The Dark Rose is the reason The Observer wasn't long gone. The day she leaves his mind, is the day the writings stop.
When I first started this project, I didn't think I'd get 10 people listening to my stuff, let alone 100. Grateful for each and everyone of you!❤️
Dark Rose 3 - Phoenix (Last stanza)
But through hating you,
I learned what it is
to like myself at the slightest,
and through distrusting you,
I knew where to put my faith,
and against the depth of your flames,
I became the unthinkable,
the phoenix that flew away
and never came back.
An Ode to The Reaper
I’ve walked the walk,
but flunked the talk
with you,
and with myself,
this stutter is killing me
but I opt to live,
as I hope to give.
Privileged enough to speak,
and privileged enough to listen,
wasted each moment
on lackluster conversations
that go as follows.
Who is the enemy?
Where is he?
How’s he free?
Why’s he after me?
When will he leave?
ማነው ጠላቴ፣
በጠፋው ብርታቴ፣
በፈሰሰው ሃሞቴ፣
ምትክ ሃሞት ሰጥቶ ለቅጣቴ፣
ጉሮሮዬን አድርቆ፣ በረካ ጥማቴ
ሲገርፈኝ፣ ሲገፈኝ፣
ውሎ አድሮ የሚጥለኝ፣
ባንሰራራሁት ልክ መልሶ የሚገድለኝ?
ማነው የኔ ባላንጣ
ህሊናው ተረስቶት፣ ስብእናውን እንዳጣ፣
ጨካኝ አረመኔ፣ መከራ የሚያመጣ?
ማነው ይሄ፣
ሰላቢ
ቀጣፊ፣
ልብ የለሽ ልምጥምጥ፣
ለሰው ዘር ቀፋፊ?
The one
who asks for extra fee
when you’ve already paid your debts,
the one who
craves entropy
even with peace as the agreement?
Find who he is,
And every part of his identity.
And when you do,
catch him and burn him,
extirpate his remains,
so not a single ligament
can be retained in the ashes,
he ain’t no phoenix,
the fire will burn him away,
and with his pain, shall we rejoice,
and there’s no way he got no choice.
ሲቸግር “አመመኝ፣ ሰለቸኝ” ሳይል
ችግርን የሚያብስ፣ የፈጠጠ ዓይን፣
ረሃብና ቸነፈር ዘንድ የሚያይል፣
መከራ ሳይበቃ የሚደመር ስቃይ፣
ለዓይን ተደብቆ፣ መስታይት ፊት የሚታይ…
You better wave your pain goodbye,
stop playing the victim,
it’s plain and simple,
these days are ample
to those who waste it with solutions,
not your petty attempts in dissolution
and disassociation in the name of nonchalance,
weak ass motherfucker, understand,
I’m already on one,
you were born to thrive but you wanna suffer.
I’ve walked the walk,
and failed the talk,
this goddamn stutter
is killing me
but I opt to live
as I hope to give
you more reasons to die,
in seasons you rely on
the warmth of the sun
but the moon and its
tides will drown you out
and ruin your night,
and the tsunami that crowns your heavy head
will bring your worthless plight to an end.
ኤድያ፣ ወገኛ።
እሱን ተወው ለኛ።
ካንተ ሚብስ የለም ስንል ወረተኛ
ሆነህ የምትዞር፣ ወፍ ዘራሽ ስደተኛ፣
ሂድ እዚያ በጠጥ ጋር ሂደህ ተኛ።
I still play the game,
I know zero shame.
Plenty of times I lost,
plenty of times I was cost the win,
but I got bailed out by the wind.
I’ll thrive amidst calamity,
die with immortality so reaper,
don’t you dare come lecture me.
ክርስቶስ ተንስአ እሙታን
በዐቢየ ሀይል ወስልጣን፣
አሰሮ ለሰይጣን ፣
አግአዞ ለአዳም ፣
ሰላም እምይእዜሰ፣ ኮነ ፍስሃ ወሰላም::
እንኳን ለብርሃነ ትንሳኤው በሰላም አደረሳችሁ፣ አደረሰን!❤️
Apathy 2
Tolerance, apathy, death
I don't know which is worse.
Being heartbroken and still being able to love,
or never feeling a whiff of heartbreak
and being apathetic.
Lately,
I’ve been living way more existentially
than I have any right to.
I can sense my palpitations,
palpate the nitty gritty of life,
every detail seems to have
a newer devil,
and it gets worse
the higher the level.
Thoughts of you
add insult to injury.
I have parts of me
that left with you
and never came back.
I can name a few
but then I remember
you probably wouldn’t listen,
you never did,
you never do.
Why I write to you
will forever remain a mystery.
I hate how I learned dark arts and alchemy,
from you,
burning bridges and breaking tables,
when push came to shove.
I thought I could move
with my stomach wide open
for the world to see,
until you infested every
part of my intestines
and had to close it down a bit.
I loved you when I thought
there were parts we shared,
till I saw you were always
a parasitic cyst,
trying to exist
within until you’re
left with nothing to ingest.
Maybe I thought it was a good idea,
surely, I was a fool.
I was part of your plans
until I fulfilled your demands.
And now I’m left to stand
a broken shell of an already-broken man.
I’d lie if I said I didn’t miss
what I thought you were.
But what you are?
I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
But aye, at least the moon looks pretty tonight!
I've had numerous muses but if I can pinpoint on the major theme behind my writing, it is anger. A simple frustration, a minor inconvenience are usually enough to have me go off. But this excerpt is actually based off of one of my biggest existential frustrations.
Crypto Alchemy
Cover the base of your head
hide your face
from the braindead
evil eyes ready to pounce.
Choose the place to make
your small bed
just to end up
dreaming of laying
on the king sized one.
Lies
I can predict them,
but the shrines
you call your refuge
make it hard for one
to depict them.
Dress accordingly.
From your head
all the way to your toes.
Cover yourself
with the cleanest of clothes.
Hide your abrasions and contusions,
the brazen tattoos
you dare not lose
no matter what.
Go to the masses,
but be apathetic
to those who pray for you.
Keep lying to yourself,
and act faithful to the truth.
Divine sequence
was never on the bucket list
for your explorations within
the realm of this dogma.
Befriend the Good Scripture,
but
do what Brutus did to Caesar,
stab it in its back,
attack every intricate
wordings of its body,
and change it to your version,
adulterate and butcher it,
preach it to the masses,
in spite of the backlash,
and thrive amidst the chaos.
How your calloused tongue
speaks this well, they’ll never know.
But when they do know,
you’ll never speak again.
Do you follow the rules?
Or do you make ones that follow you?
What’s the point in trusting a God
when your actions tell
that you want to be one?
Tell me what’s your excuse
to be this audacious
to be this shameless?
What happened to being courteous?
Have you really no couth?
Stand for your choices,
sleep on every truce,
command the hateful voices
that lead them to the noose.
And don’t you dare lie to me.
I can tell this
is what your subconscious needs
over anything else of some use.
For, as genuine as you seem,
and as genuine as you look,
you won’t abide by the truth,
if it don’t align with yours.

This is a two-piece video made from two twin concepts - willful delusion to the dark side of the earth that ends with an ominous note (My head is empty) vs full acceptance of one's intrusive thoughts as well as cynicism that ends with a hopeful note (Pugilistic).
There is a an excerpt titled "Questions" between the two works and it was written last year and I used it as a transitional piece.
Hope you guys like it!
And a short memo, if you're having a tough time, get hydrated. It won't make a difference per se, but at least you won't be going through a lot WHILE dehydrated.
