Not Feeling Myself Today
I'm not feeling myself today—
I see a sea of selfies.
adrift in a mirror maze,
floating as reflections that are lost
in a hall of posed intentions.
Each face is a practiced smile.
a seance of polished poses,
looped like circling carousel horses,
whispering secrets they pretend are mine.
I forge new versions of myself daily,
crafted to echo what strangers crave,
me...

fleeting moonThe quicksilver moon’s not secure in her orbit.
I’ve heard that she’s slyly slipping away,
One and a half inches yearly
so a little bit every day.
I, for one, want her to stay.
‘Oh meritorious silver sister, you have no dark side,
and I’ve grown used to your capricious light,
Why do you only hover at night?”
I think of her as...

Shortly after i was forgottenWhen the dirt covers your body
you will truly remember all that you loved
all that you hated, it will grow through
your thighs, between your armpits
between your legs into your thoughts,
your secrets, dead and bloated,
no more pains no more worry,
just you and your secrets,
your tears and your fears, all melting
under the pressure of dirt, the black...

Dark LifeCan we just not talk ?
Everything that will come up
you will only accuse and not understand.
All I got under my feet are unfriendly rock.
And there is no one to light the dark life
that settled on my land.

InflictionHe was just a boy alone in journey of life
Morals, high standards upon family name he walks
No recollection to memory, just brief thought in mind
Certain image portrayed, locked away in the depths
A way of life's poverty, morning dose's of the syrup
Just a toddler throwing sticks on tobacco, outhouse out back...

Silent Fire, Sacred StrengthThe classroom is a quiet forge,
and I, a blade in silent fire—
shaped by care, tempered in calm,
honed to serve a brighter purpose.
But into this heatswept chamber she storms,
a tempest cloaked in titles—
her words the hammer’s fall,
striking without measure, without proof.
She holds a flame to my calm steel,
asking why I do not sparkle like she:
“Why do...

Night After Daydreaming
her thoughts are as vast as cloud,
imagination massive,
expansive, ever-changing
much like the sky so airy~~
vivid dreams filled her evening,
becoming more symbolic,
abstract or fantastical....

After I'm Gone
Fading from this earth I am
A mere shadow in the sky.
As my image disappears
Through the white clouds flying high.
Do not weep because you see
In your heart with you I stay,
Locked within your memory.

Pandora’s Box(“Pandora’s Box”, 2014, original pen and ink and oil)
Pandora’s Box
I don’t know who she was,
What she did or how she did it,
And maybe it was something sublime
Or maybe she was just another woman
With the kind of perfect snatch
To launch a thousand ships
In a sea of broken hearts,
But Pandora certainly left her mark
Even today,...

From the depths of forgotten sleep, the shadows of unknown dreams riseFrom the depths of forgotten sleep, the shadows of unknown dreams rise,
On the paths of the night, our steps are guided by nameless stars,
In the cosmic silence, the whispers of destiny that traverse us are heard,
Every hidden thought becomes a window to the inner light.
Through forests of memories, the heart seeks its way to clear...

Without her, life is like a song without notes in the breeze of timeWithout her, life is like a song without notes in the breeze of time,
I dream dreams that shine in someone else's eyes, stars seeking their sky,
She was perfect, like a divine painting in the colors of sunset,
I, just a fleeting moment, a rustle of leaves in the wind, timeless.
It wasn't her fault, no shadow of...

Under the dome of the sky carved in living stones, I stand alone like a bell of thought forgotten in secrecy
Time flows in circles of fire and forgetfulness, and I am a flame burning in its own ashes

In the infinite cosmic silence, rivers of boundless thoughts flowIn the infinite cosmic silence, rivers of boundless thoughts flow,
We lose ourselves in waves of illusions, calling forth the shadows of past time,
We are but a dream floating on the eternal ocean of pure being,
In the depths of the soul, there is no separation, only eternal flow,
Everything is now and here, a dance of the...
