Lyrics fluidly written,
Perfect...

Poetic Encryption Like Ancient EgyptianPoetic Encryption Like Ancient Egyptian

Clarity unless poets put a mask on.

The Mask of TourmalineTwice the night had fallen upon a sleepless slumber,
Yet again awoken by winter when the third was three in number.

Conniving with that which shadows...

a dusty porch a rickety chair
the fabric of your dusky face creased

Original Mask of AlabasterA wince doth lurk wearing which wicked gaze,
Of conniving cast shadows ‘tween my windowpanes.
Gazing through the window’s diaphanous gelid glass,
I see a flushing fluorescent misty haze of frothy brass.
It floats aloft the frost of...

My Kundalini AwakeningPart-1: Preamble

Choices and VoicesChoices my dear one,
So many choices,
So few voices,
Some near,
Some far,
Some to fear.
A path.
Clear and chosen.
The erasure of a closing.
The logos of math.
The trajectory of wrath.
The conciliatory legislation blindly ruling the cosmos of...

Slashed at the throat a blow aimed not at the esophagus but at the vocal cords
Paralyzed by something worst than fear,
Speech grows limp even as silent screams are constrained by shame’s chord.
Tethered like...

Oceans and WindsOceans and Winds
I have an obsequious unnatural inclination
To sustain my external compulsions
And convert them to a pre-text of a sub-text
Of instantaneous conclusions
Bi-Partisan confusions, melted humans and rheuminations
We seem to be caught up in the...

Narrow dirty streets with cobbles
And loud cartwheel din

Large families sharing one room

Time Signatures WaltzMoving through the pulse and the flow
A timetable of fixed dilation
A given

Ellipse
To the people it trips
As they ride the crest

Never pretending to be
Anything more
Born into...

Of repairing any gadget
Can do so with anything
Except repairing himself.
He can service the lot
Except his own...
