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?

Satiated Heart



 Satiated Heart

How many nights

have you stayed awake

thinking of me?

How many times

have you touched

my cheeks in dreams

just to feel delight?

You do not know

I still receive

the warmth of your love

each time you pour

your elixir

into my heart.

Perhaps you feel it,

perhaps you do not,

but every single day

I quench my thirst

within your love.
