Paradise Lost
The mind is its own place,
and in itself can make a heaven of hell,
a hell of heaven.” – John Milton, Paradise Lost
No prison is darker
as that of one’s mind
when jailer's thoughts
become torturous binds.
No captivity exceeds
our own mental belief
convincing ourselves
of thoughts that we think.
When indeed they will pass
if we choose to release
expectation and doubt
for patience and faith.
Greater is the knowledge
regardless of condition
that gratitude and love ...
and in itself can make a heaven of hell,
a hell of heaven.” – John Milton, Paradise Lost

Dark Furrows
the sun bent on the skyline
a few hours past zenith
the mist lands 'pon the pines
the mute river runs beneath
i left the small town behind
riding across turned fields
the few drops of winter rains
gave dead earth nothing to yield
a lonely patch of green land
where the sky has somehow kissed
where the children had once passed
the harmful hands, blindly missed
i cast an eye onto the blue,
dark furrows stretch till the end
green trucks slash the thirsty lands
crop this year will never grow
a few hours past zenith
the mist lands 'pon the pines
the mute river runs beneath
i left the small town behind
riding across turned fields
the few drops of winter rains
gave dead earth nothing to yield
a lonely patch of green land
where the sky has somehow kissed
where the children had once passed
the harmful hands, blindly missed
i cast an eye onto the blue,
dark furrows stretch till the end
green trucks slash the thirsty lands
crop this year will never grow

What am I?
Am I something
or nothing?
A state of Being,
or just recognised
for my effect on other things?
Theoretically, I exist -
you know that I do.
OK?
Scientifically, I remain
tantalisingly
out of reach.
You can speculate
about how matter behaves
but you're just
not quite there.
Mathematically,
have you factored in
my multiple factors
(both positive and negative) -
accurate to a certain degree,
at least,
in more ways...

Silence
Silence is that you?
confession number 6 I am afraid
falling forever falling in love with you

damned if I do, damned if I don't

my brother, we can not speak
He will destroy me for being evidence of His dark side
