Dumb QuestionDon’t you get tired of doing whatever you want all day long?
I stare at my neighbor.
Is she serious?
Has she gone mad?
Or is she as strange as I have always thought....

The Mobius Strip of Thought
The loudest silence screams its truth.
Darkness illuminates hidden stars.
The heaviest burden lifts the soul.
Beginning ends, and ending births anew.
To gain all, you must first let go.
The more you know, the less you understand.
Weakness can be the greatest strength,
and standing still, a journey's start.
This knot of contradiction,
a tangled thread of what seems not to be,
reveals the...

Cross of GnosisThe debt of soul to Nebro came through the cross of gnosis
Through strength of spirit, though no mortal sacrifice could pay that debt
Christ the vine became that tree of gnosis to pay the debt

ALMOST HERThe dream fills me with hope,
But opening my eyes,
Waking up to reality,
Shatters them all.
Dreams bloom like flowers in the spring,
While present is like a rainy night mixed with thunderstorms.
Would it have been better if I wasn't me?
Or if i would have been the dream-me?
Because if the dream fades,
Who am I left to be at all?
But...

Like Inmates at Asylums
How ironic to see ‘chain gangs’
in elementary schools now
Little kids roped together, inmates
at asylums where madmen shoot at you

The Nightmare of Subjectivity - Apr 16The lady looking up had said that “good
was bad” and then had added, “all was well”;
Tripped up on his feet, and after her fall,
she who was glad was then made madly sad.
But the man stooping down from where he stood
replied that “bad was good” and “well was all”;
Though with his words he’d made the...

Life is short make it workWhen I was serious
You took for granted.
Totally ignored my requests
Treated them like games.
Then used it against.
To support your anger.
Flying those Fs words
Towards my fine face.
Once, I tried teasing you,
You found it too offensive.
Ended our very unstable friendship,
While behaving insensibly and immaturely,
When thing has gone dead,
What would you do instead?
Long for many new days,
So I...
