Are you striving to gain TRACTION online?
Do you wish your passion was your occupation?

You have extraordinary ideas and creations people will LOVE. You have a creative gift and meaningful stories — of huge social RELEVANCE — to tell but can't find the words to make it attractive. You felt you're called to do something that truly MATTERS, yet struggle to draw genuine attention and be heard. 
You have given up on the pursuit of doing what you believe you've been called and made to do.

Let me welcome you to where creative passion, occupation, life reflections along with any referenced practical information converge in—The Subtle Arttraction;.

My name is Brandon, and I'd like to introduce myself as a young, perpetual inquisitor of wisdom, with passion for the subtle art of self expression through rhymed verses. A "versesmith", a personal jargon I coined to ascribe a balladist/lyricist, or in lay terms - a poet. 

The Parceling Hymn Of Heaven And Hell | Joseph Relativo-Brandon Joseph

No radiance / but hers / hails each dappled night / Beyond the blankness / of a mind without / time / The moon whimpers / over the death / of the light / So hateful is the way / of a sanctimonious / clime / That the stars / now opt to wilt / and greet demise / Yet still I see / the gleam / in her undaunted eyes / Seas slink with fear / as she flutters her hands / Across the dimness / of the bleakest mystery / While the ground prepares / along the sands / Its own burial / shall be as plaintive / as history / The world is about to die / doleful in her arms / I tighten the renunciation / of all her charms / The wrought sky / pours down / a repentant woe / She utters / a word that upends / the bleats of fire / The sun writhes / at long last / as a conquered foe / Of the latter tears / of mankind shed / in the mire / Her chants pare / the wind / and smite a lonely belle / Do heed the parceling hymn / of Heaven and Hell.

The Death Of Every Human Vanity | Joseph Relativo-Brandon Joseph

The Death Of Every Human Vanity

God carved / a footing / in one storied barrier / The unkind wind / changes / The Scarlet Letter / Into a hue / that is more dreaded / which is / the all in all / Woeful / is the destiny / of the world / about to fall / The whole universe / can be / the widest prison / The pride / of mortals at fault / can no longer reason / In the loudest clamor / God shall silence / egos / Aimless / shall be the cry / of the culpable / so it goes / Guilty souls / are inmates / detained / by kismet / Alas! / they shall be forced / to pay / each debt / For thousands of years / the torrents whipped / The cove between / the dungeon / and the sea lipped / To tear down / the wall / of the feigning society / Shamefully pestiferous / God shall shatter it / with fluency / The longest communion / of all time / is but a try / To appease the Lord / with sham devotion / that shall only fry / And grill / their pretenses / the dug grave / is ready / To receive / the death / of every human vanity.

"The Apocalypse" | Joseph Relativo

The Apocalypse

The wind through the trees / is the portent / On a sunset apparition / a Phantom schemes / Her shade kisses the floor / of a monument / The Beast appears / in everyone’s dreams / Alas! / everything is placed / beneath his feet / The Victor brings forth / the world’s defeat / Homes everywhere / are drenched in fear / The secret is sealed / with the revelations / God sends a great delirium / from a sphere / He shines in the dark / in the tribulations / Truth speaks more strident / than the thunder / For each lie / a reckoning ruins / the order / Mankind is overthrown / in the tumult / The streets / of all consciousness / twist / The parade of bereavement / hails a cult / The gallows haunt / the corners of a vespertine mist / As pestiferous deaths / grip all horizons / The so-called rapture shall not occur / for foolproof reasons / An Emperor raises to Heaven / the demise of Earth / through his vast dominion / while the Christ acts along / with the axis / of light and darkness / from oblivion / Human boast dies / through the turmoil / The ire banishes / whatever is left / to foil / The Antichrist / brings on the very hour / when rumors / of the final war / come true / Waves of mysteries / rise in things dour / The moon is covered with blood / so new / The perfect timing of of God / ushers in the fall / His wrath comes shattering / every wall.

"The Truth On Your Lips" | Joseph Relativo Vicaro—Brandon Joseph

The Truth On Your Lips

If you would / just put across / the fact / that you have passion / for me / we can seize time / and act / admit your love / and grasp eternity / if you would / just find expression / with certainty / that all you can be / is a friend / I will have to endure it / with dignity / and not wallow in pain / in the end / if you would / just put across / the case / that you may have no ardor / to confess / I will have to accept / it with grace / and let you go / with my last caress / but / if you would / just find expression / with honesty / that you never / ceased to care / I would be stunned / beyond felicity / we could begin / a rapturous affair / your bearing / ever so tightly / grips / yet even belatedly / I am set / to hear the truth / on your lips.

"The Paramount Heaven" | Brandon Joseph—Joseph Relativo

The Paramount Heaven

The truth / beneath your blessed eyes / is your shrouded private Paradise / Above the worth / of your own Eden / is a soft spot / that prays / for many a heathen / Just nearby / the mystery of your lustrous hair / thus far beams / the sightliest ray / one can tell / anywhere / Your glance / that surrounds this place / leads to / where I first fell / from grace / Your visage / is adorably / the most beautiful / I live first with the cross / that is perdurable / the commission / of cheating death / was what I have done / just to take / a spirited breath / My deepest deed / still wrought with hope / shall always be / enraptured as I cope / I confess / that my days are in the dew / I set you free / from what is true / Below your cheeks / teem a trying chill / I shall deal with one / prodigious thrill / The truth beneath / your blessed eyes / and above the worth / of your own Eden / are your inviolate lips / that I ponder upon / as the paramount Heaven.

"I AM" | Brandon Joseph—Joseph Relativo

I AM

Before everyone was / I AM / I set apart / the boon / from the bane / I set apart / the mirth / from the pain / I set apart / the truth / from the lie / I set apart / the laugh / from the cry / I set apart / the mild / from the stern / I set apart / the hail / from the spurn  / Ever I exist / as the Pater / of Wisdom / by which / you fathom / your gist  / I set apart / the hate / from the love / I set apart / the crow / from the dove / I set apart / the death / from the life / I set apart / the scarce / from the rife / I set apart / the west / from the east  / I set apart / the Pope / from the Beast  / All falsehoods / I shall slam / for I AM.

"Perfect Day" | Joseph Relativo Vicaro

Perfect Day

So I grip the wind / next to me / lo / you are here / and I feel free / The dress you now wear / is modish and new / The sky is blushing / and so are you / We have been here together / before / but now I care for you / all the more / from my innermost it elevates / to the heights of Heaven's gates /

"The Truth In Your Soul" | Joseph Relativo Vicaro

The Truth In Your Soul

Come to me / even just through the reflection / of the moon / for I have an encumbrance / that knows no rest / If ever / you have to get out of my sight / so soon / so be it / even if your disdain for me / is now my penultimate test / “Yet who shall be the principal witness / of your charm?” / I might not be there / in your grisliest hours / “Who shall be the primary beholder / who could spare you from harm?” /
