A profound search for meaning...

The cradle of life swings back and forth. These torturing memories I silently recall. A taste of sudden fear, to numb my sins. Violently eager, to conquer my whims. Capturing the moment with a fluttering blink, Flushing out blight, to rise from the weak. Paper hands made from sturdy oak trees, A core so strong, it defeats the disease. Haunted dreams, uneasy and unwell, Afraid to wake up, too scared to dwell. A rusted watch to tell the broken time, The wrath of Cronos echoes his prime. Lucidly walking into the unknown, Facing the void, yet still all alone. A final wish to live a heartbeat, Revived in spirit, I rise to my feet. Mike Tragas 2024/09/25 Chania, Greece

  A Mother’s Influence  Clock’s ticking, birds fly - into the horizon - they are hugging the sky. To listen, to observe, to think, to preserve, to create a mythical stellar dream where he can summon radiant unicorns, and like the stars - to endlessly gleam. Time passes, a boy turns into a man, he loves his mother, and she loves her son. The dark spirits have spoken, he got his heart broken but they couldn’t harm him, his mother nourished his soul, she showed him the way, she became his lighting shield. They never expected to fight a man as strong as him, she taught him to be brave, for the day he would give his precious life, and the whole world he would redeem. Behind every strong, honest, and courageous man lies a strong and caring mother. She sacrifices a part of herself to see him flourish, to become strong, like his father. And when he claims his throne and finds his queen, she is still there to protect him, the mother of the king. Mike Tragas 2022/05/29  Chania, Gr...

  When you reach rock-bottom, when your soul cries, Life stops vibrating; everything vivid in pain dies. Filthy dark entities knock at your door, You refuse to open, but they break in, causing mayhem. They enter your lizard brain, with no mercy at all. Now you're a slave to them; down on your knees, you crawl. “You’re not good enough, you’re a failure, you’re nobody.” These voices change your perception. The downfall begins. You want nothing, no one, anything but to lie down and sleep. You beg not to wake up; one more day alive hurts deep. Stuck in your own tiny space, thoughts of death quickly arise. You want to escape from yourself, the self you despise. You are afraid of being alive, but not of death. No one cares about you—alone until your last breath. Life becomes meaningless, love dies, you feel sick. You can’t take it anymore, stuck in this loop till you die. Mike Tragas 2022/01/20 Sweden, Stockholm

  History has repeated itself once more, and I have witnessed it all. They grew afraid of the limited human forces that threatened their survival. Instead of trusting themselves, they rushed to rely on soulless, evil fiends. They fell for their lies, were fooled, yet would never admit it. Fear led to cowardice, and thus surrender to the evil forces. They were promised freedom, but the promises hid greedy intentions. Despair was visible through their dangerous and piercing eyes. If you got carried away and agreed to inject their poison, it would paralyze you. The weakness of one man would envy the strength of another. Blame, greed, anger, and hate ignited a fire that could burn it all. They claimed to care, but arrogance had blinded them. Pathetic liars with no sense of empathy, they thought they were heroes. Brave humans were threatened with death if they didn't succumb immediately, But they didn’t give in to the madness; they fought for their freedom. Separation would bring an end...

The sacred consciousness of the projected starlight mirrors his soul. Cuddling the ethereal magnificence of a lifeless shadow, once alive on Earth. To him, it’s all familiar—the harmony of existence and the melody of his heartbeat. He’s been here before, seen it all, but there is no elixir for consciousness, he knows. Seasons come and go, and so does he, in different forms, shapes, and sizes. He loved women, and he loved men. He loved them all, for he was not always a man. Solitude reminds him of the old days of war, where he was a soldier. He killed and was killed with honor and respect, until his last breath. They asked him to share his story. He refused. They didn’t deserve to know then. Knowledge without experience turns one arrogant because fear is ever-present. Emotions are temporary. He has no need for them, knowing they make him weak. He observes souls trapped in madness and despair, but he knows there is nothing to do. They would call him crazy if he offered help, for they are...

Throw away your life force, and you have sinned. Gratify your lizard brain with your weakness. Give your freedom away for an illusion. Surrender to addiction, suffocate, and die. Pity yourself for going through hard times. Explain yourself to death, so he can claim you sooner. Be ignorant, be fragile, and surrender to flesh and bones. You are feeble now, again, for you have sinned. A lifeless body wandering into the unknown, Searching for meaning, for an escape into the void. Adversity offered life, but the fairytale was chosen instead. Fallen into oblivion, again and again, until the battle is lost. The sheep have rules, and they follow the shepherd. But for the sinner, there are no rules, only gratification. To trade a life of wisdom, sincerity, and honor for pleasure— Is to surrender to another ecstatic dimension: the devil.

    Born in the wilderness of a cruel and chaotic world, He was raised to be quiet and take it all in. A strong paladin with a soft heart, Enters the void and slays the demons. The boy dies; a King is born. Fear is forgotten, doubt has vanished. Malevolence, greed, and fear are gone— A strong man is a dangerous man. Dignity lies within him, yet he feeds it—if he must. Resilience solidifies his being; he is unbeatable. He follows his fortune if he must; he kills. He is a king, a poet, a lover—a beast. Mike Tragas 2021/04/30 Sweden, Stockholm

You look around and see the matter, Then close your eyes and feel the void. Your body speaks, orchestrating a symphony— The whole universe operates through you. The sea breeze gently touches your cheeks, As your eyes gaze towards the blue sky. Emotions arise—laughter, and a sense of gratitude. Consciousness is vibrant, and pure is your soul. You breathe deeply; you inhale life. You lick your lips; you taste life. This moment, this time—you are everything. Your existence is the magic of life. Mike Tragas 2021/02/18 Sweden, Stockholm

The woman is growing wiser, the woman stands up with resilience and dignity. Her attitude towards life is the antidote to eternity in this chaotic world. The necessity, the harness to expand in the physical and spiritual realm makes this woman unique; this woman embraces infinite immortality. The years are passing by, each day on earth gives her gratitude. To read, to listen, to observe, to be kind, to be generous, to be thyself is all that it is to get one step closer to reach spiritual enlightenment. Life on earth was not a random decision but a pre-planned journey. You can see the reflection of a human by the way she treats animals. She pets a cat, she saves a life, she pets a dog, she gives a new home. The awareness and responsibility if not exhaustion to keep them alive by indulging her time and putting so much effort to save innocent lives. She is also a mother, a caretaker, a home, a place where the family enjoys freedom. To virtue of raising humble children in this ...

Dear Darkness, When you first came into my life, I felt helpless; I felt scared. My inner world fell apart every time you would come. I felt lonely, frightened and you were always there to show me how powerful, and important your existence was. We fought, we argued, we blamed each other but in the end, we came along. In the shake of my loneliness, I had to welcome you to gain at least a friend. Then I saw you crying, I had never seen so much pain in your eyes, darkness. We hugged each other like best friends and since then we are inseparable. When you visit me, my spiritual being rises to the top, where you lie and all of my fears and expectations are crawling to the surface. The poet inside me wakes up, your friend is here darkness and now he can express himself; he can be thyself, he can be one with you. Years passed for me to realize how significant you are, you made me strong and I am not afraid, not anymore. The most important welcome in my life w...

         We are being absorbed in technology, modern robots of a poor civilization. Discovered so many things through history but now we are diving into an obsession. We got somehow connected with boats, planes, social media, and our phones but in the meanwhile we forgot ourselves, our hearts turned to stones. At school, we learn mostly unnecessary things that won't ever be needed, So many hours wasted away while we could have been spiritually seeded. They say knowledge is power and I don't mean in any point to disagree but what about meditation, self-questioning, self-realization, it's all free. We tend to idolize people who act, write, sing, or are talented in their way but they are usually not happy, something is always missing, needless to say. We have no time for ourselves, to explore the reason we are brought here, think of nature, the sky, the beauty of this planet, the rain, and shed a tear. We are fully scheduled to do things that will cov...

We are numbers in their eyes, big corporations, big lies. Money temptation, eternal suffocation. They give you a job, you think you are lucky, you start work, you are not happy. They are raising their voices on you but don't react, down with your head, you are a slave, it's a fact. They offer you some money for your hard work and you are buying things to forget , but you forget the clock. They are violating your soul, you go home broken every night Another living dead human being they have destroyed, goodnight. So you wake up and getting ready to go and work again, a vicious circle it is and you have lost something, your brain. You serve your customers and you are their slave, for you have to be so, otherwise you are not brave. And if you are not brave and can't accept this, you will get kicked, but no worries they will find another soul, you were not picked. Picked for no reason for you are nothing but a piece of their game, fool your customers, tear yourself apart and d...

              Golden woman with the golden soul, happy birthday may i say and fall. Your kindness, your warm heart and your beautiful smile, tonight i will call. The flower inside you, the flower you are, the earth's shining star. Rise and shine into the horizon for i need you tonight, you are my earthstar. The way you look at me in the eyes, it's curing my heart with butterflies and the way you kiss, makes me feel calm and all i can feel is eternal peace. Every moment spending with you is special, it is for me something essential. You can call it awareness or as you want but only you have the credential. You are a gift from god and god makes no mistakes, so listen to me. Let yourself be beautiful and rise to the sky, find your star and dive. Show the universe who you really are and don΄t be afraid, i am with you, live your life, live your dream, open your heart and you will see, god knew. Miracles don't happen day by day, they are chosen for some r...

I owe an apology to my beautiful body for carrying all this weight, please, forgive me, for not controlling my emotions. I didn't listen to you but you didn't leave me. All these sleepless nights you were there doing your best to keep me alive and healthy but i was too blind to see what you are going through, i wanted to become rich and wealthy.  I suddenly realized that i had been out of  control and  i was surrounded by negative energy but now i feel greater than ever, i am strong, enlightened, i am the brightest star in galaxy. How could i hurt you that bad by poisoning you with toxic food and make your organs bleed? I guess i was too busy finding happiness in wrong things, in soulless materials i don't really need.  Here i am tonight, after a good sleep and a clear mind writing to you for the first time, for now i realized that you go through all this with me and you are always there, anytime. You've got to take care of eighty six billion neurons in ...

Some days I feel bad, some days I feel good but I am sometimes of myself misunderstood. I am neither happy nor sad, I just miss my family, my brother, my sister, my mom and dad. Life is tough when you are alone, far away from your loved ones but just on your own, you fill yourself with new experiences, new friends, new events but you are still a lonely pawn. I have to work day and night to keep myself warm and food on the table, I am a tough guy and many people around me are laughing not knowing I am a free bird, and free birds fly. So I don't choose to be lonely but I choose to be free and you can either agree or disagree, but you have your own journey, your path so tonight I am giving you a piece of my art. As a writer I shared my feelings this night, I expressed myself, I wanted to write. The loneliness is fading away and now and everything around me seems to be bright. There is nothing to worry about, there is no loneliness and there are no problems left. Thank you for sha...

I can feel your emotions; you don’t have to explain. I can share your thoughts; we are on the same train. When you smile, I smile. When you cry, I smile. I stay strong, even if it hurts, because I know it’s worthwhile. The memories we’ve built together won’t ever vanish. Our friendship is made of these, and friendship can’t perish. To be a friend is to be loyal. It takes years—and thus, many tears— But together we stand strong and eliminate our darkest fears. I’ve been there for you; I’ve seen people come in and out of your life. I’ve suffered while people hurt you, while we were in strife. We’ve always listened to each other, without judging or criticizing. We gave up parts of ourselves to understand and rise together, realizing. I would give up more than I could if I had to save you, my friend. Because you are a big part of my life, a piece with no end. All I want to say is thank you for being there for me— As a brother, as a friend, I will always help you feel free. I am you...

  His first name was Aaron, his second name Justice. He carried a sword made of steel and grace. His strength was beyond all a man could imagine. He was raised to fight for his people, for their lives. They called him the blessed crusader of the golden kingdom he was protecting. His family, he would defend—brothers, sisters—until his death. He was a hero. When the night fell, he would pray, When the day came, he would fight. When the battle was over, he would thank God. And after thanking God, he would train for hours. He trained like a dragon, but even the dragon’s flame couldn’t stop him from bringing victory. Aaron was the god of the warriors, but that came at a cost—he never had a family of his own. As the guardian angel of the golden kingdom, he dedicated his time to protecting his people. He trained the soldiers, farmers, and women, so they would be strong when his time came to die. As the years passed, Aaron became weaker. His strength abandoned him, and he fell ill. H...

Religion is something that was created by humanity. Humanity will never understand the reason why. Why is the reason we are killing ourselves and others. Killing ourselves to understand the incomprehensible. The incomprehensible is where the fear strikes. The strike of fear is harmful as poison. Poison is something  green but also toxic. Toxic can be our life, if we don’t accept the presence. Accepting life can be beautiful and scary. Scary it is but stars are there to shine. Shine is what stars do to give us light. Light is bright and it makes us feel peaceful. ~Peaceful~ is a feeling we can feel in our life. Life is a short journey that we have to fulfil. To fulfil our life means to love and be present. Be present is to be alive and feel our existence. Existence is now and will always be there for us. Us, me and you and everyone, we are immortal. Immortal is the soul we are, not the soul we have. We have a body that includes a brain and it’s terrific....

                                              I am feeling so happy to be alive and to experience this short amazing path of life. It’s so great, I can’t even describe it with words but I can share my feelings. Every breath I take fills me with energy and with this energy I create love. Today it feels like summer while the setting sun is reflecting from the windows. There are no negative thoughts to take place but only by pure existence. I can see in every entity the spark of their flaming hearts, it’s so magnificent. The main reason we are alive is to love. It's the key for us to live a happy life. Love is found in everything but to find it, you must first, love yourself. When you love yourself, everything you want is getting attracted to you. Things go always good because you accept them as they are. Whoever judges, blames, is angry, or expressing any negative emo...

                                                                        It’s five o’clock in the morning, but I am up since 4. The sky is covered in the dark, the night is still on.  The alcohol is floating in my veins, trying to find a way to escape. This bittersweet exhausting feeling, this pain in my head. At the moment I can see, I can feel, her strength gave up on me, she opened the door and left. She was innocent as a bird, trying to fly over the world. She wanted to breathe in life, she wanted to breathe out love. I always had to be the‘strong’ one, but we both suffered. The world for us was something hard, so we held our hands together. It may sound sweet and it was, it was. I could always feel this spark with her, I felt safe. I could write for hours this painful night but I won’t. I wil...
