Author name: Hayden Veil

In an earlier incarnation, Hayden Veil enjoyed a successful career in software engineering, writing late-night poetry in pursuit of sanity. On 2 February 2020, the world of Hayden Veil changed: Ghosts became real and with its soul laid bare there was no turning back from the perpetual path of poetry.

freckle-less clowns

shade-less bulk of sunshine 

autonomous happiness in dreamless tents

ear-less music tilted

their eyes as dead as

freckle-less frowns

upon dampen

downs of

clowns – wavering

GOD without SNEAKERS

If there was a God

Listening

COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME TO SHUT UP!!!

I.LEFT.HER.BEHIND

sap.sipping

dripping

a.handshake.though.sloppy

my burning desire

my hands clutching

with HOPE

honestly

Ägg / Egg / trembling

An Easter egg came through the door

anonymous; sender undisclosed

My name in icing; bespoke design

No, not really, but the thought of someone

sending love through chocolate 

melts me

everytime

in tatters

I am not going to write about 

the things going on in my life

They are not friendly; user-friendly 

nor appropriate for a place like this.

There was sun today, I sat there for a while

contemplating the heat beating down

the vacation of thought, sizzling.

I wrote a piece last night, tagged with darkness

No one will believe those lies thoughts

that burdens me, …

The illness is no choice of mine

no trendy stage to spread my doubts

My wishes are small, and narrow, personal thoughts 

of safety, stability and loving

embrace; my hero.

The outcome of my stubborn thinking 

neither dark nor light the past is the present

you can share your thoughts as I share my misgivings

either way, the mill always burns down

the lady virgin dies and our 

sombre plans ends up in

tatters

Burning

She who gave Life, the Holy Mother

The Seer without Sight
The Dreamer without Doubt

I let Her down; again

With years passing

The innocense kept on digging

Digging deeper; a skyscraper inverted

A prodigal son

Lost in a fire burning fierce

A fire burning, burning without

tears

The Mother calling, expecting

Their eyes closed; wondering

The pyre smoldering

Ember dying

Slowly

My Love

No lemons left
No limes
Your bra; black lace; taken off
The
Thee
Therefore me; my and mine
Lusts of One
Desire-Less-Orgasm
Phantom-full-proess
I stand alone
You blank those eyes
I desired
You become
I rarely come alone
My Love

Ruin

I failed
An epic fail
I desired a week away with Her
She who Is – my weakness
Yet when the time came
I bottled
I kicked
I ran
An Easter weekend
Ruined

The fact that I’m still breathing should not be taken as a sign that I am living, but rather as an indication that I might still be alive

me // still breathing (via circle-no-10)

Lament – like treacle through my veins, an outpouring of perfection in thoughts obfuscated by a mind gone awry. Where once was solitude, now a raging storm.

Circle-no-10 // tumbling (via circle-no-10)

bang bang

I didn’t shoot her

There was no shooting

Only the silence, words to

acquire truth

From a set of scenarios

A yield of random answers

All false and thus

The bell of Death

Tolled
