Eternal Life and the Total Self
Life is but a fleeting whisper echoing through time,
never dying, always being- magnificent and sublime.
The body's a receptacle, a superficial shell,
but in it dwells the gift of Soul; eternity knows it well.
The Soul contains the truths of life,
to all that's ever been;

I won't carry the labels, or walk around with the stigma.

I am an incomplete masterpiece, a beautiful disaster
I am the...

Total Eclipse of the SunTOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN
We watched horrified, awe-struck for hours while the sun died
Slowly, shorn of long golden locks, suffocated by the oncoming moon-rock.
Samson, blinded. His eyes ...

Total ControlDigital identification
We are puppets of their creation
Such is the twilight zone
Everyone on their phone
Becoming the slaves of each nation.
This poem written by a historic
Thankful to God to have lived
In another generation.
‘Long Live Rock‘n’Roll.’

Anger and pain,

Yet none may gain.

Total Lunar EclipseIt was a magical night
The sky was lit
By the glory of Luna
The full moon
Pondering this majestic night sky
I witnessed
The total lunar eclipse
The nature's grandest spectacle
The hypnotizing beauty in action
The dazzling scene
Of the blushing bride
Luna covering herself
With the charming reddish orange veil
The spectacular alignment
Of Sun, Earth...

Look so impolite, inhospitable and unfriendly?
Ask about it the happy inhabitants
or better look himself for what

Dramatic Verse
Solar-Lunar WonderUnder the broad sweep of endless sky,
In that rare and hallowed moment
When the moon, in audacious stealth,
Edges before the sun,
A quietude descends, profound and deep.
The air, thick with anticipation,
Holds its breath;
The earth, in its tireless orbit,
Pauses—in reverence
To the grandeur to which we all belong.
This...
