The Silence Beyond Eden

The Silence Beyond Eden  The sky, dust-laden, wears the stains of ash, while restless souls gather pearls of eternity, yet their hunger remains unsatiated. Frontiers bleed, dreams crumble into ruins, and nameless children inherit an unknown Eden's ashes. Once, your footsteps consecrated the earth, your breath sanctified the wandering winds. Now, iron and fire dictate the fate of spring. Who taught the flowers to fear their blossoming? Perhaps the giants still play their ancient game, moving kingdoms across the chessboard of the earth, while pawns of flesh and blood vanish beneath their shadows. And you remain silent, beyond the ruins of paradise. Is your silence the final mystery of creation, or the permission through which the giants reign?

Besieged City


 Besieged City 



In the besieged city 
where even open air is rationed,
no one is allowed a full breath-
no blue, no green, 
no gaze toward sun or moon,
hill or river.
All that once adorned the earth,
shaped by your own hands,
is now declared forbidden.
The city has turned a barren desert,
its conscience stripped of fertility.
The self swells into a planet,
mistaking its thought 
for an obedient moon.
Beyond this orbit 
what lies unseen 
grows harsh, exacting.
