Digitally Transfiguring

  My life as a poem, part three Digitally Transfiguring IT THINKS MY MIND Belief has been organised My sicken mindset In my haste to make common sense Everything seemed under control I, as a serpent But where does identity begin and entity end Deep within, where my monster resides My need for a showcase My need for surprise My need to embellish My guild to build faith I, mirroring society  I, rethinking the ordinary I, self-sealing in theory, evidence and belief Poetry Genre:  Nihilist, dark ambient, industrial, avant-garde.

From Statues to Sentinels

Image
  Our Sentinel From Statues to Sentinels Narration You know, I never thought I’d find myself in the heart of this mega-city. One night, wandering through a hidden park, I discovered statues that seemed to be alive. Among the sculptures is Sir Cedric, a knight whose marble exterior shines like steel. He believed he was the protector of this marvellous city.  The protector of threats long gone and those yet to arrive. I had the moral purpose of showing him what the world had become; somehow, he showed me the courage to dispute it. Together, we faced a rogue state that threatened to tear our freedom apart. At that moment, I realized that history and the future combine to restrict our ambitions. Sometimes, enemies come in the most unexpected forms. With each challenge we forge ahead, there’s always room for opportunity, especially amidst chaos. And with a new opportunity, a new leader assumes dominion.

The Progress

Image
  The Progess - Nu Jazz by JJFBbennett Intro: Under the canopy of night, the mega city breathes.   Its streets, bathed in artificial glow, stretch out, endless.   Bridges and towers, silent sentinels, stand tall against the darkness,   Their lights are a beacon for our weary souls wandering beneath them. Verse 1: In this city of dreams and realities intertwined.   Cars drift slowly, each a microcosm, each a solitary journey.   The horizon promises more of the same.  A continuation of the unknown, the unseen, the unspoken. Chorus 1: And the lights, they tell stories,   But from afar, they blend into a tapestry of light and shadow.   A cold, distant beauty,   Reminding us of the vastness we pretend to understand. The vastness. Cold and beautiful. Verse 2: The city hums, a melody of human achievement,   Yet within its pulse, the silent voices go unheard.   Each window, a world, ea...

Woman with Flowers in Her Hair

Image
  Woman with Flowers in Her Hair Dusk Vignette The twilight hour weaves its tender shroud across the decaying streets as the last remnants of day’s warmth surrender to the cool breath of evening. She stands in the dim glow of lanterns flickering like dying embers, a melancholic and wild vision. Her hair, crowned with roses and entwined vines, blooms defiantly against the weary, withering city that crumbles around her. Beneath the flowers rests a serene yet haunted face, as if sorrow’s soft whispers have painted shadows beneath her eyes. The world stirs in echoes of forgotten grandeur, and she, like some mythic sentinel of the earth, is at once the bearer of life’s vibrant colour and the solemn mourner of its inevitable decay, a living embodiment of the cycle of life and death. Here, amidst the ruins, she is both the flower and the tombstone, standing silent as the day’s final breath collapses into night. Yet, there is something eternal in her stillness, as if in her fragile bloom l...

Im Missing Out and Wide Awake

Image
  Out and Missing The city never sleeps, and neither do I. As the sun dips below the horizon, a different world awakens and pulses with an intoxicating mix of energy and mystery. I'm Missing Out and Wide Awake Poem The metropolis lights flicker. My wide eyes. My racing pulse. I'm in fear of missing out. But when stillness descends. I am fully awake. Description The city never sleeps, and neither do I. As the sun dips below the horizon, a different world awakens and pulses with an intoxicating mix of energy and mystery. Nighttime in a mega city is a spectacle to behold—neon lights cutting through the darkness, the distant hum of traffic, and the allure of something always happening just around the corner. It's in these moments, wide awake and watching the city unfold, that I feel alive, and yet, there's a nagging feeling of anticipation as if I'm missing out on something intriguing.

Blue Night Dreaming Melbourne

  Blue Night Dreaming Melbourne Cover Blue Night Dreaming Melbourne Melbourne City comes alive under the night sky with illuminated streets, bridges, and buildings. Cars move slowly, each one heading to unknown destinations. The city buzzes with activity yet remains unaware of the individuals it shelters. Each light in every window tells a story of a life being lived, but from a distance, they merge into a pattern of light and shadow. The scene's beauty is undeniably a reminder of the vast unknown lurking beneath our constructed realities.

A Blue Future

Image
  A Blue Future Melbourne City comes alive under the night sky, with its streets illuminated by artificial lights. The bridge and glowing buildings cut through the darkness, reaching toward a horizon that offers more of the same. Cars move slowly along the roads, each one a small, isolated world heading to unknown destinations. The city, a symbol of human achievement, buzzes with activity yet remains unaware of the silent voices of the individuals it shelters. Each light in every window tells a story of a life being lived, but from a distance, they merge into a pattern of light and shadow. The scene's beauty, with its twinkling lights and lively energy, is undeniable. Still, it is a cold, distant beauty, reminding us of the vast unknown lurking beneath our constructed realities. Faced with such immensity, one can only embrace the absurdity, find comfort in the struggle, and continue the Sisyphean task of pushing the enormity of life to new heights.

Finding Self in the Cityscape

Image
  Mirrored Metropolis: Finding Self in the Cityscape Story: I am lost in the endless cycle of this cityscape, constantly seeing myself reflected in its modern shiny surfaces. The red traffic light blinks intermittently in a never-ending cycle, symbolising urban monotony. Taking a selfie, I see myself being captured in countless fragments, reflecting the driver, pedestrian, and street lamp. I am a quantified self, trapped in the repetitive narrative of city life. Each photo is a breadcrumb leading me back to myself. I am a loop within a loop, echoing endlessly in the digital corridors of eternity. To break free, I must acknowledge the prison of my own gaze. But for now, I remain trapped in the perpetual selfie of existence, a figure multiplied yet diminished. Just another form of content. Description: Dive into a visual journey where philosophy meets urban photography. "Echoes of Existence" is a series that explores the Sartrean concept of self through the medium of the selfie...

Midnight Passage Under the City's Skin

Image
  Midnight Passage Under the City's Skin As the couple walks under the city overpass, they feel the weight of existence around them. The oppressive surroundings of steel and concrete remind them of their solitary existence in the universe. They assimilate into the nothingness that threatens to engulf them with each step. The lighting casts their shadows as disjointed silhouettes, reflecting the disorganised nature of existence. They feel like objects in the enclosed space, and the unsettling realisation of life's inherent lack of meaning causes nausea. Poem: Living under the city overpass Living under the city overpass. A couple senses the heavy burden of their existence. Steel and concrete loom over them. Underscoring their isolation in the vast universe. With each step, they blend into the void. Feeling its engulfing presence. Shadows stretch into broken shapes. Mirroring the chaos of life itself. In this confined space, they are mere objects among objects. A nauseating epiph...

The Towering Towers of Makati

Image
  The Towering Towers of Makati The towering Makati buildings scraped the sky, their cold and chrome structure glistening in the tropical night. Their windows shone like stars, taking out the stars God put into the dark sky. Down here, people flow through the street, making busy hustle and bustle sounds. Makati throbs with a promise - good or bad, I didn't know - but it hooked me. The whiff of adrenaline-like risk and danger. My heart was beating faster than usual. Makati was alive and about to enter right into the thick of it. Walking the Dogs in Makati Makati Nights: City of Dreams or Dangerous Gamble? Description:  Feel the pulse of Makati's nightlife – towering skyscrapers, buzzing streets, and a thrilling sense of possibility.
