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?

Echoes Behind The Cracked Walls


 Echoes Behind the Cracked Walls 

Solitude consorts

with whispered shadows,

reigning in the cold, stale air

of a house long deserted—

forsaken by those

who fled in terror.

The cries of ill-fated souls,

still echoing,

weave through cracked walls

a tapestry of raw anguish.

They bear the silent scorch

of a lover’s fury—

a wound carved

by a lost beloved,

a kin of the house’s keepers,

a self-murderer’s final breath.

One storm-darkened evening,

while music danced

and laughter spilled like wine,

hyenas clawed through

flame and smoke—

even children’s screams

snapped in the fire’s jaws.

The once-bright house

sank into hellfire,

its mirth dissolving

into ash and silence.

Now they linger,

trapped between walls,

waiting—

to unbind themselves

from the haunted housel
