What am I...
Who am I...
Why would I myself wonder and ask
Don’t I know that one dwelling in me
The one in the mirror gazing at me
That one in complexions
Resembling me
In reflections
You have to see me
*****
When asked to myself present
Waiting and pondering to no end
How would I myself define
Is it what I do occupy
And my worth certify
Would that just be fine
Or shall I add the thoughts and visions
that feed what I see and envision

Do Not Presume
- Do Not Presume -
- Oh Allah! I say this unto those who have misunderstood my nature,
I say this not in anger but so that they may know me better.
The recitation of these verses, is to teach about myself,
Because understanding brings peace, the greatest wealth.
“Do not presume, to know of my true gender better than I!
When I have so laid down in my writings the spectrum of it.
I declared myself to be far beyond the binary of merely two,
Born as I was in the image...

A conversation in my head
So , listen Rob, I really think you and I should have a conversation
Ive been sitting here quiet giving you time but Im starting to lose my patience
You brood and you sulk and pity yourself
And frankly its not good for our health
Youre dragging me down, always depressed
Just being around you is hard to digest
Im craving something more from life than this miserable existence
Everything's crashing down around us and you put up no resistance
Do you think the world just revolves around you?
That what you do doesn't affect me too? ...

The Meanings and Symbolism behind my New Name
- The Meanings and Symbolism behind my New Name -
If everyone was curious about my name change, it was for two reasons... one being that I did it to honor my recent conversion to Islam, with my new name being now Arabic in origin. This is a tradition for people who convert to Islam, to choose an Arabic name or a name with at least an Arabic meaning to it. And I wished to honor that tradition fully. As for the other reason, that reason is that my new name is also somewhat of an anagram for a name that I had in one of my earliest past lives. The anagram can be solved, and its'...

My Heart Is A Bonfire
I voyage onward
Somewhere between the wreckage and the destination
Trying to decipher it all in the analytics of a fractured observation
Overshadowed by the light of days coinciding
The thunder of these moments, memories fighting
Trying to find my spotlight in the sun
Get me over my self
When the heart beat is heavy for ego driven reflections
In these broken record serenades of acceptance cravings for the damages of rejections
My thoughts betray me to heartache
Overdosing on overrated highs
There’s blood on my hands...
Somewhere between the wreckage and the destination

BUSTED SEAMS (10-15-1989; Del Mar, California)
somewhere between truth
and perceived reality
somewhere between
technology and biology
all of us so long lost at sea
here in this great tempest of imbalances
my mind flew long ago amuck
so tired of struggling
against my true nature s grain
in trying to achieve
any semblance of an even keel

LOST AT SEA (1983; Laguna Beach, California)
screaming clarity
intrigues my sinewy mind
as air flows in and out of me
feeling how all things bind
as this crystalline day around me
so sensuously explores
my outer and inner
living body and being
so sweetly
so sensuously
pore by pore
as sun s warm golden solar palm
gently touches and caresses
this great living conscious
spinning vessel
of our wondrous
sacred mother earth
with it s fiery heart s light

Loss of Inspiration
In the abyss of the deep, only grey matter reflected.
My breath was swept away by a witch's broom.
Secrets of dust were under a rug.
Astonishment took over like a surprise.
Magical, a flying carpet goes over my head, like deception.
The spell of time enthralled me with its flickering eminence of expiration.
My candle was hidden and about to burn out.
Hands on the wall, 6 o'clock, my attention was arrested.
Straight up and down, a power broadcast.
The thief in the night came and ransacked.

The Flea Trainer
The Flea Trainer
I can see fleas on tiny seesaws,
sitting tiny swings that sway,
contented and bored to just pass the time.
How came they conditioned this way?
First, put the fleas within a jar
then place the lid on top.
The fleas will jump and jump and jump
hitting glass and lid with knocks
and after a while the muscles condition
the jump to avoid the pain
of colliding with lid and glass so hard
over and over again.
You can remove the lid. Let out the fleas,
even put them on swings that sway. ...

Azazel_ One Love
I'm not of anything flesh
Yet I am flesh
There are those that arrived so far after me
Yet they claim to know my origin, why can't they let it be
I was manifested of dark matter and transported to Pangea
My arrival caused tectonic collisions that you wouldn't believe
Water levels risen, continents suddenly created as they divided
I caught a wave on a land mass and decided to ride it
Crashed into North America creating the Appalachian Chain
Populated both land masses through parthenogenesis before taking off again
Took my time across...
