Premium Member Intro Spect

("Splendid Isolation Merit Badge", 2010, original oil)

I was looking
In all the wrong places
Thinking I needed
To do something
With my life
While all along
It was my Life
Needing to do something
With me.

Premium Member Is It Hubris Or Arrogance

Is it hubris or arrogance to write
as if we know it all, but deep inside
the jagged lines of life will interrupt 
the smooth edges of our prose, and the night
will cast the shadows of ego aside,
as in the spider’s web we soon are cupped,
entangled in the bravado we spect 
to expose in others (that in us denied),
so nirvana is poisoned and corrupt, 
unlike the phoenix we will not resurrect 
from the ashes of our past.
