What would happen if you were gone? Would we move on or slowly fade away like a dying sun? Would we still have memories, warm emotions… or sink tortured to our insanity’s deepest oceans? Would we still grip easily to rationality or be just phantoms, Shells of our former selves, cursed to live in a […]
Our Inner Cosmos Take a deep breath! Gather your wits and all of your strength. Are you prepared? Be sure, for once you take this journey, your heart at breakneck speeds will be propelled. Yes? Fine then. Grab a mirror from your den, Hold it up to your face and prepare for the leap. The […]
The golden-rod is yellow; The corn is turning brown; The trees in apple orchards With fruit are bending down. The gentian’s bluest fringes Are curling in the sun; In dusty pods the milkweed Its hidden silk has spun. The sedges flaunt their harvest, In every meadow nook; And asters by the brook-side Make asters in […]

Though La Serenissima was another name […]

Countless worlds and lives I’ve seen lost, As goodwill and morality aside were tossed. I have witnessed heroes rise and smite cruelty incarnate down Treated with great respect, yet… as […]
As the day takes off the heated crown, So does the leaf change its skin As do all of its kin. As the clouds split open, The rivers again swell… Autumn rain water falling down. The day’s no longer bright, The tugging ball of flame is no longer gazing, Its lava sight no longer scarring… […]

Can you feel the heat? Do you sense every single atom boiling off your skin? Do you feel so good you think “Not religious, but it’s so amazing! Enjoying it must surely be a sin!” ? Well congrats, my friend, for getting off your seat! Nod your head like you’ve never felt pain or sorrow, […]
