Liberty
The notion of simplicity is complicity in nature. We cannot contest what we cannot see. Now, life teeters on a mandate. In sickness and in health, we wear the mark. […]
Decline
I don’t like where this path is trending. The cold air pressing against my back despite it not being winter. The flickering light of day reveals something in the shadows. […]
Outside
Dreamt of scene; Panic within a familiar place. All of the exits locked. Trust in the unfamiliar; A different path of escape.
Shattered
Waking to a dimly lit sunrise Smiling at the hope of promise Day darkens quickly Shadows pummel a shaken spirit Seeking salvation in the darkness Falling towards despair Lying within […]
Darkest Hour
Night seems Eternal. Waiting no Longer. Taking new Paths. Seeing the light. Comfort and Joy.
Descent
I used to bask in the morning light. Nuclear Winter clouds the sky. The temperature dips below the freezing line. My fear subsides with the fading sunlight. It is in […]
Rest in Peace
I did not sleep well. I dreamt of the unfamiliar. Darkness for hours. Silence into the morning. I miss seeing the sunrise.
Stan Lee (1922 – 2018)

Tiny snowflakes; gentle kisses. Wishing for eternity. Sobering chill of the night.
Simple Finale
The thought of growing old in this world concerns me. This life of constant judgment and turmoil is not my Utopia. We are left with the maddening ways of an untoward […]
Destroyed
I remember the day, The words etched in stone. Breathe. I remember the quiet, The air remaining still. Breathe. I remember the moment, The calm before the storm.
Grateful
A child’s wish in the morning. Chalk drawn imaginations on the blank pavement. Story’s told along the clouds. Fables and fairytales. Musical delights. Joy indescribable. An old man’s dream in […]
Dry Despair
Blindness guided me. A storm wounded my soul Endless disarray. One bad decision times three. Bourbon counsels my sanity. Hoping for wisdom. Weeping without tears.
Free Falling
I looked at the decision Remembering my hazy concern Realizing I have fallen deeply Beneath the murky despair.
Feels
Snowflakes start their fall; Barely seen. Crashes on the terrain; Never heard. Touches on the skin; We remember.
Withering
Beginnings of an ending; Slow burn of a flame; Heart full of antagonism. Love is dying again.
