Where were you last night? In a bed? Safe at home? Where were you last night? Pillow against your head? Dreaming of fields to roam? Where were you last night? In a chair? Reading a book? Where were you last night? In a blanket of care? Stayed up long as it took? Where were you […]

The Momentary Kiss
Immortalized in an eternal embrace While relaying relief for the end of rage. A sailor, Proud to be home And alive. A nurse That won’t have to scrub caked blood from her blouse anymore. All the smiles are locked and unflinching, Forever frozen, never changing. The ghosts of those that died instead of them Will […]
Cradle to the Grave
I was born anew and then I was done. Coming fresh into this place, Gasping and squinting to see what was won. All was new; I was their fresh sun, Too soon left for school with haste. I was born anew and then I was done. As a child all I wanted was fun. Lining […]
The Shoelace
The Shoelace, one of life’s most overlooked gifts of comfort. It comes in many sizes and many shapes; this is to fill all sorts of shoe needs and aesthetic personal pleasures. Some are round, like garden snakes, others are flat as a freshly cooked fettuccine noodle. Many colors to match, or specifically to not match, […]
We Who Follow Should be Happy
In the core of the earthen lake. In tadpole water they sit or stand on souls, where they finger a burnt lover waning. We may never learn but pray with pity: who can know his pain, or can understand the desolation? Now, now Don’t shed tear, for broken heart can condemn you wholly. Selflessly boughten, […]

Her love bracelet still clung to her wrist, possibly a trifling concluding comfort. The sounds of terror and pain should have filled the air, But […]
Absentee Father or Raised by Wolves
Did you ever see that movie “The Devil’s Advocate”? You know that movie with Al Pacino? Well I have. And in it good-old-uncle-Al delivers a beautiful line. A line that resonates with me to my core. He says, about God, that he is an “ABSENTEE LAND LORD!” And I get it. You might say with […]
Late Night Obsessive Thinking Titled: Me Too
Lets just get one thing straight: The idea that The Big Bang is the beginning of all existence, that there was nothing but nothing before it, is just as ludicrous as a Christian white haired re-creation of Zeus saying “Let there be light!” and then there was. I cannot prove that existence exists, but I […]
Politics as I see it
If it is understood that “writers write” and “teachers teach,” then it can be safely assumed that “politicians politician,” which is the ability to seek or hold state or government political office. In the definition of the title there is no assurance that politicians are responsible for the whole of the Commonwealth. So don’t get […]
Thought Process
I make decisions based on social or political philosophy aided by facts and probability. You make decisions based on religion or personal emotion stemmed from personal experience. Religions are a personal choice and bias that is flawed because their principles are written down and unchangeable, which makes them a self-created barrier that traps you for […]
