The hushed, slow exhalations of the god of clouds, and the rhythmic crunch of footfalls on the ground, were the only noises, around. Brown, bare, trunks, and remnants of leaves, branches, and things that used to be green, was all that could be seen. Breath escaped my mouth in ghostly bursts, as the sun pleaded […]

Postcards
All of those deep, sobbing, regrets, every cringe, and internal unsettling, felt, when trying to kiss, someone else, as passionately as I kissed you; while you’re selfish-stuck with your vapid substitute, each, and every, excruciating second, sparks of memory, should remind you of what a truly amazing person, partner, lover, could be, and how incredibly […]
Simulant
Do you know what the great failure of humanity is, right now? People believe that we can stay connected without in person, organic, dialogue. We don’t really know who the other people are, when one can’t look another in the eye, and see the sincerity, or lie, in their expression. We’ve relegated communication to text, to […]

Inconjecture
Hey, how are you doing? Tell me, how do you feel? Is anything bothering you? Do you think that you’ll deal? It’s quite alright, It’s just ok, I haven’t been living much of a life, anyway. Hey friend what’s wrong? Don’t you know what going on? You seem to be looking down? No […]
Odds
Nine out of ten times, it means nothing. Ninety-Nine percent of the time it won’t occur. 999/1000 is the likely chance of failure. It has a one in a million chance to succeed. It’s like hitting that green 00 on the roulette wheel, or tripling up with a straight flush, when all your chips are in. It’s […]
Open Heart Insight (IV)
“Ready?” “I think so.” “It’s not really a question that you can respond to unsurely. Either you are, or you aren’t?” “Ready.” “Go ahead then. Let us in.” Tristan stood in front of the door, arm stretched forward, with the key in his hand. Some wildly debilitating magic froze him in this spot. He breathed […]
Nebulosity
It was everything I could do, want, and be, that man that you could love and need. It was all that I could possibly desire, to be the one to light those fires. I was the bastion, the fortress, the high ground, the steadfastness when you felt down. I was the light, the warmth and […]
