Anachronome
Hardwired to our source code Subconsciously prepared Transmitted by antenna To the mind yet unimpaired Anxious wires vibrating Growing accordant buzz Alternating progressions To transcend the cosmic fuzz Keys surge in synthesis Sounds in varied degrees Ambient landscapes of mood Born of nuanced subtleties Vibrating cables pulse Crunchy metallic thrum Synchronizes our heartbeats With everyContinue reading “Anachronome”
Superbia
In the dawning days of dysphoria Cliques of creatures could casually crawl Through ramshackle burned-out suburbia To the heart of a late century mall There a disembodied discomfort crept Across cavernous cliches of heartache Many lost souls inconsolably wept For fidelity they’re forced to forsake The withering disapproval destroys What the earnest dreamer dares toContinue reading “Superbia”

A system that is so pervasive and furtive that it has taken on a life of its own, adapting and evolving despite concerted efforts to defeat it. Like its natural counterpart, this prison is comprised of cagesContinue reading “The Invisible Cage”
Theater of the Absurd
Welcome one and all To insanity on display Where songs from a once-great hall Loop endlessly all-day Where carnivals of calamity Capture cretins carousing in vain Washing each drop of their humanity Down the hyperbolic drain Gaze in silent wonder At the spectacle of excess When it’s a bargain for a blunder There can beContinue reading “Theater of the Absurd”
Phantasmetaphoria
Begrudgingly from beyond The specter stealthily stepped Dragging corpses in its wake Of promises yet unkept. Hesitantly from haze The wraith restlessly returned Sweeping ashes from the grave Of happiness it burned. Distantly from darkness The spirit suddenly sprang Bearing scars of conflagration From the hatred that it sang. Gathered in a circle Repentant revenantsContinue reading “Phantasmetaphoria”
