Idle hours

Night falls
And the door of
Loneliness
Opens once more
Wandering thoughts
Leading deeper
Endless hours
Pass by idle
Tears born of
Frustration
Wanting so much
To believe
While truths falsities
Ebb and flow
Raging as the sea
To shed tears of happiness
Heart swollen with joy
From the gift of truth
Another should bestow
But what illusions spring
From a bounty of words
While reading the pages
Of one’s very soul
A beacon in the darkness
Wrapping round [...]

Death Trap

She doesn’t seek his memory, it just comes creeping; and when it does, that’s all there is.
Its nothing to do with fear or inspiration; building a fan base that was there long before he was; or anything at all for matter of fact. For who would dream of seeking such hurt.
Its simply a means of [...]

Dear God,

It was an absolute accident that I happened upon such wickedness, disguised in the Turner Classic Movie catalog. Or was it?
An advertisement for acclaimed feature films that grabbed my attention. And so I began to browse the images of the available DVD’s. It was a strange, almost eerie image that I was drawn to; the [...]

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.

The Visit

He could see how tired she was, that day he happened upon her alone in the café; and though he purposely took his thoughts elsewhere, ignoring her completely, he knew from her body language that he’d once known so well, there was something amiss; and he couldn’t help but wonder what was going on in [...]

Collective fear

I feared the words
He spoke were truth
Of me
About me
In spite of me
Because
He knew me
Because
I let him
Because
I wanted him to
Like none other
Before or after
Deeper
Better
To the core
Then left to wonder
If he knew me
At all

redemptive contentment

She fled his
Love
Not once
But twice
Following a
Heart
Laden with
Lies
He never
Asked
For her
Madness
Yet withstood
The wrath
Diligently
She will gladly
Spend
The rest of
Her days
Loving him
Completely
She owes him
Nothing less
While he
Deserves
So much
More

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 [...]

Memories past

It was about this time of year; I remember the barren trees and the rain; the cold November rain…
We were on our way home, it was pouring, and as we rounded the sharp curve at the bottom of the hill we could see the skid marks and the mangled guardrail where someone had gone off [...]
