The Cast Stone
I drink the ash from the remnants of this delusion

everyone
in the end
as the beginning
What is it that this man would think?

The Seven Levels of Deception
I cannot know
They cannot know
I should not know
They should not know
I don’t want to know
I don’t want them to know
Nobody knows
Each one upon the other
Some […]
I think we have all seen it far too many times. We got therapists, preachers, social workers, ministers, psychologist, psychiatrists, counselors, self appointed healers, self appointed experts, self appointed relationship guides and directors, government run […]
Did you see the fire
when it sparked
When ashes and burnt offerings
began to glow
another ember?
Did you see the corner
where destiny turned
with voices speaking softly
of what was to come?

What secrets have I let loose
Before the veil of the keys?
Was it not a thousand lifetimes ago?
I can feel it as if it were now
That soul long ago
Staring into the future […]
Life for me is not a mystery
It is not a joke
It is not a riddle
Of ancient lost articles
When I embrace blessings
They can often direct me
Away from the truth
When I embrace […]
How long does one walk
Down the darkened path
Of world discovery
Of self discovery
Of the discovery of mankind?
We set ourselves above the land
Though the land does not lie
We set ourselves above […]
The Trouble with Artists.
“No Great Mind exists
Without a touch of Madness.”
{Aristotle}
The hand of Perfection
Works through the lost heart

Would it be that we live in lean-to tents?
Yet the tents were private, mobile and given to status.
Would it […]
I could not say if it was a dream or a vision
Though clear and potent
The ground was as old royal stone
Interlocked long ago
Making a pathway
There before me it stretched forward
Then as […]
See before the presence of the hosts
The fire of truth
Devouring the alien mind
Unknown to the known
Cast off not in war or angst or might or love
Not by duty nor ordain
Stood […]
Awaken me from silent sleep
of wanted dreams
and dithered destiny
Strip away the tarnish
of subtle notion
bound beyond the tether
Wipe tear from eye
of all i’ve seen
before the play of mankind
Was it not […]
How do you say thank you
To the beauty of the soul?
When I can recall moments across the waters
Wondering why
How can it be
That every song now makes sense?
When the clouds encircle the […]
The awakening is not of logic
Or spirit
Or heart
It is LIFE
Command oh stand behind the man
Ye who would stand before him
That such man knows not himself
Knowing himself to be
What he […]
See the shadow that time forgot
Lurking behind the veil
Ugly and twisted and loathed
That there is none to embrace such a thing
Is said to be good
That there is none to tame such […]
