The loss of humanity
12 October 2025
Withered lands
circling pools of blue
They breach through
humans’ hue
repeating blasts overheard
of acts untoward
We forsook
innocence repealed
Laughter pealed
Death revealed
the quaking knees they concealed
dire stances they took
Withered sigh
my bosom empty
as they die
smothered cry
The loss of humanity
burnt under their sky

Hamza Namira - Ay Kalam | حمزة نمرة - أي كلام
Dragon’s life in synthesis
7 September 2025
Follow sage
remedy to rage
subtle stage
blooming age
Just a fluttering ribcage
there to assuage
Results blown
from strategy sown
Child slow grown
life to own
notoriety to hone
to master alone
Serpents’ hiss
growing from abyss
dawning bliss
scale to kiss
Dragon’s life in synthesis
a blade to dismiss

Caela Raye - Crown of Snakes
Alternating consciousness
26 August 2025
You breathed me
a touch of sulphur
weaving through
Pervading
flames of a thousand dragons
senses confusing
Diffusing
my vein opens bright
shining thread
pulse they dread
through the burning light it sheds
as dark, soft it weds
I stir thoughts
Regrets woven through
actions stalled
moves recalled
hounding measures of closures
acid composures
Yesterday
I conquered kingdoms
My breath lit
jawlines’ grit
shores forsaking redemption
fire-bred assumption
I drew you
within my shadows
Tall erect
lines inflect
the courses of your lifetimes
through my soaring rhymes
We bore weight
of lessons to learn
praise to earn
memoirs churn
Alternating consciousness
wiping out distress

Queen of Fire – Ember’s Song
Piercing through the skies
18 April 2025
I cry hard
inconsolable
Memories
of burnt trees
spin webs across my eyelids
Outer world just skids
I remain
within two states held
A prison
unveils me
On my limbs lie tools that weld
heart and mind’s union
I tread slow
across dreams that beat
arrhythmic
to my feet
drunken dancing to repeat
the despair hollow
Tomorrow
I will resume fight
crouching slight
bearing light
Darkness no longer bears fright
I shine through the night
Spirits high
I walk before Gods
Like infant
they feed me
irreducible hopes stretched
thin before my eye
Paper flies
tracing higher spheres
my mind hears
lullabies
Angel singing fears denies
piercing through the skies
Reading of the poem:
Kalandra - The State of the World (Official Music Video)
Winding through the I
31 March 2025
I sing low
promises of more
As I see
what I store
within my shadows I grow
the light of true hope
Remember
our love’s periscope
shows morrows
in pale pink
soft masses of brain’s matter
flowing from mind’s ink
We scatter
Clouds of survival
moving slow
through the skies
A sight of rains meets my eyes
monsoon revival
My mind glows
I am creation
My hands move
through my heart
They draw blue lines to impart
a new Earth so close
I will build
within me tall trees
We don’t fall
to our knees
but in prayers we do quell
thirst of the powers
Beast cowers
Its dark splits my sides
bursts insides
Its cry rides
a rainbow blurring its lie
winding through the I

The Seed – Aurora
They grow in angles
27 March 2025
Hush stay still
the shadows reach out
under skin
deep within
they prepare my final kill
pressure to instil
I am dead
Withering heart beats
Laden lead
it repeats
The flow of mercury heats
its cold outer edge
My death lies
to confuse my spies
I walk low
spirit high
My inner realm reaches sky
perfusing me glow
Ring me bells
seek me canticles
I mouth slow
dark riddles
The ones that chime triangles
they grow in angles
Reading of the poem:
Elyanna - AL SHAM (الشام)
My heart is in peace
18 March 2025
Instil me
the world’s melodies
with calm ease
they hold seas
where blue meets the reddened splash
in blink of eyelash
Distil me
drop after drop bleeds
morrows’ seeds
where heart yields
all the treasures my mind reads
Open sesame
Refill me
my wells are deep pits
where soul sits
my frame fits
another peering through slits
while my outer flits
Infill, me?
I am space debris
inner whirls
outer hurls
Without me there are fragments
my heart is in peace
Reading of the poem:
L. Subramaniam - Harmony of the Hearts
To stop human plight
26 November 2024
Frequencies
Composed melodies
Heart to please
pain to cease
From the ribcage breath to ease
Moments in time freeze
Party shone
fever cap on throne
Mind one’s own
secrets shown
threads from soul to mind slow flown
From rictus, smile hone!
Hidden spate
to expectorate
Frame prostrate
Feelings state
A new world articulate
Body levitate
Cast me sight
Can you see the light?
Our birthright
concealed might
Can you see why we must fight
to stop human plight?

Chandelier - Sia
I paved a way to sweet success
16 August 2024
I walked alone in a wild dream
within darkness shone a bright beam
eyes closed I followed a light stream
a way to another future
My faith restored I took a leap
a giant fall into the deep
edges of me began to seep
into the welcoming haven
My frame went through more than duress
though no fools were left to impress
I paved a way to sweet success
my King, future consort to tame

Sunset india - nitin sawhney - sunset track
O frail ones
14 June 2024
O frail ones
fallen to the flames
so daunting
are their games
you will witness second suns
your future’s inking
O frail ones
feel your inner fields
The scorching
of twin suns
unearths power the mind yields
cosmic unveiling
O frail ones
you will know valleys
as blood runs
thick and cool
while they fall in dark alleys
so wizens the fool
