It’s Okay For The Journey To Be Over
“After all we’ve been through, It can’t be over, you must keep going” One said as a partner grew Colder, with a contented smile of knowing He grabbed a hand and said “It’s okay for the journey to be over, That’s the best part, because That’s when you can start a new one, Rest a moment, then see what’s next” A tear fell, and words quivered “I...

When The Leaves Are Rotting
There is an old tree on the lawn And although I am not always there I carry it with me wherever I go It is a pillar throughout the year And from a lofty perch up in it I enjoy the cradling of the wind. When the bending heartwood speaks I hug the branch I'm so often on. When the season is full and green Leaves flicker silver in the sun. There is...

Well if you don’t take risk in life you...
I can’t wait for lunch to eat my chicken breast. That cream cheese has been sitting out for two days. That is what she said. Twiddle my thumbs and bend back my tongue. Not that it matters yet the verse was more than a song. He is a thought not a matter of factual fiction where the mouse is on a clock and runs into the block. Tick tock is the sound...

Happy #%€¥ing New Year
Stubborn refusal to talk to me Means I’ll never understand, Why every step I take To close the gap Is another step she takes away Autism grates on every nerve A pain no one deserves But when does refusal to heal Stop being the fault of illness, When does the swearing and threats Become a crime, And not just disease, 2025… another year, The more...

Tomorrow
Icy cold winds of tomorrow Few take refuge in the fog Hiding was never an option Escape not enough to soothe Living is hardship and Hardship astoundingly cruel Cold harsh draughts of tomorrow Feral as you may be I fear not your judgment I cower not from your will I will always stand steadfast In spite of the storm’s sting Freezing gales...

ocean's edge
my days go quickly my nights are quiet in a morbid kind of way the mind the body less will to move have led my hopes astray so many things that are left to do are buried in my dreams things that once were goals to me have faded in the seams when the memories begin to drift away when the body is in decline take me to the ocean's edge and leave me...

Nosferatu (repost from May-2016 in...
Exceeding the passion of these most love torn dreamers he languishes in the glow of his millionth Sunset then vanquishes the dreams of his millionth soul a paradox lover of night taker of life Nosferatu walks silent and alone living not by minutes, days or years the pros and cons of never-ending life on earth the ecstasy and the terror of...

FOR YOU
FOR YOU Tell me what a star is If it's just a mangled mess of exploded ashes that somehow someway turned into magic I want to be that too for you I want to make your dreams come true Cuz there's nothing I wouldn't do To trace each scar with outlined hearts show you how all your flaws are art And that your flame is hissing like The fiercest snake...

View From a Car at Night, 1962
Driving solo through the dark at night, ’49 Dodge, green and battered and slow, black in front black behind, black all around, nowhere to go, but I’m on the move, not driving away or driving to, it’s chilly but the heater’s on and I’m warm here in my womb, but the farther I push the pedal down, the more static on the radio, so I lift my foot...

Lamellae
I awoke this morning in a warm room with hydrostatic thoughts diffusing with the early drip-tension of sunlight. Muscles sore, body slow, I maneuvered through some basic intuitive limbering, stretching the body to fill up the soul, heart, and mind. That was my intention; but then, I didn't really have an initial value for the day, for these chain...

What’s In Front Of Me
It seems like I can’t be seen People always think I’m mean, No matter what I do It never seems to come through There’s evil behind every deed Or so they all seem to believe No one can just be nice Echos in my head every night What’s causing the illusion they see I need to know what’s in front of me
