Behind The Veil (+2)

Like a thief in the night

academia

wears enlightenment

as a mask

hiding its true agenda

— a stranglehold on the truth

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)

 

 

 

Fame Or Infamy

 

The best thing of all …

 a memory treasured

The worst thing of all …

a memory shamed

Blessing the one

cursing the other

To live on beyond us

— in praise or blame

 

 (Dreamsleep: January, 2024)

 

 

 

 

Himalayan Nuptials

 

Better to reach for something

and miss

than to hold back playing it safe

 

Destiny in the intention

and choice

hesitance falling from grace

 

Better to be adopted

by truth in flight

than the orphan of a lie

 

Where words and music marry as one

on the highest mountain

­—you climb

 

(The New Room: January, 2024)
