Poet Introduction
Nothing is very much real anymore, I feel.. lost as an ancient art, high as a rainbow arc, free as a falling dark star..

Canvas that is the mind
I am consumed by the presence of past personas, never forgetting who I was but not pretending to understand myself either.
Hindsight is a privilege which provides the power of shaping who you are in the now and who you’ll become later on down the line.
Like a desert snake shedding its skin
forget who you once were to begin again.
Each morning is a new chance to examine the canvas that is the mind.
Your thoughts are the paintbrush,
your emotions create the colors in which you’re playing with.
Choose your palette with precision,
watch how your...

Beauty and Bewilderment
The most intense landscape
swallowed in the sweltering sun,
the desert screams in silence.
Sandstorms sprouting and small houses in the distance,
this land of dust and heat demands the strongest will to survive.
On this path you will meet the kindest and most resilient of beings
seeing life from an ancient but timeless perspective.
Determined and confident in each moment of uncertainty
is what you must be in this most unforgiving of environments.
Surrounding mountains sheltered in the shade of the clouds.
Beyond the brutality...

In its power
Desires got you feeling higher,
seduced in its power,
you play along
don't pretend it doesn't belong..
and you prance along
carrying on with a little pep in your step,
long as you feeling better
and not losing your breath,
''what's the difference?"
Desires got you obsessed though
depressed and low when things don't
flow the way you wish them to..
Better not attach to all these things
that attract you
distract you
no denying you dwell
in your desperateness but damnit
you know you're blessed ...

Flow right along
Just a cold soul
lonely, despising,
perplexed and droning
at the midnight horizon..
Feeling distant but still smiling
for the sunshine
learning to laugh while burning
my paths..
reimagining the story of this soul
planting new seeds rid of the
sullied soil producing gory scenes
getting stored in secret sectors
of the psyche
collectively and individually..
Reforming mind the world inside
morphing completely ceasing from
distorting time and creations of mine..
A strange time we occupy...

Everywhere to behold
Reminding myself the blessings are
bountiful and everywhere to behold..
if I'm not too busy scolding within
its plain to see even through the veils
of misery so easily blinding thee..
I wanna remember
the love and all the blessings
and daily gifts I receive..
Most of the time my focus isn't on this
thus I enter such hopeless fits
letting carelessness consume without fighting back without truly committing to change.
"Ain't no heaven ain't no burning hell" but damn do I seem to dwell in both..

Whatever it takes..
Maybe change is inevitable..
You know this
and with this acceptance
there can be no resistance..
Something's gotta give
you detect it day by day,
just drifting deeper
feeling further faded away..
"Desperate times call for
desperate measures"
I've really been feeling
the fucking pressure lately..
Something's gotta change
something's gotta give
time to do whatever it takes
to not break completely,
tired and anxious as you may be
you must do something
whatever it takes ...

Nothing left
At times I feel I've
got nothing left to write,
that I've had a streak of streams
so seamless and unbreakable,
creative abilities unshakable,
sedated in syllabic seduction..
but this past year I've experienced
quite a reduction in my
production of pieces..
I don't force it,
if it flows, it flows
if not, then I float on
letting it go..
I tend to give in if I sit too long
with the pen in my hand
staying so static and still
with nothing coming out,
I don't find a line
and begin to dwell in...

Wiser world
A wiser world it is
maybe so..
and it ain't getting any slower
and the wisdom didn't awaken
without us wandering aimlessly
in anguish or blissfully adrift
in it's presence and gifts..
Wiser world we walk through
and wilder in it's own way,
evolving suspiciously
at it's own pace and rates of intensity.
We create the shifts don't we..
and we write the scripts don't we..
We gotta own the darkness
open up to it and notice when we're
heartless and floating hopelessly
in stark distress with the spark...

Our mind to override
Interstellar overdrive"
bouncing between bizarre chaos
and entrancing euphoria
with a strange sense of uncertainty..
this composition is in itself
another dimension with
many dark turns..
reminds me of reality and how things
seem to go from lovely and serene to
dreary and obscene..
Feels as if we're the ones
in "interstellar overdrive"
as well as in supreme stillness..
simultaneously floating and
drifting at the speed of light
we're either demented in full fright

In the surge
Energy encapsulated in skin,
bones brains and vision..
Thy mind might forget but
this truth persists
while we fight and resist being
too dismissive of our greatness
and darkness needed for the light
to be revealed..
Earth enclosed within
from her depths we emerged
to drift on submerged in the surge
of pureness..
So you have no need to
feel any less than perfect
as you were produced in the divine mind
introduced to infinite lifetimes
and timelines where thy essence shines
indefinitely never streaming...

Grateful state
End the day in a grateful state
see what shouldn't be taken for granted
then awake in just the same way..
Notice where the negativity begins
and how much time you spend fighting
within.
Know when enough is enough,
too much thinking can leave you
stuck in disgust
distrusting of any chances of change,
lost and encaged
estranged at everything..
but if you quiet this internal noise
so overwhelmingly distracting,
you can watch it all
vanish and fade so fast,

A blessing not a curse
Hand-soul coordination"
liberation through these acts of creation
the origins of which are found
flowing from the imagination..
With a mind at peace
and eyes to see,
so simply one can perceive
the profoundness of any and everything.
No moment or mind or mystery
meant to be wasted
or experienced in only states of hatred..
Let the beauty be tasted
whether in boundless bliss
or hopeless fits,
see how you can live better
without letting the bitterness
take over..
