I finally feel like AI has advanced enough to take on this endeavor. Thank you for the inspiration!
I’m going to be making all of the poems into AI songs. Starting from the first poem to the last.
Then I came up with the idea to work with AI to make a mantra that can heal and address the feelings I was trying to express in the poetry and make that into a song also.
For the first post I’ll include my first poem, the next post I’ll try to have most of them finished, or all of them finished.
Hope you enjoy!
First poem - The Quest for Truth (click to expand):
In this fractured illusion we’re confined,
Existing without emotion, lost in time,
Craving the thrill, that resolute elation,
Endlessly seeking true emancipation,
I seek to break free from this deceptive game,
To shake off the chains and reclaim my name.
But the veil seems to grow thicker every day,
And the spell tightens its grip without delay.
I struggle to see through the veil’s opaque shroud,
As the world around me becomes ever more loud.
Yet still I press on, determined to find,
The truth that lies hidden, elusive and unkind.
For behind the veil lies a reality true,
And I will break free from this spell, this voodoo.
A maze of walls, unseen and high,
Blockades that must fall before we die,
We destroy, hasten, capture and win,
For the battle of existence, we won’t give in.
Pushing past boundaries, passing every test,
We awaken and ascend, investing in our quest.
Frozen rivers dissolve in the darkest hour,
And celestial icons devoured by a power,
Abyss before us, what does it hold?
Shall we flee or be swallowed into the fold?
Illuminate the path, ignite the fire,
Take control, let reason inspire.
No longer dwell, begin anew,
Pursue a world that’s fulfilling and true.
Breathe, cherish, sense, and relay,
A life with meaning, each and every day.

Om bhur bhuvah svah tat savitur varenyam bhargo devasya dhimahi dhiyo yo nah prachodayat. Om tryambakam yajamahe sugandhim pushtivardhanam urvarukamiva bandhanan mrityormukshiya maamritat. Gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha. Om mani padme hum. Sarvesham svastir bhavatu sarvesham shantir bhavatu sarvesham purnam bhavatu sarvesham mangalam bhavatu.
Om namah shivaya. Om muni muni maha muniye svaha. Tasmayi shri guruve namah. Loka samasta sukhino bhavantu. Om shanti shanti shantihi.
