surfing the bardo that lies in between
aether and form, wherefrom radiates grace,
existence reveals its throbbing bliss sheen.

a domain where ascent follows descent,

Once upon a tragic, forsaken love,
A wish miscued from somewhere above.
So incorrect, 
I could not detect,
Nor should expect,

Naive to...

An inverse baby kind of voodoo
Makes weak labeled sex...

It's so hard not to love you

Thinking back on life...
I think of you...
all my desires...
my dreams came true

Your innocence...

Consciousness distanced from fear and desire
Chooses in staid stillness to vaporise...

Each limited entity sings it's verse
But who we really are, we do not know
So let us find out together, in stillness slow

We are bestowed with senses five and mind
However, we are restricted...

She never understood before...
the damage it has done...
I hope some day she will...cause this isn't any fun.

We oft ask ourself, the purpose of life
For desire pursuit, makes us not bliss rife

Pause awhile to ask who in truth we are
Driven by instincts, we’ve drifted afar

Deadened to conscience, how will we reform 
Blind...

“I got this car, on my birthday,
What did you get?” Said the shade gray.
“Nothing too specific,” was my reply
Compared to the red Maserati with that guy
And this gave him another chance to sneer
Car keys in...

Awakened from my slumber
Every living night
Endless thoughts encumber
What I know is right

My mind is truly crowded
More and more each day
Before it gets all clouded
I need to slip away

Where could I go racing
Without misery and strife
Pain...

Smiling at you because you're holding the torch

Symbols of man’s innovations.

that of an angel.
Your giving soul,
of beauty.


My life,
in storm,
lost, 
adrift,

waves of dread had swamped me,
but you, a gift of beautiful,
a gift of rescue,
of buoyancy.
