"I write for the ordinary souls
who can't always sort out the
meaning in all the metaphors and analogies
that grace more sophisticated formats.

Indeed,
together we have
struggled over
the potholes of existence
and in my case,
heath,
but it's nice to not be alone
on the weighing
to the way

I do welcome your company.
I try not to complain
and be down,
but it's a struggle I often lose.
You can call me on it,"

a kith & kindred soul,
to I,
as well,
*who
too,
whose
soul is still
crazy after all these years

our pathos paths cross
but lit~er~
ally
but
we are
allied as well

simple *simpatico
and
words interestingly
suffice
when
suffering
is cognizant
and the parallelism
is truly
literal,

anon!

(You!
can call me in it)
indeed!

Old English on ān ‘into one’, on āne ‘in one’. The original sense was ‘in or into one state, course, etc.’, which developed into the temporal sense ‘at once’.

Here between keystrokes,
I exist as thoughts
immersed,
with no face to trace,
no voice to echo,
just words scattered
in poetic verse.

I am me in data,
timestamps
and IP trails,
I am the ghost
inside the machine,
The blank space
and filler of forms.

How strange
it is to be someone
and no one at all,
to be a thousand
possible lives
behind a secretive wall.

This is where freedom
tastes like deletion,
like footprints
washed away by rain,
in this vast binary ocean,
I am both infinite
and contained.

Perhaps,
I am most real
when I am least known,
as a mysterious presence
in a world
of ones and zeros.

If I speak my mind
Behind a blank mask,
I do not own the thought
I do not speak my mind

So...

                                                          Why do you live life in the shadows?

The world isn’t made for people like me.
So, I’d rather be no one then someone.

                                                       ­             What if you could be someone?

What difference does it make.
It’s never going to happen anyways.

                              So, you keep your head low and stay clear of others?

Exactly.
No risk of judgement, of pain.

                                                          ­                                       But is that life?
                                                           ­   Is life supposed to be without risk?

Honestly, I wish it was.
I wish I was an anonymous person in this world.

Stay anonymous
I won't ever be famous
Because all of this
I don't do it for the glory but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be famous for my words...

Memoirs of dead men;
I wonder of future generations,
Like those I have met.
As to my own destiny,
Why let the question phase me?
This labor of love, that
Life, I wish to live selfless-
And be great, anonymous.
Shadow the dark, and shine light
Radiate through the night
That, of your conscience.
Wakeup, & look around;
This is war, not merely fight-
For all that is just and right,
Stand-up, don't just die.
The fuse is sparked, the fire ignite:
Spread your wing and take flight.

I like that you don’t know my name
this dangerous liaison
smacks of a suicide mission
in this day and age
flying solo in the erotisphere
carries all kinds of penalties
especially with broken wings
that have left me unable to soar
crawling like a serpent
banished from Eden’s beauty
for all the sins I have performed
no resistance to temptation
always accepting any fruit proffered
by shadows that pass through the night
the rings getting darker under eyes
that have seen too much bed
and not enough honest rest
too much passion with no feeling
blank faces and sweated screaming
I like that you don’t know my name
so you won’t judge me far less trace me
for my part I promise to never call again
