Seeds
The bee and the flower, how could either know
that because of their little dance the world lives?
Writing words is like waxing one’s carrot, to borrow from a colorful George Carlin metaphor. One sees something and it sets off a spark in the loins. What are words on a page but the end result of the same spark? and what is a sperm cell that is produced without first being a very pleasant hit of dopamine .
This is our process, displayed through a billion variations on the same life-giving theme and force.
But for every word written in this single suspended...

Deck of Cards (AfterSexDilemma collab)
AfterSexDilemma:
Falling to the ground, Big Bang,
That's the sound.
A big man balancing on a tricycle,
Dancing like a clown.
High in the Sefirot trying not to drop.
Opened my mouth couldn't get it to stop.
Pressure boiling in with hot steam,
Makes my ears pop.
The fish in the sky are going dry.
Start to flip flop.
High on my mind wasting time on the clock.
I'm in decline, getting behind, still in line,
Want fame from the tick tock.

Diabolical Oculus
They walk behind with stolen tread
A mirror’s shade of pallid dread
No breath to speak, no eye to see
Yet mock the soul in mockery
They stalk the steps where shadows creep
And haunt the corners dark and deep
With hollow eyes and voiceless call
They mimic life, yet not at all
By Babylon's rivers, dark and wide
They steal the visions prophets cried
Like Jeremiah’s weeping scroll
They haunt the pathways of the soul
They carry words like whispers thin
With hints of wrath and hidden sin
Each gesture wrong, each smile askew...
A mirror’s shade of pallid dread
No breath to speak, no eye to see
Yet mock the soul in mockery
They stalk the steps where shadows creep
And haunt the corners dark and deep
With hollow eyes and voiceless call
They mimic life, yet not at all
By Babylon's rivers, dark and wide
They steal the visions prophets cried
Like Jeremiah’s weeping scroll
They haunt the pathways of the soul
They carry words like whispers thin
With hints of wrath and hidden sin
Each gesture wrong, each smile askew...

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'...

The Myth of Mythos
"We need images and myths through which we can see who we are and what we might become."
〰 Christine Downing 〰
MYTHOS AND LOGOS
In Ancient Greek ways of thinking, patterns of imagining, and waves of feeling Mythos and Logos appear as fraternal twins. Both carry a range of meanings, which lead time and again to the same essence 〰 captured in the English symbiont word.
Logos and Mythos cover the whole territory of phenomena which rely on and are nurtured by the spoken word ::: speech, account, tale, story,...

Sky Clad
...second sight. That gift of vision includes not only power to see distant or future events,
but the viewless forms of air.” - Robert Lang
Tis said that Myrrdin lived his life backwards
And what is backwards
The opposite of what you know to be right
Or, not in prophetic foretellings
But seeing after, manifestations of second sight
***
To see you sky clad 'neath summer stars
Skin illumed by the rising moon
New and full, it's danse summons you
Where fires blaze between set stones

Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Scarlet Star
- Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Scarlet Star -
It was in early autumn, on a foggy London day if ever there was one, when I was attempting without any real or proper success to tidy up ever so slightly the living space of my dear friend and partner in the business of detection, mister Sherlock Holmes. He sat glumly in his favorite chair, staring out of the window that overlooked the street below, smoking his pipe and muttering things to himself that were just out of my hearing range. “Leave those papers there, Watson!” he suddenly exclaimed, and I felt a slight amazement...

Iconoclasm
Punk rock hip-hop graffiti
written on the surfaces
of the anywheres
of the city
I once saw someone say
Fuck you
to The Man’s faces
I was there
sagacity
He moves when he wants to move
he said with elegance
And in my silence
I saw myself
deriving enjoyment
from middle fingers extended in defiance
and rebellious entrainment
Some of us just like to stick our tongues out
like devils
in pictures
capturing mad ecstasy
in moments
but it makes me smile
...

To Will
On our first date we walked around a graveyard (Her idea.)
Engaged in underground conversation.
She was smart, wise, and beautiful.
Is that enough of a description?
I certainly wondered how I had captivated her.
And I definitely felt the fear, at first.
(There are just some things that you just must do.)
She said that she was built like a Campbells Soup can.
She always did say: Why settle when you can select.
I picked her up in my arms, to test the theory.
(She did have a compact body mass ratio.) ...
