Oh Elara, Where Art Thou?
Elara, a cartographer of the cosmos, traced the swirling nebulae projected onto the dome of her observatory. Dust motes, illuminated by the starlight simulator, danced like miniature galaxies. She wasn't charting constellations; she was mapping the spaces between them, the dark rivers where stardust flowed. Her grandmother, a woman who read the whispers of the wind and the rustle of leaves, called it "starmist," the veil between worlds.
Elara, a scientist, preferred the language of parsecs and light-years. Yet, sometimes, when the hum of the machinery faded, she felt a...

follow me into the storm
the wind speaks of lettin go
in the language of the broken
promisin to scatter these bones
like the last notes of a storm
fadin into thunder
mother nature opens her arms
in a way that my mother never did
offerin shelter in the chaos
peace in the destruction
rest in her wild heart
each breath a step closer
to the quiet center
where stars hang too low
and the moon splits the clouds
where the sky bleeds into the horizon
and lightnin makes promises
that the rain never intended to keep
where darkness drifts in ...

Existential View
Largely the troubles of this life
Burning fires of struggle and strife
In this life, there seems to be time
Between the start and finish line
Delusion feeding illusion
Everyone always dies alone
Is it music or just a tone
Dancing to the rhythm of life
Celebration of no real strife
Forever living in this time
One moment it's all on the line
Jubilation of exaltation
Realizing you're never alone
Legacy built on a milestone
Everybody is the same
But from various viewpoints
Burning fires of struggle and strife
In this life, there seems to be time
Between the start and finish line
Delusion feeding illusion
Everyone always dies alone
Is it music or just a tone
Dancing to the rhythm of life
Celebration of no real strife
Forever living in this time
One moment it's all on the line
Jubilation of exaltation
Realizing you're never alone
Legacy built on a milestone
Everybody is the same
But from various viewpoints

The Wolf moon.
The full moon.
The wolf moon.
Coincides with a peak.
View of Mars.
Roman god of war.
Moon romantic celestial body.
For some a portent.
Some an omen.
Others just coincident.
The moon, the wolf & Mars.
That's some scary shit.
Right there.
The wolf moon.
Coincides with a peak.
View of Mars.
Roman god of war.
Moon romantic celestial body.
For some a portent.
Some an omen.
Others just coincident.
The moon, the wolf & Mars.
That's some scary shit.
Right there.

Broken Hearts
I sail the seas with pride
You can't hide your heart
You shouldn't deny your love
You can't hide your heart
You shouldn't deny your love

The Possessive Nightmare
He stares at me, smile like plastic Ken.
He reminds me of my father, constantly pretending to be your best friend.
Like my old cat, Loki. Constantly meowing, never shutting the fuck up.
.And you can't get away.
They staring at you,
eyes possessing your soul.
And you better run out before it's too late.
He reminds me of my father, constantly pretending to be your best friend.
Like my old cat, Loki. Constantly meowing, never shutting the fuck up.
.And you can't get away.

Twilight upon shores of night
How the white of the light

Wet snows touching seeds sown

One With
The color of wet snow
Omnipresence in the all as dissolution
Walking the inner talking
of
What it could all mean: If
There be meaning
inside
of the ride
of
this
Seeming dreaming
Where
Folks die &
or
Died
Closed casket ride
In which eyes were you spied
One with the tide
***
Assimilation
of
Simulation

Dreamed Fates
Contact into this coalescence
Breaking circles across dimensions
Physics of spoon circling cup
Implanted near stored lanterns
Meridians of ensuing meditations
All frequencies into the formula
Fluffy snow
falling
in
Dream states
Streaming
in
The dreaming
of
Dreamed fates

Ink as Design
Looking glasses of everywhere
Thought is not a disease
Seas of see in a way of sway arising horizon
Seeing through – Seeing to
Tides of other sides – Seeing to/Seeing through
Everything of the elemental as epicenter
Unwinding findings
Aligning signs
Strange communions
Over
Time
Dark heart of cosmos: Mind
To
Mind
Over time
Becomings of the find
Over
Time
Brink of ink as design

To Have & To Hold
Segments of contortion
Migrating marionettes
Evanescent forever
Cosmic mechanism
Broken
dance
of
branches
Chosen
chance
of
stances
Upheld by that
which
1
held up
In that which 1: Beheld
Unfolding
in
this vision
which
We: Behold

Sometimes
Faces upon angles of waves
Stone angels upon tombs of graves
Cold breath weaved
beneath
trees
in
moments frozen
like
Death: Believed
O
Grant me endless pages of unfolding philosophies
Labyrinthine
folds
of
Mind: Designed
in
Alchemies of self
during
Those times - Reflected upon
during
These times: Sometimes
