    None the Wiser

     The Sun is speaking now in hungry, eldritch tongues... the stars are just right  dust & smoke clearing monolith in the distance, pardon this stumbling  crawling dawn, it breaks my heart & tools daily, yet I slumber soundly  a fool past his...

    • hello dearest Benjamin I love your style I have chills❤️

    • This is a beautiful compilation of imagery in this form

    • To write a whole poem as haikus/senryus is outstanding! that’s a talent, I remember reading some poets composing few verses as haikus/senryus but not long as yours here, and most of your verses can stand alone as it is. I could feel here how nature is angry and speaking to now world where humans played with its rawness, the old genuine days against the new fake days, at the end the writer seemed to be fed up and welcoming the end if this end means the end of all madness, maybe then a new earth will be born.

    • A life well lived…

      Much respect

    Shadows

    Passive words cut deep but they don’t shoutThey whisper in a room where no one doubtsInvisible daggersThey glide and fallSlicing through the silenceSlicing through us all Oh the shadows speak when the lights go dimInvisible projections crawl from withinPluralized but...

    • Powerful work. Tremendous.

    • “We clone our fears
      Copy-paste the pain
      Pouring out the doubts like drops of rain
      Lessened by the scars we quietly bear
      Weakened by the reasoning we wouldn’t dare”

      Powerfully penned, Drieks. Excellent lyrics my friend, that verse I quoted, is so raw and authentic. Amazing arrangement that enhances these amazing words. I’m a fan. Appreciate you.

    • The lyrics and voice breathe in that space between hope and desolation, where very few are self-aware enough to tread. A glittered gift you possess. May I ask of your music influences? Without music the world dies.

      • Thank you Ghosteen! I couldn’t agree more! Music is a necessity.
        We need water, food, oxygen, love and music!
        My music influences are very broad. For this particulair piece i’d say Sia was the main influence.
        In general, my influences come from pop, hip-hop, dance, rock, EDM and propably some more i can’t think of right now haha.

        • Listen to some Nick Cave, Mazzy Star and the Cocteau Twins. If you can replicate the latter’s incomprehensible & ethereal voice & lyrics, I shall make a donation to an animal and children’s charity. Keep on keeping on. “Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.” As some bloke called Wilde once scribbled. Respect – not in the way uttered by a gangsta’ rapper. Not my thang. But genuine, UK respect.

    • This song hits me differently when I feel so tired and head is pounding from the beginnings of a migraine. Its like I can feel
      this line “Oh the shadows speak when the lights go dim, Invisible projections crawl from within”
      This is a great write

      • Very relatable unfortunately. Migraines can take control over so many things all at once.
        Thank you for your kind words Fia. 🙏🏻
