Life of a Hustler

Lyrics

The night is here, and all is still.
I hear your voice, against my will.
No words you speak, no sound you make,
But in this quiet, my heart will break.

A whispering echo, in the dark,
No text, no whisper, not a single mark.
I let you go, into the night,
But in my heart, you'll always be my light.

I close my eyes, I see your face.
A memory, in this empty space.
No sign from you, no gentle breeze,
Just silent pain, that brings me to my knees.

A whispering echo, in the dark,
No text, no whisper, not a single mark.
I let you go, into the night,
But in my heart, you'll always be my light.

My words now end, forever gone…

Forever…

Silent Echoes

“Anemochory”, from the botanical term for wind-borne seed dispersal, forms the fourth Item of “Tome of Stars” and serves as a metaphor for the poet’s most desolate phase. It consists of fifteen sonnets of emotional scattering, spiritual disorientation, and theological anguish.

This sonnet captures a moment of psychological paralysis at the threshold of emotional exposure. The speaker stands poised to send another message to the beloved, following years of silence and a devastating rebuke, suddenly gripped by the torment of hoping for contact while dreading renewed condemnation. The language is of inner conflict, torn between truth and terror, between the impulse to reach out and the fear of annihilation, and it portrays a soul stripped bare, willing to risk obliteration for the chance of even the faintest reply.

Lyrics

Truth battles terror in a fractured mind,
I labor wild to break hell-hammered chains.
Long-cancered code, for vampires designed,
Has cost me you and bought me lasting strain.

I’ve borne your silence, flinched at bitter words,
Envisioned every tint of your disdain.
My prayer for kindness is, of course, absurd,
For miracles won’t grace my damned domain.

Your art at wounding mocks all mortal scales;
Cruel January’s poison ever burns.
Before your gates, I tremble naked, frail,
All armor useless, spirit, heart upturned.

And if again your blade plunged through my chest,
I’d kiss you with my last breath, ever blessed.
