Seeking Identity
(“Eye of God”, 2018, original encaustic/mirror mixed media)
Seeking Identity
Sometimes I seek an identity
Deeper than the one assigned by others
The loose and sloppy consensus
Of public opinion and perception.
Deeper still than the one I have created
For myself, through all I have accomplished
And gathered through experience
Reflected in possessions and preferences.
Deeper even than the composite lens
That everyone I know,

Seeking Out Tranquility
Seeking out tranquility
Transcendent information that allows the mind to be free
Interdependent adaptation that science ensures you see
Resplendent observations that you find only in your dreams
Ascendant liberations that teach you to believe
Applications of complications that see you need representation
Calculations of culminations that combine to give you resignation
Dedications of postulations which

The mechanism of seeking the connection
The mechanism of seeking the connection
Especially with motivational bias
Intrinsic or decoherent formation
The access levels breach by human mass
The mechanism of seeking the connection
Is due the common bias that supports
Desire for all process automation
The physical the fitness is the sport
The mechanism of seeking the connection
Whether desires of others shall we satisfy
The mass affect on psyches with

I fed my pride by killing loves, seeking refuge in the cold of my gaze
I fed my pride by killing loves, seeking refuge in the cold of my gaze,
And I accept the sentence of winter that embraces my soul with icy claws,
A jester to many, an inspiration to few, I was an actor on the gods' stage,
I comported myself both fearfully and nobly, seeking a truth hidden among the

Seeking closure
We seek wakefulness. What does Barbados mean to me? Is it the hot sun, broad-brimmed hats, and old khaki pants? It’s the robust men with warm, undertone skin that blends with the cultivated land. We seek constant reassurance from the ones we love that they will be there for us in good times and bad,

Did you know
Did you know
Out there across the world
There's beauty past your imagination
So much to discover
I want the tranquility
Somehow, someway
Vietnamese country side soothes me
No phone, a washed up relic
Drowned earlier on the trip
Mother was insistent on selling it
I said no
This is my device that shows my truth
A testament to my life
I was forced to before

In a sea of time, seeking happiness like a mirage dancing on the horizon
In a sea of time, seeking happiness like a mirage dancing on the horizon,
people confess their desire like a secret, like a confession in the night,
and in their words hides a trembling of the soul, a shadow of bitterness,
because happiness becomes a project, a fragile construction of dreams,
an endless quest, like a journey to a

Imbalance
Feet walking with direction and decision
Mouth speaking sweet words
Not riddled with derision
Heart beating for pure love
With no malice or spite
Eyes seeking and finding acceptance
With no attachment of wrong or right
Ears listening for a moment of bonding
Not tools for inspection
Head held high with pride, positivity, and deep reflection
Forbidden

I am like a flower bud, delicate and fragile, always seeking light in the eyes of others
I am like a flower bud, delicate and fragile, always seeking light in the eyes of others,
My face may be a painting you'd like to admire, but deep inside, I am torn into shreds,
Yet I ask for your love like a spring rain that soothes my longing for warmth and clarity.
I ask for someone—to nourish

Seeking redemption
if you're looking for a fair ration
of kindness and compassion
sadly you're barking the wrong tree
there's not much left here of humanity

Seeking eternity
Just another boring day.
The snowflakes drift away.
My question is sink or swim?
My light starts to dim.
I will keep my tunes on blast.
They are moving quick like my past.
Sometimes I come to question.
Am I making a good impression?
The memories linger in my head.
They are as soft as the silk on my bed.
The bright lights are flashing.
The
