The poetry of the untold

Posted on October 8, 2014 By adcitlali

        Almost forgotten   Waves hitting the corner of your eye    Words refusing to leave your muted lips    A touch you take for granted    Every day      Each morning         Thru the whole night          Ephemeral   Sounds silenced by the background noise by that noise –reminder of the relevant…

Personal mythology

Posted on October 1, 2014 By adcitlali

He felt   lost  , lonely, tired   Life was not what he dreamed of   Past told a broken story   Dreams were wrong         Present hurtful A man stops believing in the gods that failed him A man forgets the gods who forgot him     NO  MORE  RITUALS! (… without…

Real women don’t cry

Posted on September 9, 2014 By adcitlali

I feel incomplete     There is an empty space inside my skin     a void containing all pain         intangible without any light or colour I want to cry Be strong  –an echo with mom’s voice Tears only bring troubles You shed them too often I try           I…

A fantasy sorta story: It is dangerous to walk a dream

Posted on August 5, 2014 By adcitlali

The old man strolls the moon      without any reason      Sometimes he stops      to wonder why he walks      On occasion he forgets the pace and finds himself running in circles Some circles had been run often They are now deep and quiet He rarely strolls the imaginary…

Dimethyltryptamine: the utopian spiral

Posted on July 30, 2014 By adcitlali

Eyelids rest to the sharp vision of my eyes     You are there                              dressed in a black that turns purple     DMT flows freely     The firebird passes by A cloud of fine ashes surrounds us both you vanish     leaving a floating tear      (sad cheshire-cat’s grin) She falls…

Full stop

Posted on July 28, 2014 By adcitlali

In the absence of distractions    my own darkness fills this silence    Change is here again    Planned path / unknown outcome    A life to be –or not    Too much time    too many thoughts blinking in the dark    Arbitrary memories flash here and there   …

Where?

Posted on June 19, 2014 By adcitlali

  I want to be in the city someone forgot to build     right in the middle of dreams     where there is nothing to hide       A city fueled by a passionate sun    who writes temporal poems on afternoon clouds     A city at night covered by…
