(“The Particle In The Wave”, 2018, original encaustic) Down to Zero In the great equation of Life Everything eventually cancels out As it naturally balances And leaves us down to zero. From the perspective of static The dynamic is the illusion From the perspective of dynamic The static is the illusion. Buddhism with its notion of a final Nirvana Takes the former Taoism with its effortlessly...

With enlightenment, not inhalation, drawn from Jefferson Airplane's (Starship) 'White Rabbit.' written by Grace Slick Don't be suckered into that fairytale with the Cheshire Cat's grin and tail He'll lure you in and leave you frail To weep and wail To weep and wail If you're in the Red Queen's palace Don't sip from a golden chalice Her evil thoughts...

Early one morn, Alice spied a strange spaceship, Rocketing towards her, with a rabbit cracking a whip. In the blink of an eye, it landed beside her. Out popped the rabbit, yelling in a frenzied blur: "It's Time, It's Time, No Time to Waste;" "Space Time is Here! Let's bolt with haste." "We're off, to who knows when...

Your life is your life, don't let it be knelt down into dark silence, Be vigilant for the open paths, for the lights flickering in the distance, There may not be much light, but it shines brighter than the shadows, Stay alert, for the gods will offer you chances to shine like a lost star. Recognize them, seize them,...

Let’s pester Uncle Fester After dafter Luxon Pushed the button Welcomed every glutton To the isles of mutton Theme of the meme Team New Zealand It does seem No longer a Stronger eclectic sceptic Spanked by the rank Septic tank stream Peptic Pyramid scheme Thank the American dream Our rancour on social media Danker seedier leaders crimes Hanker for every greedier Rhymes with banker Sleazier golden geezer visas...

People wanted to see the view From halfway down This life their leading Down the wrong paths With the wrong map With shoes too big With rocks in the way Is tiring And I know somewhere There’s a place where People who didn’t want to Walk any further Told each other about What they saw From halfway down The river and the lake The mirror and the bathroom floor The...

Come on babes, lay your body down; I just want to make love to you So I can bring the feelings within out that you never thought you knew Saying our last good-byes as into the cosmos you and I fly as on you I ride No boundaries here exist as every emotion upon you my loving is...

When I see the darkness, I see the Qliphoth, Each shadow mirrors the fire I’ve crossed. A soul forged where mercy is lost— I rise from Hell with no fear of cost. They say I walk with devils and flame, That I’ve chosen a path of whispers and shame. ...

I lay down my thoughts like an endless river, as the sun sifts light at dawn, I wish for you to smile, untouched by memories, without my heavy shadow, without the burden. I see you walking down the old street in the sun, with ice cream melting on your fingers, Among those who never doubted you, with eyes...

it's as good an apology as I'll ever get. Red-handed is a hard spot to be, but you deleted it quick. Although it had been there since March of '24, which just means your speed was relative to matters of impending consequence, not conscience. Rest assured as inertia, I think you got it before anyone could clock the line...

I’m thinking of a person Who is strong and resilient. Big in personality but size is small. When mad, they turn a green pigment. All is lost when anger worsens. Tantrums raging, escalating. Tired now, limbs in a sprawl. I’m talking about toddler phasing, A daily battle of exertion....

Down the aisle, a princess draped in grace, Tracing dreams upon silken white, A smile, a beacon of love’s caress, Yet shadowed whispers steal my light. Down the aisle, a tale unfolds anew, Of devotion woven, steadfast and bright, Where laughter dances, where grief holds true, Yet love remains, an eternal rite. As I gaze, your radiance near divine, Each step dissolves what once...

Dress Down Unseen Stay hidden, the world will devour. Take over your life with power. Live a simple life. Fade into the night. Don’t be a part of the drama and gossip. Stand alone without them. You have nothing to prove to no one. Don’t stand out in the crowd for fortune. Walk the narrow...
