I speak the right words, but they fall from a heart out of tune Intrusively lucid— while the world hums in illusion, spouting sense that makes none Aimless walking through loud laughters irritated at echoes of joy Contradictions cradle me innocence hand in hand with experience, dissonance brushing up against self-clearance I love what I know of the love I hold within The sacred blood seeping through the cracks of my mind, filling me with the will to stretch this life beyond decay A double life—E.H. Taylor for me and red wine for the floosies Congrats to the self-aware, souls floating in shared air Writing, applying, testing what tomorrow will catch I wake to a burning light grateful still, through the blur of pain I forgot where it began—LOL Cardio and party time Bar Leos and smarty-nosed muses, these are the tides’ offerings— feelings we chase then drop in a whim With nothing to lose, there is nothing to attain only a return to the raw conditions, the pulse of what always is Moment to moment without the lens of perception, life unfolds through me without my doing Seeing through the mirage of the doer, solidities dissolve— I acquire what I want without desire No resistance in any instance, motivations rise effortlessly No status to chase; I let go of my “control” over nature The relative and the ultimate become one Locationless in a world of coordinates no exception to experience I feel light today, bouncy, one breath at a time, shape-shifting A conscious meltdown swells—there’s no one to forgive, only to remember I expect nothing now from the people I seem to love, just playing with controls to master victories and tragedies The result remains the same beneath my lens Relationships bloom, others wilt.... love to lose soon, others yet to rise while I stand in eternal dusk Cycles to evade & patterns to erase.... better now than too late I polish the words I thought were myself Complete from the start // I need no validation I translate my experience into imagination, earn my freedom to move on Imaginary pains I once inflicted holographic anguish I no longer fear Death cannot hold me I live inside isolation until I reach the heavens and merge with duality entire Master of masks, I drift and dissolve— breathing the truth I’ve always been

Master of Masks
I speak the right words, but they fall from a heart out of tune Intrusively lucid— while the world hums in illusion, spouting sense that makes none Aimless walking through loud laughters irritated at echoes of joy Contradictions cradle me innocence hand in hand with experience, dissonance brushing up against self-clearance I love what I know of the love I hold within The sacred blood seeping through the cracks of my mind, filling me with the will to stretch this life beyond decay A double life—E.H. Taylor for me and red wine for the floosies Congrats to the self-aware, souls floating in shared air Writing, applying, testing what tomorrow will catch I wake to a burning light grateful still, through the blur of pain I forgot where it began—LOL Cardio and party time Bar Leos and smarty-nosed muses, these are the tides’ offerings— feelings we chase then drop in a whim With nothing to lose, there is nothing to attain only a return to the raw conditions, the pulse of what always is Moment to moment without the lens of perception, life unfolds through me without my doing Seeing through the mirage of the doer, solidities dissolve— I acquire what I want without desire No resistance in any instance, motivations rise effortlessly No status to chase; I let go of my “control” over nature The relative and the ultimate become one Locationless in a world of coordinates no exception to experience I feel light today, bouncy, one breath at a time, shape-shifting A conscious meltdown swells—there’s no one to forgive, only to remember I expect nothing now from the people I seem to love, just playing with controls to master victories and tragedies The result remains the same beneath my lens Relationships bloom, others wilt.... love to lose soon, others yet to rise while I stand in eternal dusk Cycles to evade & patterns to erase.... better now than too late I polish the words I thought were myself Complete from the start // I need no validation I translate my experience into imagination, earn my freedom to move on Imaginary pains I once inflicted holographic anguish I no longer fear Death cannot hold me I live inside isolation until I reach the heavens and merge with duality entire Master of masks, I drift and dissolve— breathing the truth I’ve always been
