Title: something about mystery?
Perhaps technology
Is the death of mystery.
We’re so convinced
we can find certainty.
Too much information
(usually questionable)
makes us impatient--
no tolerance for
the unknowable
no faith
in anything at all
except our favourite influencers…
Faith is
by definition
trusting in a mystery
but
“I don’t know”
is no longer a valid answer
when we can find out
in an instant
everything from
random facts
to preferred opinions
So pick a side
find “facts” to...

Simply.. Him
The melody of my muse
Enthralling sensations from mental whispers as I seductively use
A very beguiling instrument of passion for a poetess such as me
In the form of a hirsute chest wall, dark-brown eyes, and a body as strong as the mighty sea
I can’t think straight I pull back my covers
His handsome manly body creeping between my thighs, as he hovers
He takes my mind to the revelation of the fifth wonder
Elated, sedated, which my mental muse has breathlessly created
That inner peace he instills to tame any writer’s...

Rogue In Vogue '' Sonnet ''
You take all thick and thin, you never sieve
Like a pierced evil-proof shield, out of use
And yet, you either refuse, or believe
You are bound by trends in vogue thru' abuse
Between thin and thick stand the blurred limits
You lost the vision, you're driven by whims
All the bad wrapped in silky honey sweets
They know you flee truth, sink in beastly dreams
They massage the nerves of a raging rogue
Easy gained fame, by sweat-less efforts made
You see pink, psychedelic...

The Consciousness of Blur
Hocus Pocus
lose the focus
if you want to see a different way
Consciousness is a slow shutter speed
dreams are a time exposure
Freeze a sports play
and you have a detailed truth
But freeze a waterfall
and
you've
lied.

it’s comforting
do children still read books under
bed covers at night with a torch,
I somehow doubt it, since they’re
left to their own devices; but look,
me, I always liked snuggling down with a book and still do, in a crisis ..

Trolling the Stream
Trolling the stream, watch the yuppies go in circles.
Shallow rollers, biting the cast with the current, turning inward with the tide.
Exposed for catfish, bellies in the waves.
For bottom feeders, down the flow, over rocky terrain, unknown.
They also bite when it rains, or if there's assumed bait.
Skip a rock, watch the ripples, and they look to feed.
Hook, line, and sinker - caught.
Used for bigger fish in deep, still waters.

Fateless Fortune
Do you find it strange, the way it wanders?
Do you find it vague, the answers gave?
Do you find it vain, the fame that hollows?
Do you find it feign, the pain that follows?
Do you wonder where’s the fateless fortune?
Do you wonder what it trickles from?
Do you wonder why its been misleading?
Do you wonder how to get you some?
How can you go on like you used to?
How can you maintain the perfect shine?
How can you eschew the ill-intentions
When all will surely bleed upon the shrine.

The Hidden Code of Extinction (Cauldron Kill Series)
Born from failed tech support and Faraday matrix light
Through the digital world Lord IF.6 roams like a vampire at night,
“Looking and searching for all things with a sinister worth
Mainly, shameful and hidden-giving evil an everyday new birth,
“Firewalls, viruses and false updates is what makes Lord IF.6 grow
Keeping Lord IF.6 connected to all and in the know,
“Disconnection of any kind will only give limited pause
Lord IF.6 consider himself a digital God beyond all of humanities laws,

AI
What happens to all the truckers, taxi, and delivery drivers
With the coming of self driving cars
Do they learn to code
Why, when AI can write its own
Do they work fast food when restaurants have become automated
What do they do
What happens to writers, poets and artists with AI "arts"
AI reframes, what is art
If everyone can be an artist, no one is an artist
What becomes the voice of the human experience
When we're painted into a corner
What happens to the factory workers with robotic machines
If robots can...

A Tale of two Bourbons
Bourbon has me floating
with zero gravity.
A main course of hazardous,
that doesn’t have to be.
This mad vulture plucking
meat by facsimile.
Fattened by the plagues
that he digests digitally.
Cumming zeros and ones on the
breasts of technology.
While plunging balls deep into
the death of humanity.
A whole life lived that can die
with the pull of a plug.
All the while reality tossed
under the rug.
At least the alcohol I’m
drinking is real.
Outside the grasp of
an electronic...
with zero gravity.
A main course of hazardous,
that doesn’t have to be.
This mad vulture plucking
meat by facsimile.
Fattened by the plagues

Cumming zeros and ones on the

While plunging balls deep into
the death of humanity.
A whole life lived that can die
with the pull of a plug.
All the while reality tossed
under the rug.
