What forces charge this pen of mine?
to set rare thoughts upon the line.
Warm feelings lost or bound in tight,
set on a shelf and out of sight.
What drives this need of mine to share,
to bare my soul with laissez faire
Could it be, for once, no fear,
Its love's faint echo that I hear.

My eager heart and cautious mind,
Engage in fights for dreams refined,
A constant battle, thru day and night
But alas, for me, no truce in sight.
Small pleasures, won with joyful might,
by parting's sting, are put to flight.
How can one's heart restore its flame?
On merely the whisper of your name.

A sweet surrender lies on me now,
when your tender kisses caress my brow.
Your honeyed voice, its gentle plea,
your softest touch reserved for me.
My search for awe, at last renewed,
having found in you, an unlikely muse.
A friend, a lover, my ever near
Who's soul and spirit, I hold so dear.

My pen, once grounded, soars in flight.
to boast of feelings brought to light
Your eyes, a blue-gray vibrant hue,
a smile, that makes all skies feel blue,
Your poise and grace, seem heaven blessed,
have stoked a fire within my chest.
My eyes can't hide my heart's true plea,
As our bodies entwine with such chemistry.

When love transforms what lust once made,
to a thing so pure, no man would trade.
The cloak that hid my heart's true beat,
is thrown aside, my soul complete.
What moved my pen, what made it leap?
True affection from my 'someone to keep',
Its you, my dear, I say in my softest tone,
you're the greatest love, I've ever known.
I stand at the end, looking upon the new road ahead.
I step on to a new journey, with its map unread.
I am unaware of the destination; how do I advance?
"I am just a piece of paper here", said the map at a glance.
I carry along with me a treasure trove of experience and memories,
To which I still cling upon for an appease.
I find it tough to leave the treasure behind,
Together that I earned with my people in our grind.
I learn about the road on every turn as I proceed,
I reach the fork and validity of my decision makes me worried.
For the demand of each path, I pay a similar cost,
Not on the way, but in the pool of my thoughts, I am lost.
I've learned that when times are hard,
The healthiest thing to do,
Is to cut yourself off from everyone,
Until your very last bond fades away.
But that's an example of how,
Not everything we learn is true,
Or at least should be followed,
As if it were a brand new rule.
I’ve been stranded in a desert,
Two years behind the bars of sand.
Never tried to break free,
Just watched the sun sink with me.

Then one day— like any other,
Through my wreckage, I caught his gaze.
Shivering— I’m cold he says,
Burn me up with the fire you ignite.

Passed beyond my clouds,
Every scar of mine must be his guide.
So I’ll drop my broken heart—
Become the spark of your night

At midnight
I will scare myself
into the new millennium

with dates
and charts
and graphs

about fractions
and formulas
and fundamental folly

all because
some genius thought
that in the grand scheme
of things

My curled-up dreams,
hidden behind shadows of your touch.
You don't have any clue,
about the nights we gave birth to the sun.
Even though we just met,
I'm sure, in a past life,
our voices tangled
beneath the same sky.
Ever had a feeling you've known someone for forever even though you just met.

The devil is beautiful
That's the point
No one wants to be ugly
Beautiful does not equate inherent goodness
Lucifer was god's favorite
so beautiful
so perfect
Vain
He fell
The devil is.
So beautiful.
you can't help but follow him
Track him with your eyes
Fall into his gaze
Actions be ****** because
God is hard
God is divine, a being you can't look at for fear you'll never look back away
God is the type of divinity that strikes feat in nations
The devil is easy
Comfortable
Conventional
Convenient
Do I really want to be beautiful?

****, this website
Just ate one of my works.

One which was a repost
From January of 2024.

Relating how I was delving deeper
Into quantum theory & mythology,
Into the sciences broadly & philosophy.

How I was going to mix them
And make them intermingled.

How I would mix that of my life,
Or more aptly how I write of it,
With that of new science & old antiquity.

By mythology, philosophy, & theology.

So as to create digestable content
That inter-wove those concepts
To better translate them to any given audience.
Yes, indeed we have a new Pope.
I wonder, however, if we have a new hope.
As a matter of facts, we have two popes:
One is active and the other is passive,
Which means that one is inactive,
The latter was a hell of a man who shocked: folks,
Foes, rivals, parishioners and cardinals,
By resigning his post,
By becoming a different host.
He is still a holy man, in accordance to the latest polls,
A courageous priest, who reminds us,
That man is immortal and fallible.

Pope Benedict is enjoying his golden hiatus,
His retirement in a humanely divine castle.
I don't know much about the new one.
I can only hope that he is someone,
Who's at least similar or equal,
To the former, who was wise and simple.
May God bless his soul,
‘Cause he was able to realize
That he was becoming unable
To lead effectively, and to prioritize.
As a matter of facts, habemus duo popes,
Yes, indeed, habemus duo pontifices.
