Once you told me that you just can’t focus on me, You had me believe that maybe it’s not meant to be. But silence was unable to cut our magic’s thread,

On the Shoulders of Mighty Men
I am standing on the shoulders of the faith of mighty men, Those who stood their ground for over 2000 years. My faith is an ancient one; for God is the Ancient of Days.

The Muse in the Darkened Path. Top Story - January 2026.
Soft path beneath hard ground ‎Greenery wrapped in tender leaves ‎The music of nature all around ‎Withered twigs rhyming with the breeze ‎ ‎I sought a night when the moon was bright, ‎In a day when the sun was caught. ‎Light was fought with that girl's naught ‎To see if my heart was wrought or not? ‎ ‎I see a cadaver deep inside ‎Waking from a long nap after that sight ‎Her presence leaves me with nowhere to hide ‎Soaring atop the silence, like a drifting kite ‎ ‎The first sight of her played a symphony upon my heartstrings ‎Dreams dispersed in a manic daze ‎As leaves shed over a thousand springs ‎That manic moment, gazing at her pure and pristine image ‎ ‎We could fly forever and still find no way ‎The darkened path won't let me flee too far away ‎She stands quite, the moment I stray ‎I faltered at the first calm ray ‎ ‎It was a wonder that met the eyes ‎It was a severance that touched the soul ‎Light stolen from the tethered skies ‎The depth of her void, made the circle whole ‎ ‎

Rainbow Reflections
Artist Statement: The Spectrum of Us "Rainbow Reflections" is more than a song; it is a sonic and visual reclamation of the space between the binaries. In a world that often demands we choose a single "lane" or a "brittle script" of either/or, this project celebrates the "mixed genre" reality of the human soul.

Poem for the last days
After it was all done, we saw lights bolting out of his head, and we finally thanked the sacred wizard. Roman Rohan, this is the place where we pretend to believe in souls and magic. Caligula amidst the destruction, philosophers are called to make sense of our steps.

Compass
Wandering in empty spaces, heading to nowhere Paths full of ambiguous signs, leading to dead end. People passing by like shadows

Scammers, Cash For Gold - Holiday Robbery, Did I Tell You About The Time I Went To A "Pawn" Shop, Did I? #Jamaican #Dilemmas
I know it sort of sounds weird, me robbing the older person. Taking what they didn't give, or perhaps left for me to do. I know it sort of sounds weird, me robbing the older person.

Wet Asphalt
For this rain is a cold reminder that I concern myself not with selfless concepts — such as God — , but the mind-body problem.
