The ceramic cup sits directly on the coffee table. The hot moisture seeping from the base sure to leave a circle shaped reminder upon the wood. I don’t care. Steam shoots from the clear liquid within the cup, one form transforming to another, ghosting its former state, adding particles to and changing the air it […]

What is now?
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.

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 […]

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 […]
