About me:
logo3We act in order to flee the void, to imply direction or purpose by the "act" of fleeing. At the cost of our innocence we acquire the consciousness of our estrangement from the objective world. The tragic nature of human existence, the fate a reflective soul experiences when it realizes that there is no meaning to its pain, is the profane birthright of our haunted self-awareness...Beyond the vanity of hope lies the comfort of disillusionment...Our most profound defiance is not directed outward to the political world of systems and hierarchies. It is, rather, directed at the terror of our own being. By giving our vision lucid form, we assert the power of the creative will over the self's ever degenerative, ever present, impulses towards oblivion and chaos...Hoping for nothing except the very remote we seek repose in the equivocal mystery of infinity. We are little better than clairvoyant puppets at times petulant... a cryptic convergence of anatomy and anxiety; shadows of a departed divinity in a theater of incidental gesture. .. Duration is without beginning or end. Space is limitless. Matter,in its elemental status, is eternal; and while subject to infinite changes may neither be created nor annihilated. Yet the soul of man is mortal. A man dies; the elements of his body survive and are transformed, his mind disappears, his unique soul perishes . . . The material evidence of life and time; the outmoded, the ephemeral, and the commonplace are gathered together and transformed by the recognition they generate, into symbols of the ambiguous nature of our being, a timeless narrative under the constant challenge of the inevitable.120407b You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM's MySpace Profile Editor! logo1

We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.

To win Death's young and bare heart-

with cries of disfiguring compromise

of a love that was never apart."

"we've slipped through the wake of morning's bloody show-

cloaked in printed flesh and marigolds to perfume our icons of bone.

Here we're adorned with the veils of sable hair

And the lustful stares into where heaven bares us in longing..." -Legion, The Method Learned

They say time heals all wounds. What if time is the illness?
When the child was a child that was the time of these questions:
Why am I me, and why not you?
Why am I here and why not there?

I have fallen a long way. Clouds are flowering


Blue and mystical over the face of the stars


Inside the church, the saints will all be blue,


Floating on their delicate feet over the cold pews,


Their hands and faces stiff with holiness.


The moon sees nothing of this. She is bald and wild.


And the message of the yew tree is blackness - blackness and silence.
