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?

Red Planet Reverie


 Red Planet Reverie


 In night's dream, the surrealist

trespassed a red planet,

watched endoparasitoid

extraterrestrials—

deep in rapt discussion. 

Suddenly, the xenomorph cluster

bolted toward the red-stone hill.

At once, in the void's wild jockey,

aliens pierced the planet's veil—

descended fierce, no herald's cry,

pulse rifles blazing hellfire trails.

 Predatory beasts, with fangs agleam,

recoiled from the electric storm;

cosmic clash where shadows scream,

invaders claim the savage form.

The surrealist, astonished, gapes

at the fierce fray of clashing kin—

two species locked in savage shapes,

pulse-fire scars where shadows spin.

 He cloaks in vanishing jacket's hush,

a phantom weave of ether's sigh,

watches aliens seize the king-predator's crush,

hoist the beast to starlit sky.

They vanish—swallowed by their world's bend,

perhaps to throne it in alien rite.

He muses: the same grim custom trends

on every orb in endless night.
