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 in the Clay


 Echoes in the Clay

Let the dead sleep.

If disturbed, a thousand broken dreams

will rise to tear away the veil,

exposing the grim design—

a script written solely for slaughter,

born from minds sick with paranoia

and poisoned by relentless doubt.

These are the hollow triumphs

cherished by brutal hearts.

Let the dead sleep.

Leave them to their heavy rest,

where they might finally outrun the pain,

the memory of bullet wounds,

and the crushing weight

they bore across the living earth.

Do not exhume the earth.

Do not dig to mock the quiet dust,

or to lay bare the fragile faiths

they once guarded so fiercely,

deep within their chests.
