The Alchemist's Lament
I spake: "Thy love's grief dwelleth in my core,
A breast brim-full with sorrows, evermore.
So long as in my head thy tumult lies,
Vain phantasies I bear, by nights, by sighs.
An hundred years have flown, yet not thy grace;
Save grief of parting, naught is my embrace.
In vigil lone, my heart with blood was stained,
By rival's tyranny, in

Heartbroken
I trace your absence
In the hush of midnight’s sigh,
your laughter haunts the empty air,
Each whisper a wound and a lullaby.
My tears fall like silent art,
A testament to love that burned too bright—
But in this echo of shattered dreams,
I feel the strength within the sting.
Fragments of us remain

We Were Never 'I'
Within this sanctum
of breath and bone—
ten trillion anchorites
mimic their devotions.
Bacteria threading
blood’s vermilion rivers
braiding holy water
into the cathedral
of now.
Their alchemy transmutes
starlight
into the wine of existence—
decanted
from Orion’s mythical vine.
Viruses—
those threshold wraiths
between being
and unbeing—
inscribe new verses
in the living gospel
of our chromosomes.
Fungi a cappella
in mycelial tongues
through marrow’s moaning chambers
decomposing resurrection
from each small death
we die.
We are not hosts—
but cantatas
still composing

GOLDEN ALCHEMIST
You came for me and I am still flourishing
Obstacles were once on my path now they they are destroyed in my favor
How funny it is to be a golden alchemist
cycles of depression and suffering I transmute so quickly and masterfully
into more of my blessings, I keep on growing and I keep on flourishing
how funny

Reclaim Resilience
"Reclaim Resilience"
In the quiet hum of life’s retreat,
I found my strength beneath my feet.
A sailor's heart, a gentle soul,
Whispers of purpose begin to unfold.
From seas and skies, I learned to see,
The dance of life in harmony.
Through yogic breath and ancient lore,
I

The Alchemy of Truth a song
[short instrumental intro]
[thick bassline]
[energetic beat]
[verse 1]
The alchemy of truth,
may be from a particular perspective,
or colored by youth,
and sprinkled with objective.
For your truth can hold your own view,
your lens through which you see the world.
[verse 2]
And naivety can lead astray,
reality fall subject to that doom.
And you may not have the ability yet,
to completely read the room.
When

The Alchemy of Peace
In halls where knowledge blooms, a seedling grows,
A tender shoot of peace midst tomes and chalk.
Through corridors of learning, empathy flows,
As minds unlock the power of kind talk.
Yet violence lurks, a shadow in the light,
Its tendrils reach for the fragile stem.
But education stands, a beacon bright,
To nurture understanding's diadem.
Oh, how we tend this garden of

Alchemy of Seaglass
In the palm of nightforest and rain
I leave imprints on sands ,
my flesh baked by the elements --my nipples and breasts darting towards the sky in full radiance of an alchemy,
where this womb in pure sheen becomes a cradle for ancient offerings:
tangle of thistle and roots sprawl on my bodice , glossed

Alchemy
With an ethereal elegance
Building blocks of native and alien elements
An almost supernatural air of eloquence
A medium in it's patron's hands
Suddenly will gasp and shudder
Just as time was borne of sands
A flame in it ignite and flutter
A rare and curious thing to witness
A something out of nothing
Brought into existence
But none are quite as shocked

Alchemy
I ease into the moment,
Breathe it all in.
My environment expands,
Provides all I need.
I bathe in the opportunity to continuously receive.
I longer talk myself out of my desires,
My most precious needs.
Steadily present in this very moment,
I feel just how rich my life is.
I ask for what is wanted,
Sifting through the contrast that is life,
Seeing the

Poetry is a drug, mixed in the alchemy of the night
Poetry is a drug, mixed in the alchemy of the night,
An elixir of never-ending dreams, the bitter drink of wandering souls,
Poured into the empty goblets of thirsty minds,
And it flows, softly, through the veins carrying the sap of unspoken desires,
A sweet poison that opens gates to hidden worlds.
With every swallowed word, I lose myself in

Paradise Is Falling
the lawns are strewn in paradise
roses stained, unsweetened
beauty is bleeding
can we lick these festering sores?
my days are alchemy
as I exhaust to turn a gold
and paradise is falling
