THE BROKEN ONE - BY JRQC



Rage, sadness, solace, rapture, depression,

she falls into the pit over and over again,

and from the broken pieces she rebuilds herself... again...in pain?

off the disheartened broken sunset she feeds on the memories of his dwelling,

while a choir of voices is heard, in waves, free of pain.


Rage makes the soul walk in sticks, and softly bandages the heart

and the mind covers it in silk,

to better sense the reality in a soothing way,

where her deceiving soul and passion raise the flag of his heart.


Sadness, oh that ugly bitter one which marks the silhouette of the candle,

and causes havoc in the room of her solitude,

why should it stay with her when solace conforms her deepest desire,

is it not enough to witness her pierced heart bathed in the blood of sunsets and tears?


Rapture seems to have abandoned her with just a broken glass of wine,

have mercy on her, bathed her in petals I say!

yet no-one hears the clamour of her voice, my voice,

there is just solitude in the streets embalmed by yellow light,

yet the hearts of those who walk persist on walking the aimless path,

the ones filled with wrath,

and she is left there,

decaying along her flowers.

THE VOICE (of faith and evil) - written by jrqc (philosophical literature - fiction)

  THE VOICE (of faith and evil) "I believe the world itself can blind you with its banal sweet-honey taste, making you forget who you truly are. It's so easy to fall for it without even realizing about it. Sometimes I so hate it!" Thought he while staring at the gloomy morning that somehow felt as if carrying a burden of pessimism on its shoulders.  "I'd say that this world itself makes your spirit bloom in its rightful and truthful nature" a faint voice whispered, hollowed and distant. "Besides, what would you be if it wasn't for this world that you somehow have conquered and shaped to your own convenience?. This world, as you put it, has not left you out, furthermore it has complied to your wishes and whims". The soft tone of the whispering voice added. "There you are wrong! We know perfectly well that I am what I am through my God-given free will and that it is through HIS help that I have lived and experienced things out of HIS mercy s...

LOVE'S ROMANTIC DEATH - NARRATIVE / SHORT STORY BY JRQC

For Martin, the simple act of getting up was a powerful force that translated into the sensation of morning freshness, as if his existence depended on it. And it was not in vain. He embodied one of those characters capable of making the mind and body flutter, a whirlwind infused with passion for everything representing beauty. When his eyes directly met yours, you felt exposed, as if an eternal flame shone in his honey-colored eyes. He seldom directed his gaze towards people while speaking, but when he did, you felt at his mercy, as if his eyes penetrated the walls of your soul and heart, leaving you exposed. However, I don't complain, as under the shelter of his aura and words, I felt the comforting warmth of that fiery gaze. His gaze intoxicated me, his words bathed me. Yes, that's Martin. That's him, the one I fell in love with. For him, life was a feast offering delicious delicacies and pleasures which he indulged in without distinction or regret. His strength pulled me...

STATUE OF LOVE - poetic monologue by jrqc (stanzas, metaphors, symbolism used)

You banished me from the coldness of your embrace. Despite my begging and suffering, as I tore my ragged clothes in desperation, you showed no mercy and gave me none. My knees were grated and grazed from the harsh ground on which they stood. However, you, oh cold statue named Love, pointed your accusing finger at me, crowning my heart with thorns while exclaiming, "You, my child, the one who denied me! You, the one who refused my embrace! You ungrateful creature! You shall now wander the moors with pain in your heart and inhabit the shadows of my Love!" Despite the harrowing circumstances, my squirming soul persisted, and with what was left of my heart, I endured the pain. My teary, blurry vision became the prelude to new perceptions. But that was it, for I was scarred. I am scarred. I will be scarred, and no words, neither from that statue of Love nor yours, will provoke a change in the way things are. I have walked the moors, wept, and wailed throughout the vastness of the ...
