Part of us
Something speaks from beyond
Something writhes alive
In each of us
Something pulls and breathes
Beyond our touch
They call it instinct
But it is magically distinct
And can lead, lead, lead
To something in your core
They call it power of the brain
But it’s so much more
It cannot be explained away
It cannot be spoken out of existence
They call it the mi...

Beauty in Bass Rock
A shining stone on the horizon.
In a stunning world, it does it’s bit.
You may find it surprising,
This beauty is just shit.
Or guano to be more correct,
Though crap it is to most.
It beckons me to come inspect,
Though I’d rather not get close.
It catches me slumped in blue,
When chuckles are more sparse.
Cheers me to think that such a view

Aethereal protégée
Universal consciousness is omnipresent
— living vicariously, we too are one - and the same,
Having the time of our lives

in our initials is a chemical signature—me and my significant other have between us—
this bond, that

It’s rare to stumble across this:
Land left without a manicure,
Raw nature, standing untended
Or, at least, unchanged for a while,
Allowed to spread its arms and breathe,
To relax, far from the treadmill.
Behind the padlock on the gate,
A run-down, flaking, disused shed
Is masked by brambles, overgrown;
A rusty post clasped half-way up
By suffocating, unscythed grass.

Illustrious Demiurge
Once in a blue moon and many light years ago,
Otherworldly starseeds began to incarnate,
and add to the menageries of the Milky Way's sacral space
in-between you and I: What a “sui generis”-jagged siamese
piece of a memory
with our other half
—filling us in—
on where we’ve been our whole life
So as to make known, any preconceived notion; shown in its true light, and meant to be…the des...
