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 […]

Desideratum
Take my clothes and I shield myself, with rags of memory. Remove the sun and stars from the sky, and I’ll start a fire. Take my money, my job, and my security, and I’ll beg to live. Seize my music and I’ll listen, to the birds, and the beats of my heart. Wrest from me […]
Need from Nothing
There is a shimmer, a tremor, in that vacuum between the rise of the light, and the lifting of the veil. There is a stilling of the air, and a calming of atmosphere, In the breaths held before dawns break. The old early riser, and the young go-getter, both feel the space, between restfulness and […]
Candor on a Cozy Couch
There’s no need for a mask, or to make a scene. And no need for performance, for you to mean, more to me. There’s no cause for costume, or fancy jewelry. And no need for makeup, nor any perfumery. There’s no need to augment, or change your normal tone. Your eyes are what speak to me, and make […]
Bigger, Better, More
The world is consumed by its need for bigger, better, and more. We are taught to seek bigger cars, bigger trucks, bigger planes, bigger boats, and bigger motorcycles. We want bigger bombs, and bigger explosions. We are conditioned to desire larger houses, and huge lots of sprawling property. We think that the expansive, and most […]
Pulling Down the Night
I sensed that you needed a gesture, a sign, an effort. You needed a motion, a massive, magnanimous movement, that all the little ones couldn’t provide. You needed a sweeping, soaring, sizable display, to make your heart swoon. It had to be considerate, calculable, and colossal in scope. So I struggled, and strived, and stretched myself […]
The Overseer
There is a true deity that affects our all of our lives. The choice of an ultimate, spiritual leader is inconsequential after all. The ongoing conflicts between acolytes of supreme spiritual devotees will never cease. But, there is a conceptual, albeit massively impactful, one that rules everyone. It doesn’t care whether you are agnostic, atheist, […]
The Dress
If I made it from the pale glow of the moon, would you wear it to light my path through the gloom? If I wove it from yellow and white rays of the sun, would you wear it to give light to this one? If I created it of the red and yellow of flame, […]
Tremulous
I am the stillness, absence, calm creating need want making you bleed void, nothing, suffering. I am the ocean, by which you measure grandness and levy your sadness In the wake of my storm. You the doe I the hunter, Weary and worn, I am the tornado you the fields of corn blowing your […]
Fore/Aft
Today I’ll buy the oils. Tomorrow canvas, brush, and ale. I’ll paint the strokes of misery and sadness in detail. Today I’ll buy a hammer. Tomorrow I’ll buy nails. I’ll hang my soul upon the wall And think of how I failed. Today I’ll buy a shovel. Tomorrow I’ll buy the pail. I’ll scrape my pieces […]
