Entangled
When sharing personal struggles to a loved one inflicts an ambiguous response, and you walk away more lost than before.
When we talked, I could tell you cared
Though it didn’t help we both felt scared
Then you drove away
Now it’s another day
And I’m lost without gray
Thinking,
Thinking,
Sinking,
Sinking in a sea of:
Black-and-white
Wrong and right
Love and fright
Dark and light
Who am I after we entangled our energy?
We love each other, but you don’t get me
Why does it hurt when you don’t see?
Rays of truth, courage and integrity
And now I’m so tired without direction
If I continue on, I’d need perfection
Because your fearful voice lingers in my head
Distorting my thoughts with what you said

Two Wrinkles In Time
It is pointless to run, my darling, because sixty seconds ago, I will kill you. My blade will have sliced reality open right in front of you. It will have first pierced it as it would a bed sheet left hanging to dry, flapping in the wind on a Sunday afternoon. But the metal will have drawn a line in the air that the ghostly tear will have followed. Then I, La Dyablès, machete firmly in hand, will have emerged from what your mind, at the time, could only interpret as the other side of here—whatever that means to you. I know. I have seen that look on the faces of countless unlucky… clients. You will not have been the first nor the last to try and reneg on a riches for soul contract only to present this visage to me when I come to collect.
