Je te dis que je pars                                                                                                  
Pour ces mots que je ne t’ai jamais dits,                                                   Pour tous ceux que je ne te dirais plus,                                                               Tes écrits que je ne lirais plus,
Pour ces leurres qui ont brisé ma vie,
Tes regards qui ne sont plus les miens,                                                                    Pour ces flous qui ne ressemblent à rien,                                                          Tes absences, la raideur de tes mains,                                                                         Pour tes projets sans lendemain.                                                                                            
Je te dis que je pars.                                                                                               Je te dis que je pars.

Pour la main tendue qui n'est jamais venue,
Ce bonheur promis que je n'ai jamais eu,
Pour cet amour enfui et jamais revenu ;
Pour ce cœur meurtri qui saigne et n'en peut plus.
Je te dis que je pars.                                                                                         Je te dis que je pars.                                                                                             Je te dis que je pars.                                                                                           Je te dis que je pars.    
                                                                                         
Pour l'enfance disparue à jamais retrouvée,                                                 Cette souffrance que je n’peux pardonner,                                                                              
Ce rien qui me sépare du voyage vers la mort,                                                  Pour ne laisser ni peine ni remords,

Je te dis que je pars. Je te dis que je pars. Je te dis que je pars.

Je te dis que je pars

HER HEART SENDS MY SOUL AWAY XXXXX ANONYMOUXX ROCKOUT

THUNDER DOME

submission for OST Fragments Jam #3 hosted by resident // cryptid for Itch.IO September 2025

Seventeen year-old Eärendil ​(in Sun-Year 520-521) is about ready to do the initial shakedowns of Vingilótë ​to make sure it doesn't fall apart in the middle of the harbor (that would be embarrassing...) but is having second thoughts about this whole savior of the Free Peoples idea. Círdan ​says 'if you want to dip out and run away that's your absolute right. We won't be best pleased but you are a free individual." (Knowing sagely that he will almost certainly change his mind). The young fellow goes out and has a daydream among the surrounding fields slaying bumblebees /various insects. Essentially the same premise as the 1933 poem except in this rationale both it and Eärendillinwë​​ are now about Eärendil ​, just at different stages of life.

Never Really Wanted to Date You

submission for Weekly Note Composing Jam #36 hosted by emscottish for Itch.IO October 2025

Helluin's Abyss

Lyrics:
In the twilight of our dreams
You whispered soft and low
Every promise shared, it seems
Was all we’d ever know

But shadows crept
Silent and heavy

Taking whispers, fading light
I’m left to weep
Lost in the levy
Can you turn back this endless night?

Do you remember the laughter
We shared beneath the stars?
Moments etched like a chapter
Yet now we're worlds apart

But shadows crept
Silent and heavy

Taking whispers, fading light
I’m left to weep
Lost in the levy
Can you turn back this endless night?

But shadows crept
Silent and heavy

Taking whispers, fading light
I’m left to weep
Lost in the levy
Can you turn back this endless night?

Endless Night

2023 track when 15. really miss those days making music with just my phone.
Not yet in studio, but it's time will come. I believe 

Drew Movi - gimme some love feat. juicy baby

Agrat Bat Mahlat — one of the Four Queens of Demons, embodiment of forbidden desire, nocturnal witchcraft, and infernal beauty. 

In the circle of night, she dances unseen,  
Four winds tremble beneath her sheen.  
A crown of flame, a veil of sin,  
The ritual calls — and she begins.  

Silver smoke on velvet skin,  
Her laughter coils, it pulls me in.  
Eyes like prayers that burn the soul,  
Desire consumes — it takes control.  

Agrat Bat Mahlat, Queen of the fire,  
Serpent of night, divine desire.  
I kneel beneath your shadowed throne,  
Your name, my curse, my flesh, your own.  

Whispers echo through the veil,  
Her breath — a storm, her touch — a grail.  
The stars bow down, the heavens turn,  
The holy drown, the wicked burn.  

Four queens gather in the storm,  
Their tongues weave fate, their hearts transform.  

Agrat Bat Mahlat

Family Should Help You Heal (Composition No. 6)

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
