Where the woods warp all and none,
the invisible path to nowhere, stands tall,
beneath the line of conscience.

There awaits a BEACON of light
where no eyes have dared walked,
and no tongue have whispered a name.

Still, I lift the beam, my own,
trembling at its source, and wish to know
what lies behind the prickly thorn

Many hold the mask of hollow hearts,
but I tell you this, it is not absent
only scarred
so much as to not see its own dimensions

Better to bring a torch, a friend,
and a snack or two for waiting,
for it is a dark cave ,
like the womb against all the thieving
done in taking

And on your way out and far ,
dont forget to greet the old hag at the gate there,
Spin around three
and on the third
you may find a new perception,
far from this
and probably to the relief of all your attention.

She fell from
where possibilities linger beyond,
ruby and gold—

Weaving soldiers into tapestries,
heads low, fists clenched,
she whispers hope,
a symphony between the threads.

Bodies sink,
forgotten in the tide;

She gathers what remains,
a lantern for wandering souls
across the cosmic river.

Never knew such a lady, I did—
waltzing between realms, she did,
sparks trailing behind...

Yes, that is what
a lady does best—
shine.

Met her a few years ago—
Lady in Red.

Part I: The Journey

The sky unscrolls a veil of fire,
the earth inhales a womb entire.
Mountains murmur, rivers bend—
all things arise, dissolve and transcend.

The moon's pale hush, the sun's fierce call
trace shadows cast beyond them all.
The tide surrenders to the land—
no struggle, only open hand.

In every stone a silent ache;
in every leaf the wind’s live wake.
My breath not born of lung or throat
moves through the marrow, keeps it afloat.

What gives is vast and gives through all
yet mind forgets and fears the fall.
It names the love then runs from flame—
it seeks the path, then veils my name.

My soul recalls what time erased:
a rhythm lost, a fire faced.
Through fog and fracture, ash and bone,
it follows songs the stars have known.

Desire appears in shifting guise—
a thousand forms and a million eyes.
Each one a mirror lit by flame,
each one a wound that speaks my name.

And still, the Light behind the play
does not withdraw and does not decay.
It waits beneath the thrum of thought,
unmoved, untouched, yet always sought.

Not skyward— no, not upward throne—
it hums within the blood, the bone.
Let rising fall, let seeking cease:
The fire remains and the fire is peace.

The timeless ones, the inward wise,
did not pursue the fading prize.
I drank the dark and kissed the storm,
and vanished back to formless form.

No titles clung, no names endured—
yet through their hush, the world was cured.
And here the trace of footless feet—
Where I dissolve, where we all meet.
The One Within the Silence is a triptych journey through seeking, surrender, and return. Blending mystical imagery with deeply personal reflection, it explores what lies beneath striving the quiet fire that never fades. From the ache of longing, to the breaking of ego, to the discovery of peace within, my poems invite you into a contemplative space where silence becomes home.

Witchcraft and wine
it comes so naturally,
and now that you’re mine
I’m going to actually
try my best not to lose it.
If there’s a bomb then I will defuse it.
If there’s an offer I’ll just refuse it.
If there’s a card to play I’m going to use it.
Because you’ve got me under

Your blanket of stars and mysteries,
connecting our scars and histories.
In parked cars both sighing mystically
and back to the park where I was to shy to try anything.

Sorcery and scotch
you put me in a trance.
If you took it down a notch,
I just might stand a chance
that I’m not going to lose my head,
even with my cheeks burning red
getting brighter as you quietly said
“I’ll meet you tonight in our bed.”
Depriving me of slumber

With your healing touch and cosmic skin,
I’m within your clutch and freely giving in.
It’s too much and you have yet to begin,
removing my crutch and cleansing me of each sin.

I was warned of street magicians
and cautioned with tales of gateway drugs.
To not take my eyes off no matter the conditions,
because that’s when they tend to pull rugs.
“If you fall for one,
you’ll fall for them all.”
But this time I’m done,
I think it’s last call.

With your witchcraft and wine,
you make it look so divine.
This one poured out like a rose,
within minutes cause I had so much to say.

In separations, the smell of death lingers,
And in reunions, life, warmth, and solid timber.
The forest sings for the leaves of east,
And welcomes thee, then whimpers—
Of joy, what joy, what wonderful winds
That bring the breath of winter
That cling onto my lady’s breast
And promise me to bring her.
Breath caught between seasons, a whisper where endings and beginnings entwine.

You are the sparrow, or the one who oversees.
You are the sea worm — the one that bottom-feeds.
You are the urchin which waves could never crash.
You are the person whose feelings will never last.

You are the yeti, whose hand is very grand.
You are the teddy, soft as white sand.
You are all things, and no things, all at once.
You are the heartbeat whose race cannot be won.

Don’t look at the sky, deceiving skies,
The world will end, you may gonna fry.
Get ready—don’t cry,
God is the trust in the darkest minds,
Don’t get too close, or God will cry.

Things crumble, crying skies,
Land sheeps, all so dry.
When no god, no man shall ever die,
All eternity—a whisper of flies.
God sees when sight has,
If God sees, why for a change
Do we pray without a lie?
No man shall live for a lie.

In God we trust, but us, we lie.
Why create God in a world full of eyes?
All can see, and none can die,
Unless you see none is there to actually cry.
Yet all are there when all lie,
Of a being falling from the sky,
Teaching us of past tribes,
How they lived and others shall die.
For them we save, and us, we try,
Can lie to death but still can’t die.

None can sleep after they try
To know God and find the lie.
That all was God—and still we die.
On land we stay, no heaven, no cry,
None shall lie when lands dry.
Souls forgotten still live in lies,
To others bring evil in the trial,
To get wins to the same lie,
And it ends in one scene—
All say, "Why don’t we say one little lie?"

Again, God lies to the ones who die,
They still cry, and they can also lie.

May God see—and choose to die.
"A moment of revelation, a whisper from the void. Written in the dark, in a trance of thought and fear. Read it—if you dare to question."

Two souls have come together,
two magical beings.
What does the universe want,
to stir such a commotion?

Everything will be allowed,
when their time arrives.

Perhaps they are not the only ones
protecting themselves.

Perhaps beings from beyond
are shielding them too.

For they share the same fears,
and all will unfold in the earthly realm,
when they choose.

They were everything,
they were nothing.

Everything was mystical,
fire,
and air.

They moved from the battle of life
to the refuge of disaster.

Only souls,
finally found.

They were the dream
they never dreamed,
but that the universe
had already decreed.

Fasting first
then ritual
and the
mushroom
burst forth
and spoke
through me
in a voice
saturated
with a little
cosmic giggle.
It's message
short,
"I am the
creature of
the depths
come to say:
Life's a game
death's a game
it's all a game,
so play."
This is what the mushroom said

Shrouded in this mystical darkness
The tenderness of fog a good company
The winter silence reinventing its language
The inception of tears suspended
How wonderful to love everything as it is
Like trees love the patience of earth
Happy New Year!
