Misery

By The Jetset Vagabonds Lyrics: (First verse) Found my self in a distant landI’m a shadow where I roamI’m the calm before a Holy warBellum sacrum zone I caught a glimpse of neon hopeI’m A reflection in your eyeThe falling down off Jacob’s ladderInto a chariot of fire ……………………….

Crimson Leaf

Crimson foliageWelcoming heralding the wayA red carpet for Autumn monthsWinter chill Upon it’s heelsWood burning stove essenceFragrant throughout the airChildhood memories streaming backTime travel almost realInnocenceFrolicking in foliage moundsThe warmth of a fireMarshmallows and hot chocolateDreams of new cartoonsSchool days offPilgrims and MayflowersWithin the crimson leaves

There Is darkness….That can Not be denied.There Is the darkness of the void that consumed the light…. And a Real darkness that lies within the hearts and souls of man (human)…. If you do Not see this or have experienced this then you are indeed fortunate…. Or blind. But I do agree that before light/Continue reading “Answer to Hermetic question… What came first, Light or Darkness…..”

Somewhere along the the lines, I forgot who I am. Not some kind of shining bird, but a piece of dirt. Ah, let’s face it, if you knew who I am, you’d be running for cover, to get the hell out of the way. Steel reinforced junk, just sitting next to the road, “That’s aContinue reading “Spoken Flow~”

Changing of the Guard

Time is a curiosity, fluid yet stationary. Time moves moments in light speed, or halts to barely a crawl. Within the context of these abstract actions, our lives get punctuated by abstract events.

Thank Ya Maam’

On a hard boiled Saturday nightI felt the edge of restlessness. Drawn to the neon Frolic Room sign, the locals called shotgun for the stools with the best vantage points along Loyd’s bar.
