It was not what it was

They told me it was blue,

I looked at the sky,

It certainly had that color,

But that was not what it was.


They told me it was small,

I looked at my kitten,

It was cuddly and tiny,

But that was not what it was.


They told me it was old,

I looked at my watch,

Sure it was vintage,

But that was not what it was.


They told me it was a treasure,

I had a son, whom I adored,

He was my precious...,

But that was not what it was.


At some point, I began to think,

Who told me all those things?

What put me on this journey?

Who said it was not what it was?

Flowers that failed to bloom

In the meadow's hidden nooks, Where sparrows shared their secret looks, He glimpsed a spectacle so rare, As if heaven itself ignited the air! With cautious steps on the unearthly field, Through grass that whispered, a beautiful yield, Past the swan-filled lake's serene embrace, He felt a dream, a surreal space. Before him, a vision began to take shape, An essence pristine, draped in a mysterious cape, He reached out, uncertainty in the air, A fragrant breeze, a welcome affair. Then, a blink, and he stood alone in the dawn, The enchanting scene, like a mirage, was gone, Emotions stirred, a gaze to the sky, Love lingered faintly, a memory passing by. Falling once more, he smiled, reflections cast, A solace for a soul that seemed outlast, "Were not all songs, with a touch of gloom, Odes to flowers that failed to bloom?" -------------------------------------------------------------------- NAVIGATION Home

But you are the most important among all

Into the dark thorns, I go,  My poor heart cannot take it all, Something precious, something essential,  I couldn't have just lost it all, It drives me crazy, looking through the brush, Oh, how I miss your sweet call! Onwards I go, steeper do my feet tread, Oh where did you go, who had me in such a thrall? My life's blood shall be spilled, And into the depths of despair will I fall, But deeper shall I go for love,  For that is the only thing I have at all. Forgive me if I won't exist after this,  But you are the most important among all. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NAVIGATION Home

Terror at School - Prologue

     Zain got up from the sofa after tying his shoes. He picked up his backpack from the shelf across the room in the open kitchen and made his way toward the front door of his house.      A moment later, he was past it and out onto the street. It was a sunny Autumn day, with a slight bit of overcast. Leaves rustled on the pavement, which was otherwise thick with dust. Patches of litter also dotted the street all the way to the road junction several meters away. It was towards here that Zain was looking, hands tightly clenching the straps of his bag, and only a moment after he had exited his home, a bus arrived, its engine howling in the otherwise quiet morning.      The monster of a vehicle screeched to a halt near where Zain was standing, and the door popped open; the bus conductor, a tall, lean man, turned his gaze at him. Zain hopped onto the bus through the steps at the entrance and looked towards the back of the bus, its rows of seats filled with other children, all of whom seeme
