If I’d lived my life by what others were thinkin’, the heart inside me would’ve died

I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity

Someone had to reach for the risin’ star, I guess it was up to me

Poem: A Virtual Rose




A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. ---Shakespeare

Single Red Rose


A ROSE IS A ROSE...IS A ROSE...IS A ROSE
unless it is  a VIRTUAL ROSE;
then it is a guillotine thing
cut from the root twice dead
digitally dissected and pixellated into thousands of deaths
ultimately to deceive--its beauty a lie
A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME IS STILL A ROSE
but a VIRTUAL ROSE IS A Guillotine THING
