Come on, come on, be the flame. Please, oh please, be the blaze. I’m begging, and begging, for a glimmer in the haze. I’m searching, and searching, for an exit in the maze. Go for it, go for it, be the fire. Please, oh please do, be all I desire. I’m searching, and yearning, for […]
Abjectness
It was a mistake to think, I could live in this world. It was error to think I’d fit in. There were so many flags that told me there was no place, for the being that I am. I walked someone else’s walk, and was the mouthpiece for other’s words, yet knew not what […]
Open Heart Assimilation (XV)
Tristan stood at the shore of an expansive lake. He searched the twilight for a shore across the water, but he found little definitive evidence, beyond a far-off treeline, to determine an end to the liquid mirror. His feet impressed upon the soft, damp, ghostly, grey and silver sand. He pinched small chunks between his […]
Open Heart Devouring (XIV)
With the fingers of his right hand still pinching the key, Tristan held the panel open, and his left hand maintained it’s grip on the large section of muscle and flesh. Tristan was frozen for several moments, as he took in the unorthodox scene, reflected into his eyes from the mirror. Several droplets of crimson […]

Open Heart Empowerment (XIII)
Tristan reached out, pressed the thumb latch downwards, pulled the door open, then stood motionless, for many seconds. His teeth crunched together forcefully, and there was no gap between the straight line of his lips. Slowly, and deliberately, Tristan pulled in air through his flaring nostrils, and forcefully snorted it out. He took the few, […]

Those who have been ipa fans for a long time, have been gravitating away from the piney, bitter, clean, dank, ipa style brewed […]
Open Heart Metamorphosis(XII)
Instead of a sharp, metallic, click, Tristan heard a high-pitched shriek. The scream was so loud, and shrill, that he became momentarily disoriented. His hands being otherwise engaged, Tristan was unable to shield his ears from the cry. The piercing wail was so intense that he had to shut his eyes to feel a sense […]
Optimisoul
Though I’ve died, a hundred thousand deaths inside, that which makes me real, whole, vibrant, passionate, understanding, loving, and, the best of all that is human, is that my soul perseveres. Humbly yours, J
Open Heart Extrication(XI)
The sparse, unrefined, yet comfortable, lodgings, appeared before him in pulsing increments. Firstly, the floor in front of him appeared, where his left leg paused in its stationary position. Next, the bed appeared, still disheveled, but reassuring in its disarray. Finally, the surreal, shrouding bubble popped, and blew it’s shell outwardly, exposing the remainder of […]
