The sounds from the woodwork shop kept pounding in my ears, drilling  and knocking from the timeless machine spilling irritating sounds into solid air. I zoom them out as I walk about but the...

Nope! I haint gonna crack'n on the heat... just yet
until the cowed chickens come home to roost!

Sunlight streaming thru window
body electric of mine doth whet
begets hardiness to acclimate
against PECO shut off threat

The inerrancy of the bible enrages me, 
Boils my blood, riles me and angers, 
Makes the interpretation prerogative limp, 
Nullifies that interpretation bud passed onwards, 
From every author who’s not embarrassed. 

You read knowing the...

Torah: Black Fire on White Fire, A Nafka Mina

Every Place, every Space,
In ink, 'tween signs, ‘tween lines,
Everywhere He, Where are we?

Ask, "Mi Hashem Aylai?"
Not, "What's in for me?"
Descent from Kedushah is "I"

Ego, Ugly Mess, Rears...

Sunrise, Oh aural hymn of spirituality,
Vibrant in it’s splendour and magnificence,
Sending nocturnes to daytime slumber,
Bathing life to a yawning earth.
 
Piercing the day’s birth with colours and hue,
The Master’s tableau, a glorious canvas,
Fiery paints, swirling...

Scar-like Healings
               by Odin Roark

Scar laden perfections
Where life's training wheels balance
One's child-like trust
Adolescent-like daring
Adult-like intemperance

Scratches
Bruises
Broken bones
History's incidentals heal easily

While

Challenges of the...

When I'm Gone

 

Will you get to know me
When I'm gone

After endings evolve into
New beginnings
When questions cease to arise

What is it about another's presence
That so often dissuades inquiry

What is it about knowing someone
Up to a...

Where diamonds shape a lantern
harlequins are taunted in jest,
which inaugurates the conviction
attracting an upheld stance.
They stare like a drastic mistake;
thinking it was a corn snake.

Warily, from side to side, surprise!
one way or the other fully...

Waves of freedom

Please sit quietly with me and watch the rolling waves
Listen how the other end of the earth brings rhythm
Synchronize your body to flow with the tides
Is there a cadence that will resign your...

All have to depart
Sooner or later
None stays forever 
Key is to master Exit Art

Soul sans body
Continues Divine journey
Revisits earth in another body
To mitigate balance 'karmas'

Birth-Death cycle continues
Till 'Karma'* balance nullifies
Soul then loses
It's identity to Nothingness

You...

Keep inventing, strive for more
Create past the point of boredom, it's all from the core

The great wall, a human invention, can be seen from space
An ancient civilization made that impact, why stop striving for the...

There are those who say the moon has no voice
That it hangs alone in icy silence
Mocked by the twinkling of jealous stars
A corpse illuminated by cold darkness

The Werewolves would argue in her defense
For without her...

Timid upon standing
Flailing at equilibrium
with outstretched fingertips
Desperate to grasp that which is unattainable
for now and conceivably forever

Anguish consumes the frontal cortex
as the lower brain pulls the strings emphatically
Enlightenment is thwarted by an insatiable thirst
for pleasure...

Pondering as one does

With nothing else to moan about

The meaning of life

I needed a metaphor to use
for inspiration

Until i came across

Schroedingers cat

Visualising the old t.v test patern

And wondered is if the freshly cleaned
litter tray put...
