To Burn Eternally

When we are old and wise…
too open our I’s…
We Yearn to live our life
Backwards
Slowly crawling thru River Lethe
Toward Innocence
Eventually
crawling right back into the Womb

To do It All
Again

Eternity is In Love
With the Productions of Time

The Fool hides Immortality
In his travel bag
Winks
Smiles
Looks over the abyss
And steps off the Edge

A Lifetime of pain
Perhaps
All for the taste
Of One Mortal Kiss

And This

Is what keeps the Wheel in Spin

To Truly Love
An
Other

We Must Forget Again and again

“If My Love is Blind
Then I Don’t want to See
Am I left to Burn
And Burn Eternally”
She’s a Mystery to Me~s

Open Casket Viewing

Open Casket Viewing

Approximately four days before I died
I called your house
to remind you
of my funeral.
But you were not home.
And so I crawled off
into the woods
to die alone,
without social gathering
and without open casket viewing.
And the moment after
I breathed my last breath
as I began to drift from consciousness
I heard your voice
in the distance
calling for me.
But it was too late.
For I had already perished
into the depths of my own denial-
the denial that you cared for me.
And now I am dead
and I can still
hear you calling for me...

The Neutral Zone

Old art from around 2002
The Neutral Zone is the Creation Zone
I am a chosen Enemy Of The State Of

That tries to tug at my I
And keep me Blind
To NeutralEyez is to surf the Callosum
I call it stepping into the Center
of the Spindle
of the Core Processor
The zero point
The jester is the fool
who has come full circle
Creating worlds

Died Of Consumption

it’s called a news FEED for a reason, 
You are being force fed a juicy stew
Of engineered ‘news’ and brewed unTruths
Because the newcAge zoo runs on Loosh

But I don’t Eat
From the hand that serves
Genetically Modified Urges
And emotional purges

I just chuckle
An 8 second scroll unrolls
Image after image
Meant to unFold
Inside the neural nest

Keep eating. Yum yum.
At this Point in the Game
Every single thing you react to
Was baked in an artificial maze
To Daze your neural pathways.

The script
Is ripping your fiLes
Compressed aggression
Pretending to Lifes
Sudden
Happenings.

It’s a PotLuck

Don’t you know

“Died of Consumption”)

In Prisms I See Your Face

In Prisms
I see your face
plastered around me
you are here
beside me
in essence.
And should I fall,
would I be gathered in
by your gentle hands?
Or would I crash
fatally
into the cold
barren ground?
I focus in on you
I see past the flesh
and I know
you are there.
I dreamed of you
Once.
I begged for you-
and you came
Alive
in my world.

October 1999

Your World

Your World


I float through your world
weightlessly
spinning around and around and
around again
It took me so long to find this place
and I am now locked in
I have broken down your atmosphere
desecrating your perfect air
in attempt to escape from here
But your walls do not fall down.
Your eyes are oceans of purest blue
I swim and swim and swim
in hopes of getting through
to you.
But your skies are painted dark
and your storm sucks me in
and now I'm drowning once more
sinking to your ocean floor
my body engulfed by your unforgivable sin.
Your lips part like the red sea
beckoning me
promising to fulfill my reveries
your voice is transparent
your message is clear
I crawl inside your crystalline tear
urging you to join me
as I slip down your cheek smoothly, calmly
hiding from my only fear.
Your aura attracts me
distracts me
makes me think that you are free-
just an orb of energy
to gather me in and suck me dry
so that you can watch the world float by
in your lonely, barren eternity.

Linguistic Trickster books!

I am very excited to be making great headway into this project that has been haunting me for a very long time. I have volumes 1 ,2 , and 3 available on Amazon and volume 4 is being formatted and edited now. I’ve spent so much time lately in ocd pursuit of completing up to the 6 volumes from January 2025 back to 1996 of my ‘dreaming back’ narrative of lifetimes writing . The next three volumes contain more writing by far than these three, as I wrote profusely during those years ( trying to stay sane 🧐)

Amazon links

I’ve done almost nothing else lately, so many hours into these just in the formatting and editing and rereading and all the rest. Reading thru 200 pages several times double checking for missed mistakes 😂 whole new appreciation for this process but I’m a little bit obsessed and am making good to my vow to complete the publishing of the whole series thru volume 6 by the time Jupiter leaves Gemini. The chart for this one is amazing too.

We must plant seeds at the right time for them to bear fractal fruit of beauty: I have lived my entire adult life with the astromythographical mirror of magic at my side, what an amazing gift we have at our disposal of we only learn the Languages of Life and Light🌟🔥🌟 Aquarius Electrical Impulse of Light and Awareness Opposed Leo Fiery FireLight of Warmth and Action and HeartBlood.

My north and south node are Leo/Aqaurius exact conjunct my MC/IC axis. To bridge the Heart and the Mind………as my Mercury ( communication/mental processing:language/writing/expression) sits exactly atop my Ascendent (Scorpio….the Psyche,deep insight/penetration/life death sex mysteries of existence, the deep dark of descent) and opposing Chiron( the wound, the gift we bring forth from that wound, the antenna, the area of healing the existential drama) that sits on my descendent in Taurus ( the body, the senses, Form, the roots, the inner values and substance of our being, the flesh). The modern rulers of those four signs are exactly conjunct….Sun/Uranus in Scorpio first house, and Pluto/Venus in Libra 12th house. Mercury straddled between the two. The psychopomp that travels between the UnFormed(12th underworld/unBeing) and the Formed(1st Self/Being). The Jester, the trickster in the liminal space. The Fool must come Full Circle around the circle of the zodiacal wheel..::earning its degrees by the decree that Life Must learn to Feel the Real.

Yes the fixed cross
I am fixed to the cross
Bearing
The weight
Of tearing fate
From the forms I create
As a testament
To Destiny…
Alchemy…..
Burning the dross
To make way
For the best of Me

I Own it All

( sneaky picture my college roommate took while I was passed out In My bed 1998)

I Own it All….
It was bought ensouled
It was brought from lead
Right into gold
As I smashed walls
Between
Me
And the bed I made
To make
A soul.

I Own it all….
I own the Apple
And the Fall
I byte the Core
And Process the raw
Datum
Flung from the
Stratum that Spells
Out Laws
As cause and effect
Erects A wall
Between
Me
And the Dream
I made
To make
A soul.

I Own it All.

The Voices Captivate Me

The voices captivate me
Elevate me
Even try to concentrate me
But they can't endure
This mind is pure
Eternal door of the nothing more

My third eye is on fire
Opening higher and higher
Til even my mind
Is the liar
And now I don't know
Who to believe
I smile though while I know
I am being deceived

They try to talk to me
Preach to me
Thinking they make sense to me
But their mind is on the Green
A viral sickness
Caught in-between
The here and the there
Don't they know the Here is There?
It doesn't matter where

They run from life
They run from death
What else is left?
Some in-between?
A placenta sunbeam
Orange sherbert ice cream
For the healthy daydream?
A prism of nothing's and somethings
That don't mean a thing
'Cept the words that define them
Contain them
Like an ass caught in denim
Blue Genes to split your seams
It's all a three-ring
Circus full of shiny things
To make the eyes squeam
Feign
Sell their souls for the American Dream
Dripping like ice scream
From the high beam
Of the American side-street

The Freak show
comes and goes
They can't say No
They get disgusted but they still go
'Cause their afraid to see
What their own lives mean
Chasing the Green
They do a double take
When they see me
They're afraid to Be
What they want to be
And won't admit
They don't like what they see
When they open the Screen
To the in-between.

Volume 2 available soon. These are retrospectives working backwards and will eventually encompass all the way back to 1996, an astropsychographical adventure awaits the completion of this project. This had to be finished before I could move on to the task at hand 🙂
