Pause for Poetry

I believe in being direct with words in my music. I've always felt that the people can relate better to the music when they feel like the artist is speaking to them personally. But sometimes I just write abstract pieces that I've never made into songs. Enjoy...


Sitting...anticipating the rejuvenation of life. Not as a biological entity, nor as
an anatomical product of sexual reproduction. But a human, in its purest form,
inately entitled to happiness, exhiliration, anger, infuriation, lust, love, jealousy,
hate of and with self. Against my will, I have been stripped of my zest for
existence. The blissful ignorance that I grasped so tightly as a youth has been
usurped by a jaded overstanding of the inequities and injustices of my world.
But, it is because I am of my world that I can appreciate the perpetual possibility
of a life different to my own. I can revel in the realization that every passing
moment is an opportunity for change.






My mind sits...heavy in reservoirs of self-actualization.Cloudy. My thoughts

intertwine with cummilous clouds settling subtly above mountains of indignation.

Pristine horizons engulf my insecurities as rivers give way to an everlasting stream

of consciousness. Water runs like libations poured in rememberance of ignorance

and innocence. And yet, nothing of self is sufficient. Want and desire lay within the

realm of my very existence; reaching, clawing, pawing, yearning for that passionate

eclipse. The ORGASMIC instant of animalistic, primal oneness could not be uttered

by virgin lips. NO! it must be spoken is painful tounges of experience and tragedy.
