My pretty damsel, my dear
she said with her alluring lips
in a tease, with a playful tug on my heartstrings

Can't decide if there's anything ever  worth sayin'
Done a lot in 23 years but feel like I've done nothin'

Killin' time in Vietnam people watchin'
Seeing the way these ppl...

My eyelids are taut to their limit,..  I've blinked none. I lay half submerged on
the surface of lustrous glass, girded within withering arms of trees. 
Earlier I could feel the cold and placid liquid...

Her torment needs attention , care and buffering,

water weeps wildly
whilst washing away your
jesting foolery.
I saw the sun annihilated
	Against backdrops of liturgy
Lethargic activity that earns
	It’s title as the Earth’s endearing child

Baudrillardian Echo


I awoke this morning with a profound vision of a painting. 
A sort of Baroque ensemble of consequence, still lingering. 
I've put it to pen, since it's quicker than painting.  
The contortion of life...

Dawn upon my cloak 
Urged and so converged were the guns 
Seeding myself with the rest 

I broke in the eye of the Sun

Dear people,

A peacefully priced scheme to these rhymes confined for a time in a cursedly mind,

So labeled as we’re frowned upon
A glutton’s call, revolting resistance 
As normal a routine as the rising sun
Constant hunger, constant need
A daily struggle through history
Forever grazing, forever feed
With hidden agendas...

In, as & one with & within the sea of Oneness
Dissolved and yet in as ordained, distinct 
Pure love awareness in a boundaryless precinct

laissez-faire raptures.
Enigmatic silken piece compost ushered in by

Maverick antennae on a ...
