Jaffa

I refine my momentum
To incline my degree
And decline my distractions
To define –
What I see.

Tel Aviv, Israel – January 2017

Hodenpyl

In the shivering blackness
I see light,

I see the good
Within the bad,

The subtle veneer
Of untruths,

As I demand
A uniqueness of reason,

Within the blackness
Of reality.

The point of misjudgment
The reflex of fate
Reveals –
Your tattered awareness
In the moments
Of hate.

Tenderloin

Sleeping through the present
While waiting out a life
Reveals more shameful moments
Of the growing –
Lonely strife.

Look through
Yourself
View –
What makes you
Itself,

And be true
To self
By thinking
Through –
Oneself.

I craze through my anger
I slip through my hate
I reek with defiance
To shake all –
I fake.

I crash, on my inside
I break, from within
I flash, to my dark side
To shake –
This fake skin.

breakthrough

A sense of movement, upon me
The call that shakes, of now
The time has come, for a presence
That will let my soul, allow.

Carving through the current
Cruising through a space
A vector to our way point
Resets –
Our sense of place.

distance

Light from a shadow
Sneaks from within
Waking its master
By shaking –
Its sin.
