Ep. 286 - Human Element Series - 2024 - Year of the SE

He drifted into my life
Eyes unreadable
Offered comfort
Irresistible and fleeting
Words like whispers
Carved stories in air
Told me I was chosen
But who’s really there?

Every glance
A tether unseen
Every touch
A cryptic scene
Made me feel like the lone flame
The truth layered in the shadow’s name

He’s an artist of illusion
A phantom veil
Threads promises woven
Destined to fail
Draws you in lets you breathe
Only to vanish when you start to believe

His laughter
A fleeting echo
In a hollow night
Played on loop 
Shifting dark to light
He turned silence 
Into something sweet
But the words 
Were never complete

Built me up
Piece by piece
Let me dream
Just to cease 
Left me searching
Left me frayed 
In the wake of trust decay

He’s an artist of illusion
A phantom veil
Threads promises woven
Destined to fail
Draws you in lets you breathe
Only to vanish when you start to believe

The mirage cracks
The mask disbands 
Empty echoes
Shifting sands 
I trace back the symbols
The ploy
A cycle repeated
The fragile decoy

He’s an artist of illusion
A phantom veil
Threads promises woven
Destined to fail
Draws you in lets you breathe
Only to vanish when you start to believe

So here’s to the ones caught in a snare
Who learned too late what’s truly there
Know these moments don’t define
Fractured hearts realign



Artist of Illusion

Lying and deception are an epidemic in our society, so much so that it is encouraged in many situations as a good thing to do. What does God think? What does Satan think? What SHOULD we think...and do?

Being Honest With Ourselves, People, and God

Broken promises echo like a ghost in my mind,  
Searching for a piece of you I can’t seem to find.  
Told me forever but forever didn’t last,   
All that's left now, are memories of the past.  

Broken Promises

NO GREY LINES

NO LOVE 4 EM

BLASTED

DEMON SPEAKS

"Sacred Serpents" weaves biblical imagery into a powerful tale of betrayal and deception. Through intense vocals and dark metaphors, it explores how holy facades can hide venomous intentions. The arrangement builds from quiet menace to explosive revelation, blending religious themes with raw emotional power. Each verse deepens the metaphor of sacred trust corrupted, while the chorus drives home the pain of betrayal by one who wears a holy mask.

Sacred Serpents

Music takes me to new worlds. Life is the best teacher. Writing about life is a challenge and experience is what guides me. Loves, pains, disappointments, sadness, joy, despair, hope, melancholy, happiness, all these feelings burn in my veins and make me create.
You all welcome to follow my journey.

Grateful beyond words for everyone who listens, likes, comments, and reposts my music. You’re the real MVPs who keep me going!
