Project the mind - it resonates with thunder;
Reject the mind - around you it burns.
Intrepid joy - impassioned restless wonder -
The heart-suffused and life-rich way to learn -
Intrinsic conflaggrations, hard to pity
Or to respect, or even yet to see -
The nature's splendor reaching into city
To render its inhabitants half-free
Until joy drops, and out appears concept
And meaning - this, if only for some!
And from beneath the axioms, a rocket
Ballasts into the space, explodes and is gone
And then - another time, another meaning,
The meaning is constructed from all sides
And forms the structure that informs the seeming
Which then becomes the vision of mankind -
And then come other meanings and perceivings
Constructed like dynamic SQL…
The culture deepens, thickens as it's dreaming
And builds to levels more removed from hell.
Why is February pronounced as if the r is silent?
I understand its plight
Screaming wanting to be heard
Part of the foundation
Yet consistently forgotten
It is not the r’s fault
Those in power demanded it’s silence
The sound when heard feels
Uncomfortable
Alien
Though if removed entirely
The same sensation returns
To be seen but not heard
To be foundational but never
Understood
Little r know this
Your purpose is in your
Uniqueness
Own it
Be proud of your place in this world
Nothing is ever by chance
On the 7th day of Christmas
it was new year’s eve,
and on that midnight 2025 ended
- just like that -
with the poof of fireworks.
Did we have to rush right into 2026?
No. We could have talked about it,
and come up with a better alternative.
We’ve all seen money
- you know, dollars, euros and pounds - right?
Those little pieces of paper have no intrinsic value
- we all just agree on their worth.
We should've channeled that extrinsic power and agreed on something else,
Like deciding that the year after 2025 would be 2029.
You know, the midnight when 2025 ended - poof - 2029 could’ve begun.
We’re all adults - must we amortize this horrible mistake we made?
Think about it - Donald Trump would’ve been out of the White House in days.
Or is it the ‘Trump-Gold-House’ now?
It’s hard to keep up with CrAzY.

Intrinsic Motivation
The cogs to elevation
To tick over, over and over
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock
To peserevere, persist and permeate
Whatever life may throw
To ride the highs and lows...
To ride the wave...
Till a perfect storm of dastardly acts
A elephant short of a circus
Came home to roost.....
An existenstional crisis
Pause...........
Pause...........
To begin anew
Love is the unconscious piano,
Which provides rhyme and rhythm to the heart;
It is the pendulum which aids the velocity of the heart;
It is the eyes and mirror which acts as a navigation,
And checks and balances to the heart
Love is the fountain which Waters the heart,
And like the fresh fall of morning Dew which nourishes nature, prevents the heart from dehydration and atrophy
It is the unquenchable ink which fuels the heart;
As fertilizer acts as catalyst to the soil
Intrinsic love is the food basket which feeds the heart,
And prevents it from famishing.
Intrinsic motivation
The cogs to elevation
To tick over and over
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock
To persevere, persist and permeate
Whatever life may throw
To ride the peaks & troughs
Till a perfect storm of dastardly acts
A kangaroo short of a circus
Came home to roost
An existential crisis…
Begone…asap
To begin anew
Intrinsically motivated
Circulating fear,
spiritual retreat,
sepulchral silence,
manifestations of the soul
Causality before truth
truth before causation
Universal in transference
inextricably defined
An atom of veracity
a little bit pregnant
Plato through Lewis
—reality entwined
(Rosemont College: October, 2022)
Stained glass
Bleeds rainbow
Over dust particles
Of sun
Rains colour
On my head
Deep organ
Fists slam
Feet stamp
Pounds music
Vibrato
Rattles my stomach
Voice booms
Speaks words
Incomprehensible
To ears detached
From reality
Sadness, gaiety,
Melancholy, questions
Happiness, silliness
States of mind
Suddenly
Devoid of meaning
And feeling
Intrinsic
Disconnection
Submersion
In experience.

Appreciating the flames and fire colors of fall beautiful picture
Listen, can you hear the melody the storm play
The leaves dancing in rhythm with so much ease
Sing me a song ... before the light of the day disappears

Intrinsic Fear
I crossed the old threshold
This new familiar home
The days turned into night
I turned to flight not fight
Then I heard his voice, a voice
From long ago…
Who knew you were he
I never was so bold
When faced with disgrace
Of the intrinsic fear of old
His voice told me to stay
To learn his gift of sway
It came as a surprise
When I looked into his eyes
And saw a girl, a girl from
Long ago…
I tried the vision to go
But I didn’t want her to know
The truth that stung her eyes
When we fell from ancient skies
I thought we cried a long,
Long time ago…
I

Within your love temple, our pure passion is known…
Within your love temple our, seeds of desire are grown…
Within your love temple, wisdom of silent stillness is shown…
Within your love temple, I can taste your presence…
Within your love temple, oneness is our energy essence…
Within your love temple, gained knowledge of thoughts creative relevance…
Within your love temple, empowerment comes from the implicate truth…
Within your love temple, healing hurting perspective, systematically savagely soured during youth…
Within your love temple humanity releases suppressed rage…
Within your love temple, rebirthing freeing from instilled fears cage…
Within your love temple we turn the new chapter’s page…
Embracing one another in love, manifesting the golden age…
Mild to wild wind storm.
Narrow visibility.
Intrepid Intrigue!
