Choices and VoicesChoices my dear one,
So many choices,
So few voices,
Some near,
Some far,
Some to fear.
A path.
Clear and chosen.
The erasure of a closing.
The logos of math.
The trajectory of wrath.
The conciliatory legislation blindly ruling the cosmos of...

FlecksRepressed, sombre colours
weep a blurry sadness.
Melancholic, metallic hues
bite a frustrated, untouched lip -
silently surrendering
crimson, golden spheres of promise…
They dissolve, shrinking to watery flakes,
melting to a near oblivion.
Lyrics pin hopes on a pointless map,
touching tender triggers

One of the most evil things is ignorance and arrogance,

Erasure - Half AloneErasing half of you into another
Merging like flour into water
Swaddled in comforting love.

Staring through rain slicked woodland
Alone with the unknown world
Of leaves and fungus and dark earth.

Bildungsroman
"Bildungsroman"
childish things
become children
the sweetness

when the dream
in reality leaves them
to walk hand in hand
with the nightmare
of what becomes
us as adults
protagonists are
sometimes heroes
sometimes villains
inside us all dwells
a versatile shadow
we save...

Flowing gently under soft clean sheets

1000th Piece of My SelfI know I am counted
