When we glance over our shoulders we don’t check for friendly faces. We look backwards only to make sure we are moving in the right direction Chased only look back to ensure they evaded the pursuer. Rifling through memories is the equivalent of shaking hands with ghosts. Sharing the pictures only serves to conjure that […]

Let down, replace. Let down, repeat.
I got stuck, deep in your web of lies, clinging for dear life as our boat capsized. I bought in, to the pitch you were sellin’, Holding tight to the bouquet that was dyin’. You’re a let down, but you wont be the last one. You’re a let down baby, and you thought I was […]
Returning to the Outdoors
This morning my legs carried me, to the peaks of mountains. Not long ago, my ears heard no sound of commotion. At a quarter past nine, my hands could touch the skies. As the sun rose through the clouds, I could smell the pines. Not long after dawn, I gazed down upon valleys. As midday […]
Open Heart Anguish (XVII)
“You followed me?” she stammered. His answer was devoid of emotion. “That’s correct, I did follow you.” “You can’t be serious. This must be a joke.” “If I was acting a prankster, and my admission of tailing you when you left the house but a simple, roguish trick, this entire scene would be far more […]
Open Heart Shadow (XVI)
Tristan walked toward the open door with an energetic swagger. He ignored the pitiful moans coming from the mangled figure behind him. He could feel a tingling rush of energy, power, and virility, surging through his body. It had been a considerable time since he had this type of sensation. He tried to recall when […]
Once Upon a War Crime
There we were, You and I. Staring into, each others eyes. Then we were, so sublime. Together forever, Once upon a time. There we were, intertwined. Nothing concerning, Naught in mind. Then we were, passionate and blind. Engulfed in each other, two stars aligned. There we were, without care. Content in the moment, going nowhere. […]
Severing Fruitless Branches
In every person, I’ve always found something. Something from which to learn, to help make me better. Better than I was before. More loving and understanding. Understanding of others, and myself. And more thoughtful. Thoughtful about how I acted, and of received treatment. Treatment of my heart, body, emotions, and my soul. A soul that […]
I’m here for you! (As long as there’s drama)
Many years ago I stumbled upon a quirky, creative, and insightful movie. This movie featured several scenes involving fairly prominent actors. The short scenes totaled no more than several minutes each. Each scene highlighted a different theme ranging from humorous, to scientific, to melancholy, and even ironic. Each short had different actors. In one, Bill Murray […]
Anticipation-Letdown
Do you remember that intense excitement? Do you recall the degree of anticipation? Can you feel the intense desire for that highly sought after experience? Perhaps, when you were a young child, there was a planned trip to an amusement park. You had the knowledge weeks in advance of the date of the trip. As the […]
Whiskey, Disappointment, Death.
Everyday I look at the outcomes, Each day I’m scanning the scene. I’m longing and searching and wishing for some kind of meaning. Everyday I desire an outlook, Each day want the serene. I’m begging and pleading, and yearning for everything to not be obscene. Everyday I yearn for a vista, A place to see […]
