A Lover's Doleful Strain

-

As I wove threads of love within my heart,
Alas! With every bond, a stain of sorrow spread, unseen!
They who smiled so dear, then turned foe in a trice,
And oh! 'Twas those to whom I bared my soul,
Who themselves shattered it, this very heart—such is fate!

When the sweet rain of laughter poured, my friend,
Still, a subtle sting lingered in the corner of my eyes.
Faces that darkened even the day's bright light,
My dear foes, they appeared in midnight's memory,
Without warning, bringing pain to these very eyes!
When love transforms to shadow, alas!
I cannot keep them within my mind's embrace!
My heart falters, and my body trembles,
For a hidden smile, behind, alas!
Was like the very sharpness of a blade!

Amidst the lengthening silences' shade,
Some are lost, my friend, forevermore,
Even those who were once by my side!
The more affection grows, the more, alas!
Does sorrow also swell, within this chest's abode,
Leaving no space, however small, empty,
But rather, a deep current of grief flows on.

Like the moon's gentle touch, it began,
What I thought to be devotion, at the outset;
Yet, within that very kindness, with fierce intensity,
Some hearts blazed forth, alas!
Those who awaited with a sword by the wall of smiles –
My very own dear enemies!

Memories etched in your name,
Unforgettable wounds upon my heart!
Within those smiling eyes,
The waves of vengeance roar!
Yet, I still love, my friend!
Even knowing that sorrow, alas!
Will come again to my very soul,
Even knowing that at the mention of those names,
My heart will slowly melt away, alas!

  The Soul forge Chronicles A Journey of the Soul Through Flame, Time, and Truth The Soul forge Chronicles is an epic poetic saga tracing the soul’s journey from divine origin to earthly entrapment and back to transcendence. Set across 5,000 years of human history, myth, and inner evolution, it explores the great questions of existence— Who are we? Why do we suffer? Where is the divine? Through cantos rich in symbolism, philosophy, and spiritual depth, the saga blends ancient wisdom and modern reflection. It draws from all great traditions—Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and beyond—yet speaks with one unified voice: the voice of the soul seeking its Source. Each book is a step in the alchemical transformation of the self: Descent into illusion, ego, and chaos Awakening through trial, remembrance, and fire Return to the eternal light, reborn and refined This is not just poetry—it is a map for the inner traveler, a myth reborn for our age.

The Crimson Sunset

Set in the mythic remnants of Lothric, this fantasy poem explores the soul of a fallen knight mourning lost love and honor. Through a dark fantasy lens akin to Dark Souls, this tale of crimson sunsets, ghostly echoes, and the eternal search for light in despair invites readers into a world of high emotion, shadowy lore, and poetic storytelling. The crimson sunset bleeds across the sky, A warrior's lament, a mournful cry. Lothric's fields, where drakes once soared so high, Now whisper tales of loss as shadows lie. A knight lies fallen, midst the fading light, His diamond tears, a vision in the night. He sees her face, though fading from his sight, Stolen away, by shadows born of blight. No clash of steel, no victory's sweet song, Just echoes of a love that met with wrong. The winged halberds, where they did belong, Now weep for her, where silent tears throng. The endless cycle, a torment to his soul, A broken vow, beyond his heart's control. He seeks the truth, to make h...

Letters of Ash, Seeds of Dawn-Humanitarian Poem

-
  "Letters of Ash, Seeds of Dawn" I. Myths once bore light, now wear iron masks, Invading truths with scripted lies. Where death should close, it now unmasks— A conquest staged for watching eyes. Peace wore war’s robe in silken thread, While warriors wept in silent prayer. The holy watched the hour’s dread, Yet found no justice anywhere. II. Words once rose like dawn to sing, Now fall like dusk, lost in decay. The scholar bends beneath the king, And science kneels where myths still pray. Who writes the war that none have seen? Who laughs at death from golden thrones? While children dream of battle's sheen, And play with steel that splits their bones. III. Trade marries death, and power feeds On hands that build but own no bread. The worker’s sweat is sown in weeds— A harvest lost, a dream long dead. The mother cries, unnamed, unknown, Her voice erased by cannon’s cry. Her lips are dry, her cradle’s stone— Her songs are drowned in smoke-filled sky. IV. Yet still, within th...
