Majik's Reveal



Rendezvous in speculated conclave, as covertly spun

Memories pronounced reassurance, stony remember

Brevity, dancing under damnations swollen yesterday

Pressures compliance, evenings regarded trespassing


Pinnacles plight molded gathering, connectivity wound

Thunder clapping, within sounded barrier yet unfulfilled

Pestilence drowning tween mentalities focal attachment

Blatant fracture, limply broadcast among companied fault


Insanity, kissing reminders deviled resolve; in detriment

Forgivings posture, shadow driven immaculacy revealed

Colorful wonderment, a sky-filled prominence uncovered

Peaceful elegance, eyes treasure in thy focused displaying


Tinted observance, grainy informational resolve renewed

Mysteries enchanted departure, a disenfranchised allow

Compilation, running thru a nightlines remembered view

Retrospective unfolding, timely minutes; one-in-a-million


Coveted yesterday, flailing inside winds calculated blind

Awry happenings, slithered betrayal to entities unaware

Visual efferent, statures infinitesimal unveiling of now

Theater's showmanship, livings paradox twice engaged

November | 2024

Window dressing



Derailed, unto the abandoned cycle of repetends

Splashed venomous decay, a traveled bygone awe

Visions trepid revisitation, glanced suffrage anew

Specialty, bubble conscious within tinkered deploy


Prestige driven collaborative, a halogen fueled bonzer

Grandeur, salvaged tween times flighty misdemeanor

Rowing's harboring track, spinning beyond a clarity

Demon's shadow, runs thru a timely minute's voyeur


Hindsight's inevitable challenge, muse filled treachery

Thunder shenanigans, fail inside coiled retributions

Preened assertions, gather sovereign participants

Brazen humiliates, substitute valances among deluge


Responsive hindrance, staggered compliance avowed

Secular brevity, spun under the traversed balances

Future connectivity, webbed inside a theaters review

Motions divine adherence, thy copulated aggravation


Toleration stands true, in deliverance of effectuality

Mortification, gentrified exudation; plumed flagrance

Subjugation, memories exfoliated and dedicated bond

Things of things, a memorable void of mutual ability

Inside Mind's Mechanism



Realizing vanities unvanquished returning saga

Thunder, fowled within visuals witnessed belie

Eternity screams, from beyond the preference

Flighty remains, a targeted understanding view


Crimped following, slowly dancing unto red light

Posturing, grown of yesterday's blatant comply

Fissiparous memorable libations, drown version

Mediocrity running boundless through calamity


Spontaneity, continual of a frightened bellowing

Tonal breeches, endangering a prophesied few

Breathless wonder, finding the borrowed slice

Grievous socializing, running amuck within spy


Deludes fabricated image, grinds a truthful stun

Actuality, standing unto governed reproduction

Pierced bravado, boldfaced inside looking's view

Yesterday's carrying-on, a blotter drenched cry


Today's fortitude, hyper before migrant enemy

Pressured following, the angry two-step plaque

History's mounting, languished allow; micro glow

Eyes frequent visual, times dominant acclimation

Color Explosion

September| 2024

Shiny Offerings



Engaging the silvery expectations

Spellbound under magic's foolery

Peaceful imaginings conjure again

Twinkling destinations of a memory


Folding neatly upon livings torque

Thread-bare to timed advantages

No mention is brought to the light

Sleepy the natural designs arranged


The walking of the shoeless resolve

Pacing about unto daily carrying-on

Continually stripping a life's veneer

Shining again too brightly of fashion


Hesitations slow and gradual decline

Wrapped together in weighted ties

Symbolizing the lost completeness

Parading nightly in circled mentality


Movement just a longevities miscue

Looking from windows sealed viewing

Patience bleeds in isolated seepage

While times expectation is numbered

Yearly Date Chase

August| 2024

Falls Reprieve



Weaved through time tunnels environmental acceptances

Pressure treated compliance sizzling from inundated resist

Thunder rides upon memories testimonial revisitation alas

Mentalities guarded flailing, sheds timely minutes unfold


Resemblance to yesterday's caricature, thy drenched fever

Continuance revolves around physical endurance to courage

Meaningful decelerations, spin a false assuming desertation

Tomorrows dancing signature, tales from a past experience


Peopled understanding, of the many traveled unveilings

Ministered follow, destinies trodden escapade in blindness

Corpulent pressure, shields a guided judicial fury unleashed

Minstrels decided decree, a lively decadence upon a belief


Primped defoliation, is existential among theaters glowing

Tungsten equipped connectivity, holds true to participation

Instantly our detrimental credendum slowly fades preexilian 

Branded excuses, run the obligatory spin of the dice chance


Tomfoolery, begs audience before a board chambered few

Scarred remains, flounder between aftermath's tackled awe

Memories strained emotion, unable to release a happening

Today, Tomorrow, and Future involve, life's mental relevance

Autum Glow

July| 2024

Dirty Windows



Grounded to eventualities stagnated referendums

Pronounced declarations spin the data's affluenza

Diseased macabre, thy complicated resolved allure

Twitched accusations, a timely minutes disassociation


Wondering melodrama paged to fronted readership

Pledged understanding, happenstance of availability

Gravities decerebrate, spinning a hyper conclusion

Everyday sanctions propel fevered insistences found


Extremities revolve within the visual exclamation

Perishable salvation running a gambled testimonial

Theaters global acknowledgement, on a displaying

Pressures defiant standoff, the trialed misdirection


Living's grand introduction, thunders rainbows spy

Today's probable truth, grind fiercely machinations

Hungry the animal's thirst for actualities unfolding

Victims flourish, under the guided realm of alliance


Preparations, seal misapplied collaborations unveiled

Times unheralded retentiveness shines anew in glow

Revealing the awkward unhinging of viewed bygone

Mentalities posture the balanced reprieve to yesterday

Peaked Space

June| 2024

Colorful Wondering



When dealt of borrowed interaction from benign adhere

Thunder strikes from a soiled interventive barrier found

Restorative nature, wholly blended unto captures venue

Theaters stolen wonderance, mine gilded avenue unseen


Trials folded compliance, spinning thru timed spectacle

Crinkled, before the dancing; heated flame of indifference

Measured adherence, trolls among steps blinded connect

Tenacities control, running wild before a crimped finality


Specialty drowned within a stunted damnation collective

Miseries renowned conclusion, a wishful thinking askew

Terrors bold peek, washing ashy remains of black fodder

Mirrors stolen glance, yesterday's image of wonderment


Preference, scolded between deformations eye-ball glaze

Niceties inference, under twilights starry, violent, explode

Pestilence groveled thru shadows fluid misunderstanding

Menial aptitude, only special to a grouped collective alias


Wither's stolen aspiration, seizures run of desperate evolve

Measurement's threefold, a fielded; time honored conclude

Consumption all-involved, things of total considered decree

We dream yesterday, live today, and strive for a tomorrow

Summer Brilliance

May| 2024

Playing With Earthly Things



Withstanding heated days of ordinary

We climb back and forth in delusion

Totally grounded by rudimentary grunge

Hoping for livelihoods redefined break


The governed examples as prescribed

Introduced under times cloudy refrain

Twinkle before their momentary glint

Captivating again fables make-believe


As wishful tinkering of bravely control

Miscues upon the silenced intentions

Every revered testimonial lay faltered

Hidden tween life's sandwiched ending


Our calculated quantum of involvement

Perched in the obliterated surroundings

Introduce repeatedly, bold nothingness

As centuries spoilage continually ferments


While another dawn evaporates yesterday

Passages, of a twice recorded visitation

Slide the rails of iron-coated indifference

Casting in it's wake the drowned promises

Red-Eye Mountain

April| 2024

Wi-Fi In Effect


Running dry, fractured insinuations of a past

Problems strung, under disciplined overcast

Harrowing ploy, a yesterday's counter-move

Eve's tonal edge, a winds redundant groove


Verily treasured, the rounded plague of truth

Meaningful allow, a fielded wonder uncouth

Tinsels follow, unto dramas collective resolve

Feathered destination, generals flavor involve


West-wind collective, turning grounded peak

Verily speaking, timely minutes insistent speak

Opinions drowning, comply to overviews call

Teachers overly review, trinities total downfall


Bounties wrestle, of memories dead connect

Headstrong entities dangle, from blind reject

Bare-bone dressing, running afore casted eye

Pressured despondence, times crying red defy


Tunnels reminder, reveries glowing affirmation

Fevers benevolence, a treasured participation

W-Fi's vocal snide, pain-filled grievance drawn

Filters testimonial, today's long-winded pawn

Winged Freedom

March| 2024

Brown Bagged Undercover


My mind running through yesterday's compliance

Revisiting theaters changed composites of a reality

Memories dynamic testimonials the Trojan facade

Today's plausible eternity a quickened aftermath


Meaningful deniability spent of the variable deluge

Tensions careened affirmation, dying understanding

Livings controlled stoppage, times tonal ponderation

Verily, timely minute's sanctuary a total ugly untold


Infamy, dangling upon visual traversed compilation

Pestilence groveling thru a blind decoration found

Tinkering menace, innovations slow drawn accompany

Macabre tinges of onslaught effervescence renown


Bold tunnels, formed of a cloudy insinuated reprieve

Destiny, tried upon pressures stolen affirmation built

Wheeled deniability, cleverly hidden within snide denial

Pictures dangle, to a forage strung under-statement


Cleverly thy glistening, tale of revisited acknowledge

Every stroke's cowering want-to-be, testimonial cry

Theaters divine reveal, a destined actuality as told

History's collective, live-tried testimonial unleashed


Living life safely, inside the  "Black Irish"  phenomenon

Valentine's-Day Remembered


Timely minutes slow evolvement unto subliminal

Secret passages before blind interactions of space

Leveraged happenings, drawn to awkward review

Understandings craved recurrence, sectioned peek


Steely glances before years scavenged overhauling

Periods mythology grinned through a perils breech

Wavering advancement solvent to conclusions end

Merriment dancing under theaters silent retrieving


Photographic reflect, a stale reminder of yesterday

Breeched correspond, memories deciphered allow

Dimmed tantra, as musically administered thistly

We, of conscious remember; stand accused of bias


Selectiveness driven under rulings hypothesis true

Gibbous revealing, a standard grey area response

Mesmerized patronage, times fielded compilation

Tantalized eventual, mirror heckled; delivered spew


Gravely happenstance, thunders wonder proofing

Revenged differential, pestilence unto affirmation

Loneliness driven beyond the tortured allowance's

Tomorrows maiden adventure, my tried resolution

Hearts Sonde

Janurary| 2024

Playing it Once More


The windows of ubiquity ramble through hypocrisy

Melancholy glimpses divide our tenacious peeking

Theaters brazen connive, a giant; silently under allow

Evenings twisted conclusion, afterthoughts balloon


Freshly within tumultuous, examinations we buffer

Somber beginnings again circle lively introductions

Memories shadow, a new Year's overcast rewinding

Yesterday, calculates discretions critique; dutifully


Flaccid pandemonium, wandering thru empty space

Dangled compliance a wistfully spawned decadence

Pressures unveiled spectacular, trebled monotones

Continuous flection, renders mute; the visual context


Incivility a reminders dance, among cheerful recourse

World wind productions, a futures coming attraction

Summarized unknowns, a biased default happening

All temerity in afforded allowance, shinning aloofly


Gravely institutional remembrances, concur obligately

Step complacent follow, we drive eventualities huff

Meaningful actuality, lost under the rough timocracy

Again, beginnings starter pistol; counts down reality
