I have found a room in the house, that you would no longer haunt. I have barricaded myself in this room, and have tried to dream your ghost away. But your wailing fills the halls. And your shrieks echo in the stairwells. Your chill seeps through the cracks, and your lavender tinged perfume wafts in […]

VOIDINTOHOPEEPOHOTNIDIOV
Never, is there a time and place to replace, that which is lost. Naught is the spot to look for that which was mistook. No more, is the area we canvas for that which can’t be fixed. Nothing, is the void, where we stash all we once held close. No chance, is what we give […]
Of a Chance
At the outset, the possibilities were many, the future was bright and hopeful, the outlook was wantonly optimistic. The broad scope of mutual intent, the want and promise of the world, could not be fully delivered for, or by either. So, in incrementally, tiny, measures, the euphoria did fade, and the emotional expanse, and all of […]
Open Heart Closure (XXI)
Tristan shed the paralyzing ambiance of the bathroom with the swiftness of doffing a water-saturated cloak. In a few steps, he was into the short hall, then heading towards his cache of belongings. It didn’t take him long to gather up his scant possessions. They were haphazardly strewn about the room. After all, he hadn’t […]
Open Heart Cataclysm (XIX)
Tristan rose, unhurriedly, from his kneeling position. He turned, and made his way back to the bathroom. He moved in a confidently, curiously relaxed manner. When he returned to his prior position, facing the mirror, he brought his hand up and regarded the object pinched between his fingers. It was several inches long, made of […]
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 […]
Loss
Many claims are made about loss. With great frequency, by many people, statements are made that address the loss of a particular item, memory, thought, idea, or emotion. “I’ve lost my car keys! What will I do?” “I can’t seem to recall the details of that particular trip, but I can assure you, it was […]
Stasis
I can see mountains, but don’t know their shape. I can feel features, but don’t know your face. I can see the sun, but don’t feel it’s warmth on my skin. I know all the answers, just don’t know how to begin again. I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive, but paralyzed. I can […]
Particulate
All of the particles left their source. They danced upon the breeze, pirouetted amongst the leaves, and tiptoed onthe curves of clouds. They sparked amongst the flames, chilled on the tundras of ice, bounded from rock to rock, and swam into the waves. They pulsed with happiness, and rolled with sadness, careened off nothingness, they […]
The Field
Often, life is treated like strolling through a never-ending field of rolling hills, green grasses, and beautiful blooming flowers. The wind blows over the field, swaying the grasses with its whispers and shouts. The hills crest far above heads, and the pits and valleys are deep bowls below us. The flowers bloom full, colorful, and fragrant, […]
