Withered and within
a dying breath
and yarns of endless ephemerae,
like thunder, like lightning,
igniting ages of delusion;

A fear.

Astral and adrift,
I  bloom in adventures,
yet amble in ink of hundred hues,
like a bubble, like a feather,
lazing in prismatic pastels;

A vagabond.

Etched and enshrouded  ,
a fiery trail of my footprints
I have yet to reach,
like a fantasy, like a nightmare,
calling, in dusk-soaked whispers;

A journey.

A life ahead.
Posting after a long time...
This one holds many of my thoughts,
lately they've been drifting a lot

orange morning light
and snow-flake ash

the taste of burnt manzanita    

fire to the north,
fire to the south
a valley enclosed
in uncertainty

apocalyptic sun
blotted out by
smoke,
a color just as beautiful
as it is eery

Gentle river
Lick me clean
Take my sins
And slam them
Against the rapids
Wild river
Grant me freedom
Let me float
Along your bank
Let me sing with you
Let me roar with you
Until the birds call me home
Rising river
Rise with me
Rise with me
Rise with me

full of light is the sun

when bowing down

behind the hills

where feathery flowers

wait for burning its gold

waves of colours, faint

in the evening light

and hope scents

the land is growing wild

in the flushing breeze

dancing each stem

in its delicacy

A wise friend once said
“Bureaucracy dilutes democracy”
The peoples choice becomes one voice
A voice void of reason
Tainted with treason

Reality recites insanity
Humanity parades as a profanity
We choose to follow
And have no choice as we swallow

Poverty perverts prosperity
Mass consumption consumes every known commodity
Hallucinations
Feed the nations
Chaos not a theory
But enlisted with such simplicity

Bureaucracy has destroyed democracy
Captivated by capitalism
The proletariat does conform
Enslaved to a wage
To perpetually perform
