A poem/complaint about my unfortunate health conditions. Feeling it tonight…
Tremors – beyond control!
Insomnia – beyond my sanity!
Seizures – death to my soul…
Seizures. Another seizure.
Another life flashes before my eyes and burning from within-without.
Shaking, convulsing,
Internally,
Externally, and
Wherein, I am but a conduit betwixt two opposing, and abject currents of electricity.
Tearing me to 10,000 puzzle-pieces, for me to attempt (in the most obvious futility) to heal this cirrhosis of my soul.
In a grand mal outer-body experience
there I am. Convulsing into eternity, sleepless and
afflicted by your tiny world, and so thusly I
shake… and I can see
that what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger…
Or just ruins your fucking life.

I am a poet, musician, sideshow performer, and songwriter based in Denver, CO. I have an experimental solo-project called Tantrik Nihilist and I play in a hardcore punk band called Caltrops.
I will primarily be posting poetry and lyrics on here. Although, I do have writings in other styles that will published. Topics I primarily influenced by (or write about) various esoteric, occult, and religious philosophies, particularly Hindu Tantra and Magick. I’ve always been interested deeply in history, the avant-garde, and various sciences, which has certainly impacted my writing. I certainly write a lot of sociologically and politically charged material as well. Particularly in Caltrops. More than anything I’m interested in the nature of consciousness and of the universe and reality as whole.
