The Bargain
Jessie Belle Rittenhouse I bargained with Life for a penny, And Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening When I counted my scanty store. For Life is a just employer; He gives you what you ask. But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for […]
Saval: Memoria de un Amor
Parte IEl mar fue mi velero,el galope de un noble corcel,el sueño que viví contigo llenoen un mundo paralelo de ayer.El amor lo aprendí en la herida,en la ternura de tu rostro juvenil,allá al sur del mundo y de la vida,donde tu recuerdo será siempre infantil.Tras un mostrador, te observe,la calle vacía guardaba tu hogar,frente […]
The tunes of time
I hear marvelous tunes.I feel the vast depths of time—something my bones can sense,for I am here, dwelling below it all.For hundreds of years, the spheres have whispered to me,telling a story—a story without an end.It is the vast, unexplored mirror of pain and beauty,where both exist together, inseparable.Dance with me until the fall of […]
Whispers of Force
Seek answers to everything— from the hidden realms of the universe to the silent Light of the cosmos. But tread lightly, earthbound, for two invisible forces are never meant to be sought.

The Skull of Hermes
We go through lifehoping to understand its meaning,and in the endall that remainsis hope for immortality.The acorn becomes the oak,and the seeds of wisdomare cast into the ether of lifeso that we may endure.Life’s meaningis nothing morethan the unknown shadowof the human soul.Take a leap of faith.Aid those in need, as you will, from beyond […]
Cosmic Wanderer’s Reflection
For I remember… I am not from this planet. My planet? Your planet, and the Cosmos. I would like to see other worlds now that I am here. Impossible— for I can only travel within my mind. As I lay down to speak with the mystery man who, with arrogance, wit, and terrible odor, said: […]
