From Chaos to OrderAt first Chaos became from void borne,
And it stirred the primordial mass,
Before Earth or the Sea or the Sky,
Had a reason to moan or comply,
Then did emerge Ananke above,
Who did give a primordial shove,
Become inevitable to change,
So, the Earth and the Sky be arranged,
And then father time emerged from muss,
Fair Ananke said that there is...

White SupremacyGod said: “Go, and have dominion over the Earth”—
Not over each other.
But you crowned yourselves kings of skin,
Painted whiteness as wisdom,
And turned melanin into a mark of sin.
You called yourself the center of the world,
A lighthouse of reason—
Yet every stone of your fortress
Was carved from stolen hands,
And every beam of your empire
Lit with oil drained...

The Ancient OnesI felt the earth moving under my roots.
Very same feeling deep down as it was -
five thousand years ago when Flame Mountain
started murmuring and belching before.
It turned its anger on all of us
spewing a fire river of scorching lava
burning the brush to ash, darkening
all living things it touched in its flow.
They call me "Methuselah The...

Flower Chide VI, StemriseToward Scent fold’s vale they cleaved the green,
Where wind runs thick with things unseen.
“Is it justice you seek or just her place?”
Lotus said, his voice low, draped in grace.
The blossoms paused, their vows unsealed,
Each plucked petal quaking in truth revealed.
For in his oblique gaze, the mirror lay.
Become the wound or forge the way.
The wound was...

Flower Chide IX, Thornpact"Eons back, we feared the petal's grace,
called beauty pride, and named it place"
"Mistakes were made, but wisdom stayed"
said Thallorin,"not every path must be replayed".
Each bloom now understood, but still
Knowing alone could never kill,
The monster born from rootless scar
who thrived when petals turned to war.
So, stem by stem, with colors waned,
they sought the one their fear...

Flower Chide VII, PokenoseCaelith pulsed in the starless seam,
No warmth, just orbit, cold with gleam.
“Equality is just a myth,” it sighed,
“And safety, merely a dreamleaf dried.
A lull to cradle wilt and thrall,
For leaves too tender yet to let fall.”
Then Lily laughed, a sound half-sung,
Like petals bruised but newly sprung.
"If truth decays in myths you spin,
We’ll plant our wound...

Flower Chide V,PetalbreachHe looked at Rose not past, but through
And said, “What waits will change you too.”
She plucked out a petal and handed him.
It pulsed between the stem and rim.
Rose turned back with nothing said,
Her footsteps soft, like vows long shed.
Hence the petal breached and then it reached
A world where love lay bruised and breached.
A petalbreach chime...

Flower Chide II,the bloomquakeThey will not honor your fragrant breath
They’ll use it as ode, or veil, or death.
Not love, but lack—will wear your name,
Your petals will ache beneath borrowed fame.”
Lotus's voice now split Nefarys in bloom and bone
A bloomquake of breath from root to stone.
It hummed through husks and whisperseed dark,
Not all bent—but some curved toward the crack.”

Flower Chide I, The First WiltBefore soil met seed or the sun claimed the skies,
There bloomed Nefarys, veiled from mortal eyes
Here, blossoms rose from memory’s breath,
Unbound by season, untouched by death.
Tulip leapt bold with a whip of wild cheer,
While Sunflower spun where the sky poured clear.
Daffodil hummed where the stillness was deep,
And Marigold dreamed in the moon’s drowsy sweep.
Rose sat...

The Streets Of AtlantisClose your eyes
Relax and journey with me
Walk with me through the streets of Atlantis
Lost to us by savage time
Share with me the golden city
Watch the sun through the turquoise
As the people walk peacefully
This city should be a model for others
Full of peace, honor, and beauty
Sadly, what you are seeing is merely a dream
Created by your...

All in a Good Days Work
Sitting there watching from the corner of my eye
From my kitchen window, what did I see?
A leprechaun rolling his wheel barrow in his finery
Full of gold coins entering a black door
I looked around no one else was there
He shouted” give me my gold and I go”
“What gold” I shouted back
Or was he making it...

MirrorbreedMirror in the washroom, mirror in the hall,
who is the saddest, most tragic of all?
Me, me, me— our chant, our plea, our scroll.
We cry for heartbreak, curse what we recall,
mourn mood swings and childhood’s sprawl.
We share our feelings, raw and blatant,
talk as if we own sorrow’s patent.
An indulgent binge of trauma dumping
hailed as “growth,” with...

Hade's CallingShe appears like a quiet flow
of gentle timeless and pure glowing
show from a waterfall of sustenance.
Smooth skin, angelic sweet of a gift
touching my demonic diary memoirs,
frozen in time as the pages flicker
and re-writes like a newly pressed hand.
Her eyes a purity of splashes
of green illustrated
mesmerizes me
with a gaze loving
silk sown teasing dress,
fiery red silky worship
of...
