The day you
discover
that it’s you
who makes it all right
Is the day you
uncover
what destiny holds true
— and prophecy foretold

Into The Mystic

What is love
if not an out of body
experience

Proving the dualist
philosophers right
— and the poet’s words set free

(The New Room: March, 2025)

Soothing The Savage Beast

What creates a mood
better than music
A tonic to fill
the empty spaces
and writer’s block

What transports the words
better than music
As Elton, Paul
and Cole have shown
— its gift to reign supreme

To Hell And Back

The hardest stones
cannot withstand
— what only men endure

(Dreamsleep: March, 2025)

A Sculptor Muses ...

Never to discover
the limits of soul
Such is the depth
of its station

The nature of being
not what’s distilled
But what’s left
— from evaporation

Clandestinus

Did they dare you to be
what you already were
Your profile kept hidden
unshaken or stirred
To wander in your
unbroken discontent
A path that lies hidden
—by unspoken words

(Dreamsleep: March, 2025)
