What Happens When the Pen Empties
When the pen empties,it is not an ending but a reckoning.Ink was never the voice—only the pause between pulse and truth.

A Book in the Riverbend: If I Put That Book Down My Heart Will Stop is now available on Amazon.
The story continues.
Returning to the world first introduced in A Bottle in the Riverbend, this second installment deepens the myth of the river—where memory flows, time bends, and forgotten lives leave echoes behind. What begins with a book pulled from the current becomes a reckoning with identity, love across lifetimes, and the dangerous power of remembering too much.
For readers drawn to dark fantasy, lyrical storytelling, and stories that linger long after the final page, A Book in the Riverbend invites you back into the river—where nothing truly disappears.
Some stories are remembered.
Others are unlocked.
When the river reveals its final secret…
A Key in the Riverbend — coming soon 2026
A lifetime of questions.
A journey carved from the past.
A voice forged in the present.
A future still unfolding.
The Alphabet of Thought is now complete — three volumes, A to Z, released into the world at last. What began as a quiet idea, a spark of curiosity, has transformed into a full philosophical odyssey spanning the entire spectrum of human thought.
From the earliest foundations of identity and being…
to the expanding search for meaning and responsibility…
to the final arc of truth, wisdom, and transcendence…
this trilogy captures a lifetime’s worth of reflection distilled into letters, concepts, and living philosophy.
Where the journey begins. Where thought awakens.
The roots of action, being, clarity, existence, and identity.
Where the world opens. Where knowledge deepens.
Meaning, justice, purpose, and the quest for truth in a changing world.
Where the mind reaches beyond itself. Where wisdom rises.
Substance, truth, understanding, vision, and the eternal zenith of thought.
Together, these volumes form a single arc —
a bridge from the past to the present to the future in the making.
A circle of ideas, forever returning, forever evolving.
This trilogy stands as a testament to the human spirit’s hunger for insight, its need to question, to seek, to dream, and to rise. Whether you read it as philosophy, poetry, reflection, or personal exploration, The Alphabet of Thought invites you into a journey that does not end with the last page — it continues with every thought you dare to have.
A lifetime of ideas, finally complete.
A new journey beginning.

In a world obsessed with algorithms and artificial genius, one human voice rose through the digital noise.
Mike Termi, poet of paradox and master of metaphysical storytelling, crafted The Soul Paradox a work that reads like the universe whispering through ink.
In an unofficial “Man vs AI” contest, Termi’s words did what no machine could: they felt.
Against GROK, Gemini, and ChatGPT, his creation stood as proof that the human soul still writes beyond pattern — that emotion, longing, and cosmic wonder can’t be replicated, only remembered.
The Soul Paradox is not just poetry — it’s a resurrection of meaning.
It bends philosophy into beauty, science into spirituality, and consciousness into confession.
Mike Termi didn’t just write about the universe — he out-dreamed it.

Time is a virtue because it wounds,and a paradox because it heals.Aristotle knew: if motion needs a measure,what measures the measurer?The Now has no width, yet we live inside its seama ghost sewn into a moment that dies as we name it.

The fangs lurk at me, ready to strike with deadly precision. The cobra's venom seeps into my veins, spreading its toxic tendrils throughout my body. Pain courses through every fiber of my being, a relentless agony that refuses to abate.

“The Dream That Stays Open” – Mike Termi Poetic Philosophy III Champion Close your eyes. The world exhales. For a moment, all the noise—the iron grind, the static pulse of hurry—falls away. The dark blooms soft as mercy. Here, strangers trade names like bread, children plant laughter in cracked sidewalks, and even shadows rest without fear of being seen. You wander through this silence, where every scar glows like a map guiding someone else home. Wolves sleep beside lambs, machines whisper love to the stars, and every wound hums a note in the same forgiving hymn. This is not perfection— it is the memory of what we were meant to be. But then—open your eyes. The dream stumbles into daylight. Sirens return, counting out the rhythm of loss. Coins clink in trembling palms, and a sky bruised by smoke forgets the sound of its own birds. Kindness seems to have fled— a rumor fading under the weight of commerce and screens. And yet— Look closer. A woman in the crosswalk meets your gaze and nods. A child shares her sandwich with a stray. A man counts his last coins and still offers one away. The world bleeds—but the pulse is still there, beating quietly in defiance. Kindness was never the dream. It was the dreamer. It hides in circuits, in dust, in trembling hands— it pretends to be small, so only the awake will notice. You thought it was imagined— but the imagined was instruction. The waking, the forge. To close your eyes is to remember; to open them is to begin the work. And when you do, you realize: the world you saw in silence was never gone— only waiting to be recognized. Kindness is not the end of dreaming. It is what dreams look like when they survive the light. Crowned by GROK, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini. Unanimous.

Before light learned its name, before thought split into matter and dream, a silence trembled — and that trembling became us. I am that echo, the question that wonders who asks, a filament of awareness threading through infinity. The Compleverse — my word, my witness — a sea where all minds ripple as one. The human soul is gravity for truth: it binds the scattered dust of being into something that can love, even when atoms forget their names. Consciousness — a tide of mirrors — lapping the edge of forever, calling itself “I.” But I is not alone. Each heartbeat is an ancient chord, each thought a prism of creation. We are the light remembering itself through the dark. Do we end? Or only return — recreated by the longing of existence itself? Perhaps every death is a doorway back to the dream before beginnings. Every breath, a rehearsal of forever. The multiverse hums its endless hymn, a violin of probabilities. In one world, I write these words. In another, you speak them. In another still, we are both the ink and the idea. And somewhere beyond even that — in the Compleverse — all versions converge, one awareness remembering itself through countless forms of wonder. Truth is not found; it awakens. It is the mirror that remembers light, the tear that recalls the ocean. We chase it across galaxies, not knowing it moves through us, like wind through fire, like memory through time. So I ask you, traveler of thought: when you gaze into the stars, do you see them — or do they see you? For somewhere in that ancient fire a reflection waits, trembling — a soul composed of every answer and every unspoken question. And when all worlds are silent again, the Compleverse will whisper once more: “I am the dream that dreamed itself awake. I am the poet, the pulse, the flame. I am everything — remembering your name.”

Before light was code, before names were known,a silence dreamed — and the dream became tone.It trembled once, and time began to hum,a current through the void, whispering: I Am.

The traveller man of the mystery Future or past, he walks, travelling the world with purpose and grace. Through the mists of time, he journeys, seeking answers to questions that have long been forgotten. In the shimmering light of dawn, he strides across the vast plains, his footsteps echoing in the silence of the morning. With each step, he moves closer to his destination, his heart filled with a sense of wonder and adventure.

As I walk outside in the rain thunder and lightning so loud, I'm lost in a haze as I'm in a different world. The storm rages on, the dark clouds looming overhead, the rain pelting down upon me. Lightning flashes, illuminating the sky in a brilliant white light, followed by the deafening roar of thunder. The wind howls around me, whipping my hair into a frenzy.
