 A note from Eden
For years I had no idea why I was this way... Why I was
shooting with my lens, the nerves of a leaf while most of
the people passing by, seeing only the greenery. Why I was
astonished by the sun rays piercing the water’s surface
while most of the people were enjoying swimming in the
sea. Why the structure of an empty shell kept me always
breathless while others might step on dozens of them at a
walk on sand. I thought all these were happening because
I was meant to be a visual artist and somehow I had
to use that information into my art. I did that for years
with success, but never felt complete as an artist and an
individual, but I could never imagine that the reason I
was always noticing everything oddly, was that I’m a poet
at heart.
Words meant few things to me, or I thought so until the
day I was accidentally reborn anew, a different personality.
A poetry lover, writing and reading large collections of
verses, rhymes, haikus, I keep on falling in love more and
more with words and how they can draw images sometimes
more vivid than the actual ones. A vision from the soul of
the poet directly to the hearts of the reader. For me, this 

11
is the perfect form of interactive art, from the moment a
poem is read and perceived by our brains through imagery,
metaphors, symbolism saying things we poets need to tell,
but only to those that need to listen.
I could do little else than be thankful from the deepest place of
my heart to those that motivated me the most to write every
day for five years now have been the Twitter prompters with
their inspirational words and unique images. Unfortunately,
many of those accounts do not exist anymore, but I need to
mention those that are still there doing beautiful work:
@sable_swan, @DimpleVerse, @MadQueenStorm,
@WrittenRiver, @TLPoetry, @poeverse, @TastyPoem,
@microprompt, @Balderdash_Babe, @ravenandrhyme,
@_BeautifulMes_ and many others.
I would also like to thank @toyotaman1988, @GalyaVarna
& @WeArtFriends for their valuable help.

{ c h a p t e r o n e }

We are
the elements
of our private
space

13
Miniature moons
As you switch off the moonlight
compose a sonnet
mused by darkness
When you are staring into nothing
you see all so loud

And if you find yourself bereft

of illuminated moments
Fill your pockets
with miniature moons
One for each black velvet night
to shine it through

14
A brave star
Awaiting daylight
ignoring she is a star
and shines only
at dark skies
Constantly
flirts with the Sun
Brave enough
to be just smoke

15
Under a tin moon
Another way
to walk through life
is dreaming
under a tin moon
and rusty stars

A destiny written
with acid rain
and ultraviolet love
all over your fossil palms

16
 Each window
Each window has two faces
so two tales to share
They’re meant to be
long & different
as night & day
But when the window opens
they merge

17
Fragment bright
A little star appeared far away
Almost out of my sight
So sparkling
that it warmed my soul
for a while

I didn’t realize at once

that it was you
shinning up through the sky

You had an urge

to watch me from above
Because you loved me
I suppose

You must know now

I’m still struggling without you
Here on earth to survive
While you are a star
so bright

18
 Sky
Sky
Is your breeze
That makes me shimmer
I’m your vanity mirror
The sea
Never forsake me
Never apart we’ll be
I’m you
and you are me

19
 In nocturnal
silver blood
I wash my hair
as the moon
weeps

20
 Let me be
If I lose myself
within a storm
let me be
under layers of heavy rain
until I don’t feel anything
or you’ll need me
forevermore

21
 Among
the stones
Talk to me
through a wave

Send me in time
to the beach
to hear words flow
among the stones

Send me
but not without a cause

22
Blind wave
Unmoored by anyone
but the wind
The blind wave crashes
by its own will

Melted on rocks
consumed by sand
Pure and mad
 Wound
Each time I ‘m broken
I hush
Cause I know
That all the stardust
Coming from my wound
Is tomorrow’s remedy
to heal
The next one

24
Tales unwritten
Some tales
shall remain unwritten
Only formed
by clouds and stars

Between
heaven’s & hell’s kingdoms
Whispering words
one with the sky

25
Cotton fields
Thunders and storms
Absent the rain
The sky is dry
As every cloud lost its way
Fell on the ground
Forming cotton fields
A heavenly earth
Should be it
Yet a charcoal mist
Is already here
To obscure our dreams

26
27
Sending light
We awaken the night
with eyes sparkling
sending light
straight to our hearts
Ignite the sky
as we’re made of stars

28
 Golden wings
You sculpted golden wings
at my tiny back, Mama
since my first day of life

They are growing old

along with me
inch by inch, day by day
My weapon to fly
close to the sun
unharmed by flames

“Heavy burden”
as many said
But unlike Icarus
I’ ll be back
as soon as I steal some flames
from light’s fountain
and make an offer
at the miracle’s gate

29
Millions of Suns
Millions of Suns
Warm smiles
Against my blues

Fields of sunbeams
In a stellar symphony
Full of joyful hues

30
 Some souls
being born under
the darkest skies
yet blooming
in vivid
colours

31
Catching a rainbow
Catching a rainbow
with our eyes
Imprisoning it
onto a lake’s surface

We’re the unicorns

drinking colors
in love’s name

We’re the ones

that shall keep
the spark alive

The miraculous ones

32
 A soul’s song
A sudden wind
brought to my private Aether
a peculiar soul’s song

Ever since
I’m vibrated in depth
by the echoes
of a mental storm

33
34
 Sky carving
Don’t run into tomorrow
There are plenty of
unexplored trails
hidden into the sky of today
Petrify the wind instead
to win over time

Sky carve the moments

as dreamers do
Mold with aether
cloudy masterpieces

Forming frontiers
to protect
all that we love

35
 The blaze
The blaze of their hearts
still glowing
bellow coals & ashes
of dying earth

Embers
of an undead love
shall be fire again
in no time

36
I own the water
I’ve seen wet eyes
so many times
gazing
at my life’s wounds

I hush spirits
saying
“I’ll be alright
I own the water
No worries
Sea will be calm”

37
Our cosmic existence
Look up at the universe
There I am
shinning even more
since I’m a broken star
Billions my scattered pieces
A memory to hold
each one

Creating my own starlight

to bathe you into
a glow brighter
than any moon’s halo
as I’m doing pirouettes
on silver dust

38
Amid a blizzard
Impossible for tender skin
to remain soft
amid a blizzard
Cracking & bleeding
Peeling off the surface
and it may someday
reveal a beast

39
 A rose
under the sun
A pink skin rose
impossibly to live
under the savage sun

It will begin to glisten

Glow, sparkle, twinkle

Before bursting into flames

& becoming a sable one

40
Shimmering
stones
along the
river’s shore.
Silver doves

41
Hologram bay
At my hologram bay
sands of hope seem endless

Infinite grains
of future memories
falling behind my eyes

Captured all
inside an hourglass pane

Moments flow
through my hands

I can’t hold them

42
 Helpless
If the moon leaves
to follow the sun
The night grows endless

A kingdom falls apart

in holy dark

When she loves

she’s helpless

43
Karma’s lights
Karma’s lights
seem to be turned off

That’s why
you can’t see
how blessed I am

Sympathy overflows
but I’ll carry on
as a dark star
at Shadowland’s dome

44
 Angels
Angels always swim at nights
so no one can see them

Hiding
among their gentle
riptide moves
as if this sway
was a work of winds

45
 First
First,
the universe ached
& cracked in two

Soon, gave it birth

to galaxies, stars, your eyes

Later,
delivered everything else

46
 Nocturnal sun
In some cripple nights
the nocturnal sun
mimics the pearlescent aura
of the moonlight’s halo

Hearts beat
with false tunes
yet an artificial star
deceives
only the fools

47
 The pilgrim
The pilgrim composed
An ode to the moon
He kneeled under its halo

The moon cried

Baptizing the earth with love

And a lake was born

In front of millions of eyes

A sacrifice
In the name of humanity

48
 The weaver
caresses
her cashmere soul.
A celestial yarn
is born

49
Missed you
Missed you before
we inhale each other’s
silver linings

Missed you when dusk

swallowed us whole

Missing you now

we are plain smoke

50
 Stones
Memories of a raw emotion
Sighs as a silent song
flew through the heart
to the lips
before they form
into stones

51
Sleepwalking
Happily sleepwalking
amongst blue skies
and yellow fields

Opening my eyes
just to see
that I only can feel
his frozen mist
over my heart’s hills

52
Radiant elements
Liquid, solid, air
Radiant elements
Living peacefully in Eden
Not in my psyche

Tears, flesh, soul

Parts of an even bigger image
Parts of the ability
To love
To forgive
To bury the errors

I seek atonement
Believe me

53
 { c h a p t e r t w o }

Who told you

a soul
can’t bite?
55
 Shadowland
Shadowland
A ground uninhabited
Where solitude
plays cards with ghosts
Never abandoned
Haunting the desert you are
Even when
you are awake

56
The unwritten pages
An ode to all
the unwritten pages
Those carved
With our pens

Lust, tears, & pain

Engraved

While their alter egos

had all the fame and glory

Don’t you dare think

They’re empty

They’re the soul

of our words

57
58
 The carousel
of hallucinations
Not a dream
Nor a nightmare
Still, you aren’t awake
Welcome
to the carousel
of hallucinations
Ride your private monster
and sway

59
 Bruises
Bruises on the walls
Tears from the ceiling
Too much pain
for a dollhouse
that bleeds indoors
ready to shatter
each dawn

60
In my drawer
Keeping words in my drawer
Under paperwork
Under useless things

Before I know
They’re buried deep within
my past life dreams

It’s where I’ve lost you, too

Forgive me
but I can’t find you

Clatter won

61
 Teardrop
A journey from an eye
through the surface
of a cheek

Ends up as
an invisible stain

A short living teardrop

salty, bitter or sweet

62
 If you
recognize
yourself
into my poem,
I’m your
mirror

63
Pushing words
I’m pushing words
on my chest
to send them back
into my soul
Stay forever
in the dark
Buried deep
in where they belong

64
My phobias alley
Late at night
I took a turn
at my phobias alley
Leading straight
to the slaughterhouse of dreams
All that I dread of
were waiting there
All of them
even those yet unborn

65
The red apple
Peeling the red apple
Carefully
Smoothly
Slowly
Until the ugly truth
reveals
its empty flesh

66
 Push me
In the fade of my heartbeat
Standing bare
At the edge of a cliff

Seeking emotions
To feel anything

Push me
to a dream

67
68
Down the walls
If only
I could lay down
staring at the ceiling
without the fear
that demons
would begin to crawl
down the walls
sliding into my bed
and eventually
drinking my soul out

69
Possessing auras
Haunted spirits
come & go
from our desolation
They leave marks
Sometimes scars
Often wounds
& their possessing auras
occupying us
to the bones

70
 Ceiling
Your ceiling
isn’t a tabula rasa

Has imprinted
every secret, thought, sigh

All from which

you can’t hide

The unseen map of you

Of your mind

71
Invisible horizons
Aren’t we touching
invisible horizons
through window panes?

They are shear walls

but we prefer
to pretend blindness
until the day
has gone

72
 Birth,
the prelude
to a life
that closes
its circle
with a requiem

73
Destiny’s rules
Making peace with pain
Welcoming
destiny’s rules

So much knowledge
is hiding amongst a tragedy

Save your sanity

as you roll the dice

74
 My actual face
I’ll cover all of my mirrors
because I need to observe
my actual face

I may be frightened, dazzled

even pity myself

I’ll take the risk

to meet me

It’s been a while since then

75
The coward’s lips
Some words
will never slide
through the coward’s lips

But there’s a danger

they might explode
into the brain
causing permanent damage
to the heart

76
A hidden room
In every home
exists a hidden room

Nor door
neither windows

We need to keept it safe

before any sunbeam
could ever find
it’s core

77
Reflections
of you
hanging
on my tears

78
 Neon lights
Trembling neon lights
Purple, pink, green & blue

Some letters burned-out

Illuminated signs
we’re unable to read

Where shall we go to
from now on?

79
That being’s form
Her innocence failed
when a pure sensation
ended up
a raw feast
in someone else’s jaws

She asks for oblivion

to drown her false insight

Blur out
that being’s form

Making peace
with her own soul

80
Through my veins
Through my veins
Runs ink with soul
Mysteriously dark
Poisonous as love
With roses scent
The poetic thoughts
I live for

81
As you wait
There are times
one minute lasts
so much longer
than an hour

Times a day feels

more weary
than a whole year
of frazzle

As you wait

82
A fierce garden
A fierce garden
transplanted into our souls

Where fear grows

roses
becoming thorns again

Piercing the emotions

of the poor
and their fate

83
 At the end
of the tunnel
At the end of the tunnel
beyond a white light mist
Gathering
nameless psyches
Wearing black
butterfly wings
Taking us
In peace

84
85
Time is cracking
Time is cracking
and the sound
is so harsh

But the blues echoing

from my inside cell,
such a louder pulse

It gives me the tune

to sing along
with the beat of my heart

86
 Lullabies
Sing to me lullabies
to ease my demons
Serenade them
through
this corpse of mine
as you kiss me
and they may release me
Set me free to see
myself anew

87
 If only
If only
we could beguile Death

Mate with our own replicas

in mystical festive unions

Celebrate life
through a womb
as we give birth
to our better selves

88
At his spine’s wreckage
At his spine’s wreckage
They shall all be there
His whispering dolls
grinning
Those pretty ones
taken
not for child’s play

89
Caged bird
My prison
is your window
You observe
while I act

As a caged bird
Singing
without rhythm

How can I
accept that?

90
Doorway mirror
Standing still
At my doorway mirror
Staring at my cracked ego
Pieces about to fall
in any minute

Through them I see

my multiplied self

Too many faces

waiting in a queue
to live one doomed life
Mine

91
 An owl’s
solitary sound
pierces
the night’s silence
in stitches

92
Amniotic liquid
As we reach
the very deep end
of REM sleep
We may be drawn down
into our own
amniotic liquid
while dreaming of
giving to life
an endless kiss

93
 Irresistible
Irresistible the apple
Passing hands
Changing owners
Tenants come & go
from Eden’s gardens
Tempting your weakness
to grow

94
 Absence
Absence
A vicious undead oddity

Tasteless
Soundless
Unscented

A wicked sadist
Leaving marks that
No man or woman
can soothe or heal

95
Sleepless eyes
Sleepless eyes
right where
dreams should unfold

Living nightmares
about to crawl
on walls
sheets
and souls.

Dealing
with our personal demons
as each night falls

96
97
Unfold memories
Unfold
savage memories
Spread rose petals
all over
Fold back again
before burying them
into oblivion’s closet
forever

98
My paper cut heart
Watercolors
over my paper cut heart

I pick blue, green, yellow

Colors to match
with my eyes
I pin it on my shirt

Colorful blood

99
Tiny clouds
Cold Morning
among cold walls

Sighs travel
as tiny clouds
in the room

A misty atmosphere
to keep me
almost warm

100
 Yearning
all those
simple pleasures
life promised
but lied to me

101
 Where
gingerbread men
play
You may find me
where gingerbread men play

At some iced sugar fields

Next to the liqueur river
or the caramel lake

From cotton candy clouds

falling syrop rain

Maybe I’m dreaming

Maybe I’m awake

102
Nothingness
Unfold the length
of the gap
Breathe it in
It might be cold
but there is
a mystic essence
in pure
nothingness

103
A raw meat’s song
I was raw meat walking
at some field

Getting ready now

for obscured saturation
I’m a smokey feast
and within ten hours
laying at your table

104
 Who I was before
nobody needs to know or care
since my body satisfies your taste
I hope you won’t spit me down
or argue with the butcher
for selling my modest flesh
instead of a superb one

I’ll feel deeply sorry

for your poor tasting meal
For I wasn’t worthy enough
to be on your plate
I’m sorry I wasn’t
your favorite kind of food
But I feel even sadder
for myself

105
Second-hand wings
Second-hand wings
are not a gift
Place them back
to where they belong
I deny wearing
someone else’s dreams
Don’t insist
I carry my own

106
Subconscious bridge
Subconscious bridge,
attach our psyches edges

I dare you,
but they cut like razors
oh, so deep
And the valley below
a red abyss
from murdering
a long-awaited fusion
before its birth

We’re the crows

forming circles
above our remains

Fluttering till the end

107
Fragile kiss
Be gentle

Her fragile kiss

might cut your lips
in pieces

If you embrace her

too hard
she’ll break
and there will be blood

108
Broken or damaged?
A long way
in-between
I’m somewere
in the middle
practicing balance

109
Lucid nightmares
Don’t read me
bedtime stories
nor fairy tales
to dream on

Lucid nightmares
to start with
but
I take the risk
to ask for more

110
Homeless spirits
Homeless spirits
Out of their cocoons
Out of any skin
Their stray breathing
Maybe weak
Yet free

111
 { c h a p t e r t h r e e }

Where
the pure hearts
grow
 Hide me
in your pocket
Hide me in your pocket
Take me with you
where the waves crash
where you spread joy
where your music grows
& I won’t make a sound

114
 Empty paper
An empty paper
waiting at my door

Explaining it all

Blank as invisible love

Hush as the unspoken words
A gap between our worlds

115
 Our rooms
My room
Your room

Distant places
away but close

We seek pleasure
through murmuring walls
while pushing them
to move

116
 Aroma
and flavor
are the love
potion
for romance

117
Keyboards & plugs
Keyboards
attached to brains

Plugs
linked to hearts

That’s how
the battle of logic
begins
at the valleys
of the electric-powered
love

118
 Driftwood
She became a driftwood
washed ashore the sea
when he said goodbye

119
At a spider’s web
Connected
with a spider’s web thread
Stuck inches away or miles
We’re the helpless kind
Weaved inside
the cloth of seasons
unable to move
forth or back
We’re both attached
together in sequence
with each other’s force
At our highs and lows
always and forever
Molded into one tight bond
Gentle strength
from wired silk
We are beautiful this way
So strong

120
 5 corner box
Look at this five corner box
Unstable walls
with floating floor
Hush and insecure
But I’m willing to stay
Make it my home
with you

121
 Where I long
to breathe
is inside of you
My ocean I adore
Your deepest place
Your soul

122
Invisible parts
Reveal for me
your invisible parts

Trust me
with your blood

Show me what’s hidden

beneath your smile

I’m not afraid to see

the beast you keep
within your heart

123
 A tangled
state of mind
Love
is a tangled state of mind

Silk yarn woven

A bow tie thread
Knots upon kisses
combed with care

One complex land

No way out from

124
 Empty alleys
My veins are rivers
running in silence
Mute without your words
Empty alleys
missing your steps
It’s where shadows crawl over
our love’s ashes
At my soul’s remains

125
Kiss me here
Kiss me here
to the walls of my mind

Make love
to the gate of my cage

Steal my heart before

it turns into stone

126
127
 The unseen
layers of love
I pretend I don’t see you

You act as you can’t hear me

It’s alright
cause we’ve learned
to believe
in the unseen layers
of love

128
Empty paper
An empty paper
waiting at my door
Explaining it all

Blank
as invisible love

Hush
as the unspoken words
A gap between
our worlds

129
 The pulse
My body
sings lullabies
when I cradle you
at my wombs
embrace

But beating hearts

are the ones
giving us the pulse
to dance the blues

130
 Love is
a mystic trail
of combined
letters
& carved
whispers

131
Romancing the gap
Drawing with whispers
Modeling landscapes
with sighs
Romancing the gap
Filling it with love
You’re immortal
With me
by your side

132
 Shelters
She found a shelter
inside his isolation

And he a sanctuary
within her flesh

When they raised

a temple
one soul was born
building their myth
in eternity

133
134
Collecting moments
We discovered a way
to drink again
from the broken glass
Without replacing
every little part we’ve lost
Instead used some love
I’m collecting
the moments of our story
Picking up
scattered fragments of us
I keep them safely
into my heart
and I still seek for missing parts
Maybe they were stolen
while we were blind

135
Behind you
As I walked behind you
your backbone
sensed my blues

Turn around now

& the hollow smiles
will be kisses
before we breathe out
goodbyes

136
Echo in harmony
I whispered
a single word
but you heard a love song
as an echo
dramatized my sigh

Swept by the wind

to reach you
at another earth
another time
in pure harmony

137
The heart of a flower
The heart of a flower
dripping love
and it’s where
I long to be

The perfect illusion

of how a heart
should feel within

138
 A symphony
composed by
a dream orchestra
An ode to our
impossible
love

139
 Lighthouse
I’m the wayward,
& hope for madness

Hiding the lighthouse

with my own hands

Never find land

Never rescued
from love

140
 Butterfly kiss
I felt a clench inside my belly
A hovering into my chest
Then a lump in my throat

As a butterfly
came out of my lips
for a kiss

141
Bloody kiss
Be gentle
Her fragile kiss
might cut your lips
in pieces
If you embrace her
too hard
she’ll break
& there will be blood

142
 Lost domain
Here lying on this bench
they used to hold
one another’s hearts

Nesting them
within the cave
of their holding hands

Keeping their blooms protected

from winter’s harsh raged blasts

But I don’t see them anymore

A whole era passed by
Their worship went wrong
Devotion gave its throne
to pride

A lost domain declared

once eternal love

143
 Crossroad
Meet me at the crossroad
of Avenue of Hope
& Passionate Sky Highway

Where we used to blend

our desires
into one vision
of perfection

Meet me again
even if we are hopeless

144
Each other’s eyes
A dive so deep
in longing
when we used to swim
into each other’s eyes
& everything else outside
our pool of love
was blurred

145
 We are mist
Paramours evaporate
into one another’s arms

Until the circle of love

uses that mist
for a new emotion
to be poured in hearts

146
 A heart
unable to flutter
Impossible
to be
in love

147
 Embers
The blaze of their hearts
still glowing
bellow coals & ashes
of dying earth

Embers
of an undead love
threatening
to be fire again
in no time

148
 Precious
l escape from nowhere
each day
trying to reach
your hurting soul

To nourish
cherish
praise it
as a gem
as a precious stone
