Mad world

She made the mistake of reading the list of Top Ten News Headlines. Reminded, yet again, of the insanity that surrounds us; the human beasts we are forced to co-exist with. A truth that at times, is almost too much to bear.

My soul sister,

I see you suffering, and I wish there was something I could do for you.
I witness your pain, and my own heart aches.
I see you spiraling, faster each day; downward motion to nowhere land.
I wonder who’ll be waiting when you reach the end.
Unsure what led you to this path; you no longer walk, [...]

Insanity’s Final Adieu

His was a miserable life; wandering the globe pretending to be lost, feigning insanity due to all sorts of abuse; self-inflicted, youthful demons victim, to any and all who showed the slightest inclination of interest. In truth, he knew exactly where he was going, what the cost would be to get there; needing only to [...]

Letter to Veronica No.1

Dear Veronica Lake,
The truth of us.
Something you believe only the two of you share; yet something we’ve all been forced to wonder about. We too had a truth in an airport, he and I; just as he had truths made up of lies with a plethora of intelligent, creative, beautiful, loving, soulful women; all of [...]

Letter to Ophelia No.2

Dearest Ophelia,
Forgive my delayed response; not for lack of trying, but it seemed as if each time I sat to pen my reply, something or someone needed my immediate attention. I’m sure you understand and can relate.
You asked if you are allowed to be this happy…not only are you “allowed,” but you deserve such happiness. [...]

Letter to Ophelia No.1

Dearest Ophelia,
It has been so long since we sat and talked. There once was a time; long, long ago, when there was nothing we didn’t share. Two young girls; hearts brimming with hopes, dreams and silly fears, of that which was unknown; much that we only imagined, some truths that even now are difficult to [...]

I’m listening

The universe is calling; and I am listening. Ensnared in the trap for far too long; searching for a Sage while wallowing in angst. Conceding to the darkness as it consumed and controlled. Though not completely, and not any more.
The universe is whispering; and I am listening. Mother Nature opens her arms, enveloping me in [...]

Hypocritic Bullshit

So tired of people…
Screaming for love
When there’s no love
In them
Crying foul
When they cheat
At every turn
Pointing a finger
Casting the
Blame
Refusing to take
Responsibility
For actions all
Their own
Refusing or
Unable
A sure sign
Of the true
Make-up
Is it any
Wonder
I chose this
Path of
Darkness
Blinded by the
Light
When true colors
Are revealed

At the bottom of the well…

…lies a pathetic creature of habit. So vile as to burn your eyes blind, should you cast your gaze upon him for too long a time. Haunted by demons of a horrific past, or a victim of sheer lunacy, telling tall tales; weaving colorful yarns, his mind simply mad.
I often wondered of his angst; whether [...]
