SACRED LOVE
WOMAN TO MAN AND MAN TO WOMAN 💞 From the deepness of your heart have you ever had a sacred love, that fell into your laps that just makes you feel like a good thing. JUST 🤫happen to change your whole entire perspective. 🤫 For sure no one is sent to you, by chance or accident, yet sometimes that's not true. 😔 For sure actions speak louder than words, for wouldn't you rather have truth of telling me just show me. 🤔 Do you have a sense of real commitment with consistency, that has real communications skills to articulate. Your thoughts and insight and...

Worms
What-if will tomorrow be what-is, maybe
Yesterday and tomorrow have become lovers today
because they know they can never marry
Tomorrow’s today is no man’s bride
And yesterday’s worm becomes who we thot
today and forever, until we’re not
The earthworm drinks its love from the soil
and the cankerworm gratifies itself slowly
For this I have learned to be most grateful.
Each of us thinks we decide
but is that right? No, it is this way
because the worms say it is so
Yesterday and tomorrow have become lovers today
because they know they can never marry
Tomorrow’s today is no man’s bride
And yesterday’s worm becomes who we thot
today and forever, until we’re not
The earthworm drinks its love from the soil
and the cankerworm gratifies itself slowly
For this I have learned to be most grateful.
Each of us thinks we decide
but is that right? No, it is this way
because the worms say it is so

Exodite's Clarity of Stolen Stars
In circles thrice entwined
By sacred numbers torn
The Nine and Seven bind
Where stars are now forlorn
Unholy shapes are cast
In Fivefold glyphs of woe
The heavens turn at last
And to the Void they go
By crooked angles made
The Six betrays the light
Its secrets now displayed
In patterns bent by night
The stars, devoured whole
In thirteens they collapse
A darkness takes its toll
And snaps their cosmic lapse
The diviner counts the lines
In symbols traced by Three
Their meaning...
By sacred numbers torn
The Nine and Seven bind
Where stars are now forlorn
Unholy shapes are cast
In Fivefold glyphs of woe
The heavens turn at last
And to the Void they go
By crooked angles made
The Six betrays the light
Its secrets now displayed
In patterns bent by night
The stars, devoured whole
In thirteens they collapse

And snaps their cosmic lapse
The diviner counts the lines
In symbols traced by Three

Vetrnaetr, winter nights beginning
once more
I become her
silver silken haired
as she swims turmoil tides
diadems from dew
bend their fragile heads
floating in lunar light
cosmic clams open
blood of my brethren
sea faring
one eyed
as last leaf leaves
from her torso
earth bore
a nameless child
vespers
whisper
vinter
for tonight
my bride
is winter

Symphonia
Oh, radiant soul that gilds the ebon night,
Like Luna’s beams upon a sable sea,
Thy beauty sets my troubled heart alight,
And binds my soul in chains of ecstasy.
Thine eyes, twin stars that pierce the velvet dark,
Do blaze with fire no earthly flame could hold,
They light my path like some celestial spark,
Yet burn with ice that makes my blood run cold.
O, how thy voice, a symphony divine,
Doth echo through the caverns of my mind!
Like seraphs’ hymns or siren’s wailing whine,
To thee I’m drawn, to madness thou consigned.

Banquet
There's animals
in strange suits
consuming flesh
like red wine
spilling over
white satin,
I slow my gait
crossing over
noting the pure
gluttony hidden
in every pupil
as they speak
in small jargon
while mouths
slowly begin
to fill up.

The Lamp and the Mirror's Midnight Chat
In silence's hush, where shadows play,
a lamp and mirror conversed one day,
their voices whisper, soft and low,
as midnight's stillness let their secrets grow.
Lamp: "Oh, Mirror, reflector of the soul,
what tales you tell, in silvery role.
Do you see joy or sorrow's sway?"
Mirror: "Both, dear Lamp, in endless array."
Lamp: "I light the path, through darkest night,
guiding dreamers, banishing fright.
But do you think, my glow's enough?"
Mirror: "Your radiance, shines steadfast love." ...

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...

Before there were FIGHTERS
They say that the elders are spiritual souls, that speak with truth and genuine knowledge and wisdom. Yet before there were FIGHTERS they became WARRIORS of society, but yet they had strength and courage and perseverance with honor and respect. With the deepness of understanding of knowledge and wisdom. To serve and protect the emperor's of the empire of a nation. NOW let's fast forward before there were FIGHTERS, they were truly the SAMURAI WARRIORS, raising up from the deepness of the ashes and🔥fires to make a wrong RIGHT. Do you see a similarity from then to now, GOOD VERSES EVIL...

giving birth (poetry)
you have
gave birth,
not to
something
new, but
something
old,
you are
the mother,
you are
the father,
each word
is breath,
each line
becomes
age,
now you
place them
out there,
on
their own.

WHEN A MAN, LOVES A WOMAN
I would like to go back in time when a strong man loves a strong woman, for that was when we had that kind of mental realness of how precious life is worth. For sure there was a sense of real togetherness, in the factor of understanding as that in it's self built, a defense around the very foundation of family. For do you truly remember the rules of thoughts, back then between a man and a woman who were committed, to building, a strong and lasting relationship. There was no lying or creeping on the side thinking, 🤔 that the grass was greener on the other side of the tracks. For sure...
