Kal Archer and the Shah of Athabasca

The decisions we decide, Keep us bound together. The promises we promise, Keep us bound. The choices we choose, Keep us. ~The Shah of Athabasca I'd like to write my best song, Ever. No thing so casual as to Drag out every point by point, Detail that tedious encounters Don't (rarely) but can provide. In fact it's no easy song sung. For as many reasons as there are To write it, you see? So much to Read for. Have you ever feared a good thing? I'd like to write a memorable song Someday. - Victor Imari (16/09/05)

The difference between being Discontent and being unhappy Is that function of happiness: Being content of discontent. ~ The Shah Of Athabasca Passion's beauty incarnate, Love is labour of beautiful, And love of beauty is truth: Dreamy thoughts can be true, Whenever passion is sincere; Love of beauty is the passion: Where labour's commitment, Not to that driving passion, But the beauty of sincerity. ~ Victor Imari (27/10/2006)

Dare you remember One of those days, When nothing made Sense except that, Nothing made sense. There is that time, Then to take time To make amends, And ensure service Where every detail Matters; only you Know y our own:   Destination's w orth....        Victor Imari (09/06)

It's either a torpedo Or a really big fish. ~ The Shah of Athabasca Happiness is measured In perceived successes.

There was this story, As goes much history: Sometimes it's best to Let people think through... Without the questionably Beneficial distraction of you It is a tale indeed, Of two great cities: Something always comes From intimacy, but offering Solutions to thirst isn't always Called water. Pride precludes That whenever the worst of Times hit, so does victory. - Victor Imari (08/06)

   Whatever I write, er  Is the truest truth, er    ~ The Shah of Athabasca    If I am earth, Swept by winds, Then I know, Fires abound.   If I am wind, Bound by fires, There I may know, Anonymous winds.   And if I am fire, In search of air That much I know: Balls of fire here.   Free,   Balls of fire here.    Victor Imari  (06/21/06)

  We are brought into Each others universe   Just ripe enough:   Spoiled, really spoiled Sometimes, spoilt even;   Or, right:   Just ripe enough.         ~Victor Imari (6/14/06)

    Any leap aught,     Not be forced.       ~ The Shah of Athabasca   From courage, Or desperation:   There is an end, To everything...   There is an end, To every beginning;   And every end too.       Victor Imari (6/1/2006)

In my life, there Are distractions. ~ The Shah of Athabasca Everywhere is authenticity; Verification that progress Requires much discipline, To access safest potentials When opportunities flower. Victor Imari (5/29/06)

    To listen is...     To l ove silence       ~The Shah of Athabasca   Sound is everything Next to which lurks   Silence beyond what Beckons, but flows   As if membranes Through caverns   Bestowed without Electricity even   Here       Victor Imari (5/14/06)

     To golf or write,      That's all right.            ~ The Shah Of Athabasca   Always, there Are obstacles   To commandeer And overcome   With desire, Duly aspired:   You can't But know   The landscape All too well,   If it hasn't Nailed you (yet)   There is trajectory.       Victor Imari      

A peace of the action can Best a piece of an action.       ~The Shah of Athabasca   My life is Nairobi. My days are like...   Dar Es Salaam; There is Peace,   Everywhere all Most harmonica   (There must be  a piece here).       ~Victor Imari (09/04)

The longer I look around, The more I am convinced:   There are things to be done, And there are other things,   Either to avoid, or not Necessary. You know:   That extra time around When we wonder about   When we make time to Make sense of writing   Down our thoughts Out loud - like?    ~Victor Imari

   Sometimes it's  Probably wiser  To pray than  To worry later.    ~ The Shah of Athabasca   There are good Followers, bad   Followers, good Bad followers,   Bad good followers, Good bad followers,   You get the idea: Followers are,   Generally... Questionable.    ~ Victor Imari (3/2/06)

 Bad language is a frustration.     ~ The Shah of Athabasca   Various appearances of significance And disappearance of insignificance Share a unique relationship that is Seldom but insignificant in itself:   Your most insignificant action might Well save the universe of a lifetime Of significance is measured in terms Of time, and space. So much so, that   Without significance would be chaos.        Victor Imari (01/06)

 Felix, our beloved spider  Was everywhere, and beloved  As ever he blessed us all.     ~The Shah of Athabasca   Jimmy the mad man was Not there this time, but   His presence was: Why not? Why not be fearless? Yet...   There was fear. These people Dreaded Jimmy. Jimmy did   Their worst anticipation: Better pretending to be ,   Better than they'd ever Seen before their eyes   Landed back, and saw The future bounce back.        Victor Imari (01/06)

It takes no time To go nowhere, It takes forever To go everywhere.   Johnny wanted To run away as Fast he could All in peace,   Without reserve, To live by rules Mitigated only By innovation,   For as long as He could figure, On being alive To then believe,   It takes no time, To go nowhere, It takes forever To go everywhere.  ~Victor Imari (10/27/05)

The brightest star Among millions, Doesn't illuminate The other stars.    ~ The Shah of Athabasca   I've chosen Yogi Bera's advice, I've done so more than once.   Like confessions on confetti, I've felt most of my travels.   Where I didn't want to stay, I moved on to places I knew:   If I could do it all again, I'd do it in reverse by now.    - Victor Imari (10/7/5)    

     Any old shplan might       Work with problems.                 ~The Shah of Athabasca   Any old thing you may Feel can be made up   Of your very own life's Dreams and desires,   Failures, triumphs, You get the idea...   All those feelings, Bound to collide,   On but one condition: That they're allowed.        ~Victor Imari (29/08/05)
