  • Lead into Gold

    The great alchemical crossover

    A violent opening of the doors within

    I strip away all my love from my power

    Revoking, thus, my power I have given to my pain

    Seeing new truths of my becoming

    It is time for the priorities to be rearranged

    I give my power to my love

    And then my love to my pain

    For too long I was too proud to understand

    Unaware of the end goal it was aiming for

    All that sculpting and molding it orchestrated

    My thanks, for all it has done, goes to my pain

    Nonetheless, my love has taken the golden throne again

  • The Written Word and the Poet

    The written word is the path,

    The path that leads away from wrath.

    The poet is hunted but also the hunter.

    The written word is liberation,

    Liberation is the call of the nation.

    The poet is lost but also the map.

    The written word is escape,

    Escape like fermented grape.

    The poet is sick but also the doctor.

    The written word is truly joy,

    Joy mixed with grief, an emotional alloy.

    The poet is the sword but also the shield.
