Poetry
Step into the dimly lit corners of my mind, where the veil between reality and nightmare is thin. My poetry delves into the shadows, where fear, longing, and the unknown lurk just beyond the light. Each word is a step deeper into the darkness, a whisper of the unsettling truths that we all know but rarely speak. Here, the ordinary becomes twisted, and the beautiful is tinged with dread. Welcome to a place where the eerie and the profound meet, leaving you with a chill that lingers long after the last line.
PHANTOM TRAGEDY
Don’t trust your path
To the howling, wretched crowd—
In this world, humanity has long been lost.
And I am just a silent ghost.
Here, darkness roams again,
Through tangled, shadowed ways.
In the cold mask of day,
It whispers its sinister monologue.
It sings, it lures,
The heedless, hapless fools,
Who dance in wild frenzy,
Waking the dead from eternal sleep.
Hell’s gates yawn wide,
A devil’s choir rises,
Judgment looms near...
And I am just a silent ghost.
Into the devil’s den,
The howling wretches are led,
To a cryptic, hidden womb...
And I am just a silent ghost.
As crimson shadows loom,
The mad ones march along,
With wide, fear-filled eyes,
Tracing the eternal circle.
And I am just a silent ghost.

***********************************************
My first significant poem draws inspiration from Dante Alighieri's 'Divine Comedy,' a renowned Italian narrative poem.
I penned this poem at the age of eleven.
My journey into writing began at nine with small poems. Discovering my grandmother's typewriter spurred me to write fairy tales, later evolving into songwriting and musical compositions.
Today, I'm versatile, writing short stories, poems, novels, screenplays, and more. With a wealth of writing experience, I carry a vast creative repertoire.
