Regressing interactions
From repeating abstractions
Delivers a sharp lash
To disclose a secret cache
Of ill fated actions.

Distorting effects
Strangely perceived
Hints at a notion
Of being deliberately
Deceived.

The moment of non decision
The point of no return
To embrace your anti rapture
Is where your faith forever
Turns.

Seeking the hidden solstice
Inside out, from my mind
Reveals the faintest glimmer
Of a dark intelligence,
Defined.

Inversions as background
Invite us to see
Wisps of pure beauty
Bursting,
To be free.

Painting
An outer edge,
From the distant
Dark
To a newborn,
Light.

Reveals
An inner truth,
By extracting
Color
From atrophic,
Bright.

From higher to gone
From opaqueness to dawn
The simplicity
In truth
Is never wrong.

Restrict on the quick
Retract on the slow
Consider un-direction
In the arc
Of our relative
Flow.

A moment of time
As a glimmer of grand
Is intrinsically,
Entwined
As its beauty,
Commands.
