The Christian Kabbala of “William Shake-speare”
The latest in my papers to appear on Google's Academia: The Christian Kabala of "Shake-speare", an Examination of the Allusions and Structures to the Rosicrucian, Cabalist and Alchemical Teachings in William Shakespeare’s Plays and Poetry.
We saw the tear, we saw the chasm of experience
In our time no one came to transubstantiate the grain
We thought we could even communicate

The Secret Alchemy of Shakespeare
What is often ignored or overlooked by academics is the vast amount of occult and magical references in Shakespeare's plays and poetry to the art of astrology, alchemy and magic. Qudos Academy examines in detail the "Bard's" interest in Neo-Platonic Symbolism from the time.

Last Time
You see, as I’ve been waiting on the love of my life
Waiting so we can walk off into paradise
Thinking I was in love
Once, maybe twice before
Now I know betta
So Imma do betta
But not before I hit up not bae
Told ‘em let me put this thang on ya
One last time
Before the love of my life comes
Knocking on my door
One last time, before we have to say goodbye
Let me ...

Elixir
I drink the elixir of your words
to calm my nerves,
to hear the crunch of leaves
on my way to brighter days,
to see another creative soul
soar above the chaos of a broken life,
to witness corrosion
turn to gold,
to prolong the beauty of this moment,
indefinitely.

What Became Of That Poor Girl?
Nothing could stop what we did
Alchemy dictates its conclusion,
Tangled in an urgent chemistry
Physically desperate for fusion
What became of that poor girl?
Hiding those scars on her wrist
Bruises like plates on her back
Her lips in pain when we kissed
A freshers' conference is wild
Or used to be in olden times
Before masks and distancing
And other anti-...

Disappearing Ink
You pen beautiful poems,
revealing hurts, worries,
secret desires of your soul.
Dancing on high wires,
creating cosmic alchemy,
then your words
are gone in a blink.
You must be using
disappearing ink!

My Dopamine
Your words flow
though my veins
and light up my soul
like nothing
I've ever known.
Chemical alchemy.
Cosmic destiny.
Beyond comprehension.
From another dimension.
Steam. My dopamine.

The Illusionist
It seems that the old-time "magic show" is experiencing something of a renaissance, especially in the visual mass media. Even so, I doubt its fundamental attraction will alter one iota. The gap between acclaim and scorn is still wafer-thin.
The Illusionist
Pay attention, dear reader, and I'll weave a magic vein,
where rabbits live in top hats and assistants float in air,
wher...
