Said
The open ends of time well spent, while drifting between the light that’s sent. Finding ways, not always right. But nearing that which I see in sight. Past neverendings and new beginnings, till beginnings become an ending. And finally that … Continue reading

Teardrop
I wipe emotion from my eyes. And watch it dry inside. A teardrop never lies. As it slowly melts and dies. There’s a tremble in disguise. And slowly I surmise. That love never really sighs. It just blossoms in the … Continue reading
Midnight Tears
Midnight tears trickle down a cheek of discontent. They fall like rubies to the ground, colored by different shades of intoxication. Misplaced treasures gather at my feet, forgotten emotions that are only missed when the inevitable waves of time washes … Continue reading
Silent Night
Silent night… come still this voice. Let my cares burn before me in a flare of emotion so bright it causes their eyes to turn away. And as the night creeps in I will steal away, to seek the end … Continue reading
Heartbeat
Do we count the heartbeats to understand your worth? And weigh your soul against the dead. You are lifted as a banner and paraded around for a cause, but all you wish to do is truly live. We cry real … Continue reading
Different Paths
I view the world through a cascade of color. Prisms of light shine through the twin teardrops I have bred, but not yet given birth to. They hang upon my being and sway in a desperate attempt to not succumb … Continue reading

Start, Stop, Pause, Repeat – Death
They say that you are more likely to get in an auto accident within ten minutes of your home due to complacency. The most dangerous place in America is the four-way stop. It is the only time you can observe … Continue reading

Random Thoughts
Writing, at least lately, has become a habit of typing my thoughts. While this is not in reality a “bad” thing, for it provides entertainment and moments of thought (hopefully) for my readers… still sometimes I catch myself pondering “the … Continue reading
Midnight Rain
Raindrops falling from above, give their souls up with a splash upon my windowpane. Selling their lives for my visual appetite, how selfish am I? And still the angels weep for joy and sorrow and cause the sparkling showers that come … Continue reading
Walking Reflections
Walking reflections they share my past. Like simultaneous televisions, they portray the steps that lead to the next one yet to be taken. I cut the blindfold from my face with the dagger of despair and accept what I may … Continue reading
The Jester
He hides his pain behind a permanent smile. Making other people laugh, while feeling no joy. A beautiful painting of conflicting emotion. Suspended in ultimate devotion. To the task of making other humans laugh. A slave, a servant, is there … Continue reading
Winter’s Night
She holds my hand and we step into a moment of our own. Nothing else matters, you share everything regardless of what type of emotion is being ingested at that given time. I feel that way about my wife and … Continue reading

Melting Dreams
Melting dreams they drip from above. Tumbling down filled with love. Love and hope that will never see the light. Try and try as we might. I would not say I am an example to follow. To perhaps read in … Continue reading

Seaside, Florida
The date is set and already my mind travels to your shores. I smell the salt in the air and hear the waves in the distant. This small town has become our hideaway from the world. Here we forget societal … Continue reading
There is a hole in my pocket
There is a hole in my pocket. I dare not place anything of value within it. I wonder now what may have been already lost. Have I been giving to the world blindly and do inadvertent gifts of charity count … Continue reading
Abandoned Warrior
You kneel there facing the sun. Contemplating a lifetime in a moment as you gaze at the light for the last time. The sun seems to strive at forcing away the quickly tumbling curtain upon reality before your eyes. It … Continue reading
My God
My God comforts me in the morning. He listens to me in the evening and whispers to me during the night. He calms me when I allow it. I ignore him often, but he does not seem to mind. Like … Continue reading

What a Disappointment You were
What a disappointment you were. I got dressed and drove in the middle of the night for you. You lured me in with your false promises of succulent satisfaction. Whisper not in my ear anymore of delicious aromas that we … Continue reading
Footprint in the Snow
A footprint in the snow is found. Where did fleeting being bound? I see the scene clearly in my mind. It brings warmth to my heart of some kind. I can almost hear her giggle in the wind. My Anna, … Continue reading
Personal
I close my eyes and the pain stops. For without reality there is no now and I am able to hover within a second… for a second. I sense every nerve in my body. They stand at attention and await … Continue reading

The Photo
It was at the bottom of the box. And yet it felt as if it was placed there, not left. A hidden memory, waiting to become a new memory. It is a treasure more valuable than gold. It is faded, … Continue reading

Morning Dew
Morning light sparkles, diamonds in the rough be found. Morning dew trembles on unremarkable mound. A worker sits, his night shift done. Now it is off to the morning fun. But first he sits and drinks his morning dew. Letting his … Continue reading
Clearly I See
Crisp, the morning air almost hurts for me to breath. I blow fog with each breath I take. It is cold, cold and wet; I feel the damp grass slowly soaking my wool jacket. Above a bird of some type … Continue reading
Tired
Lucid dream, lucid dream, do I wake. Fleeting dreams depart like waves from yonder lake. And yet still do I breath sleep’s fresh kiss. Now in stark reality do I surely miss. What will it take to dream again. This … Continue reading
