“As melancholia replaced the jarring of my invention, I sat.Unable to breathe in the smog I had created, unable to stand on my betraying legs, unable to howl at the heavens over my sordid soul.In this inferno, I became paroxysmic, my self-hatred, superparamount, numbness dulling the agony of such a devilish act,An iron curtain fell upon the surrounding world, or at least what I had left of it to be owned by the laconic eclipse.All the angels fled, disowning my prayers, the lurid world backed away, leaving me forsaken and detached,I could no longer hear the bombings, hear them fall, my own fabrication, only the dead air that came after, the intense silence.Cynical and paralyzed, I realized I had purloined a portion of Hell and given it to the unwilling Earth,Punishing those I had no right to punish, judging those I had no reason to condemn, destroying cities I had never set foot in.This is how I became Death, the destroyer of Worlds.”

Moonshine Noire“The ocean cradles the bloodied moon in its aquatic arms like a mother holds her crying babe.”
Moonshine Noire“A radiant full moon of silver hangs in the black sky, between the veils of misty clouds.”
Moonshine Noire“I could be the ceaseless mist that fogs your colourless eyes when you're lost in your universes.”
Moonshine Noire“She loves filming and taking photographs. I can imagine her making beautiful films in France or India or somewhere with a gorgeously colourful culture. She somehow reminds me of my favourite place in the world, she and Paris I can romanticize and immortalize in ceaseless poetry for the rest of my life.”
Moonshine Noire“I could be that tenebrous enigma that floods out your words with sighs and frustration.”
Moonshine Noire“All suffer and none should have to. But why not? If suffering makes life seem more real or more abstract, both circumstances are infinitely more bearable than the disturbing reality of mundane work-to-live-then-die-bored life.”
Moonshine Noire“The locals died and shrivelled with the autumnal leaves as their plastic, seasonal smiles faded with the last of the holidaymakers.”
Moonshine Noire“I could be the drumbeat in your chest like madness before a storm swirling restlessly.”
