HER, INVERSE
With her...
Do you find joy where I feel only pain?
Are your thoughts of her gentle, kind, and pure,
While mine linger on what we can't be sure?
I’ll never know what she sees in your eyes,
What dreams you both chase, what love you disguise,
And though I will wonder, I’ll never find out,
For she holds your heart where

Eternity's Inverse
The blackest hole
of poetic intent
Light spinning inward
no chance of escape
Eluding the eyes
collapsing the meaning
Time in dilation
direction opposed
Energy waning
one word is emitted
Superpositioned
—the last dying star
(Dreamsleep: July, 2023)

The blue
it's not heaven
for those who are hungry...
The yellow one,
it's not gold when
the all is black...
The green,
it's not so green,
for those who live
in darkness...
the red,
not so much blood,
for those who live
bloodless...
The White,

Caramel Sky From Inverse Pole
Two heads live in hot and cold
Caramel sky melts, defy the horizon to sleep
Grass swings in melody of wind, yet, forbearing to hear a story of inverse pole
Through some scenery, we try to dip
My days hostaged by summer and heat
The caramel sky melts, defy the horizon to sleep
Sweats and manual fan are my daily treat
Having

Inverse Hope
INVERSE HOPES"
I am a helpless person with haunting memories
I can’t accept that,
I am able to erase its effect
I know
I can feel that pain
Tears flowing in the rain,
Years down the lane
Everything will vanish
Nostalgia of sadness
it is something that will never perish
I will show god
“Love is most beautiful feeling”
Is just a myth
Money is more valuable
I can bet

Love's Inverse
a shattered, inverting heart
a bleeding platter, raw with emotion
coveting (yearn to possess)
my whole soul
will heal and mend
what a contemptible serving
of sad hopeful things to say
to one's soul
when one is, all alone
do I, believe?
will I, believe ?
can I believe?
I lie to one's self
I lie!

Inverse Rorshach Test
The image, at a fourth remove, recalls a Rorschach test with inverse rule because instead of spotted ink on paper simulating flowers and/or butterflies here we have flowers and butterflies simulating spots in a sort of blurred space. My mind is puzzled by this strange test recalling times at school when I had to solve

Inverse
There's a lyric on your lips
and you're dying to sing
But you're sewn like a puppet
bound by a dream
Walking on a high wire
on the edge of insane
So high above the world
so buried by their pain
You're the bullet and the trigger
a product of
