Sometimes the road we weave is deeper than the ocean Our soul sings for far too many open ended possibilities Very little light shows the way Clouded the visions are in the mind Flashing by in rapid successions The drowsiness that comes slowly calls the names Come to me Rest Feel my embrace The warmth … Continue reading The Road Forward

The End of the Road
Do we know when we will die? Do we truly ever understand the nature of our mortality? We rush through the day letting little moments pass us by. We fail to see those things that are precious to us. We fail to see those things that make life worth living. We fight with our spouses, … Continue reading The End of the Road
Decapant (The Stripper)
I see you walking by Your short skirt Your stiletto heels Skin tight wraps that leaves nothing to the imagination. You think your hot You think your sexy What you really are is fresh bait for the taking. Meat to be put through the grinder. "Stop!! No!!" you shout, "I’m not that type of girl!" … Continue reading Decapant (The Stripper)
The Madness That Comes
Have you ever felt the madness? The madness that dreams of things dark and secret Glorifying it is, like the shining glint of steel as it swings through the air It is like hands pulling hair from root, it brings a smile that grows broader It is like wicked eyes glaring in the moment filling … Continue reading The Madness That Comes
Stirring the Soul
Visions, apparitions, float over the paths before us Success and victory a constant meditation The word deep in our heart brings light to the darkened path The journey without focus, lack of commitment, hopeless without dedication Measuring the steps taken, wondering what has been accomplished Life in general, day after day the blood flows through … Continue reading Stirring the Soul

One Drink
My hand grips the cold glass the moisture on its surface reminds me of the beach, Ahh Morocco. The drinks there are always so intoxicating Creating vibrant experiences of yellow, green, and fire red. The ice hitting the bottom of the glass reminds me of the waterfalls from my childhood. Each drop racing toward the … Continue reading One Drink
Vacuous Solitude
Quite clatter, placidity holding tight Quivering foundation, Covetable Bereaved in the world, hating subterfuge Shrill and expire, Unabashed Heavens mystical chorus, shimming the shaker to the gist Scratching through tombs, expansive altruism Soaring, floating, on the wings of absolution Sneaking, seeking, possessive anima No place to hide, no place to run, … Continue reading Vacuous Solitude
Dark Embrace
Flowing through time on a single silver strand Anguished shades of red and black Cries for rain moisten cracked lips Crushing thoughts numb the soul Spiritual ancestors beating drums Reaching to the sky, spirits mouth drool Sucked back into the mud Earth's Maw, lashes flesh barbed forked tongues entrench themselves images flash, lights grow dim … Continue reading Dark Embrace
Success vs. Failure
Fists ball up and slam into the ground in thundering waves Pounding and pounding, the hole they make deepens, dirt flying in every direction. Screams and tears of frustration fill the air rising higher and higher Only the trees, the birds, and the hills witness the struggle There is no one around, mile after mile, … Continue reading Success vs. Failure
