would embrace being born in an idyllic world
    In a manifestation of life and death
    Once all the hopes disappear in an obscene dismal
    Some lives after existence resurface in an eternal bliss
    Lasting forever
    For love only grasp some hearts
    Every free thought enjoys only a limited dash

    The unique and infinite shadow of my mind is nature
    I see the wonder and the worlds in the firmament
    Being the Universe an outstanding creation made of beauty and mystery,
    darkness and light, endless unknown and limited knowledge
    An ancient mystery without days and nights
    My heart discovered poetry in my dreams
    Loving, day by day
    The facade had faded, and names I knew became obscure
    A noteworthy moment in life
    When dates are removed from the time
    And just the shadows are heard, and the day evolves into death
    The time departed from life
    A newly created fantasy left the mind without delight
    Fighting the loss and death
    Although everything became written
    Not a single certitude is destined to return
    And it lies in the profundity of despair and thoughtlessness
    The blades of my thoughts cut my soul into pieces
    And bleeding, I stand helpless.

  • A Dismal Feast

    A Dismal Feast

    A Dismal Feast

    The insane dismay of the veiled truth
    When everything is shattering under the pressure of the infamous time
    None can claim a beloved treasure
    Except for the cathartic destruction of material essence
    A dismal feast of desires and intuitions
    Slowly, enduring anguish penetrates the wandering souls
    A sublime soft pain tears every spirit into infinite and eternal fragments
    In a perpetual motion that invariably affects the universal peace
    A metaphorical lullaby of bliss and pain awakes all the luminaries
    Inducing an ecstatic joy and an immortal stillness of the unconsciousness.
