My Crazy, Wonderful, Wildly Chaotic Life….

I feel that looking through the viewfinder of a camera is the way to access the soul of life. In its truest form it allows us a brief glimpse into what is not only there, but what is possible too. I’m sure there are a ton of things you need to know about me, but … Continue reading →

Talking in Circles

Talking in circles Yet saying nothing Not a word dipped in a singularity of certainty Just talking in loops and pass-throughs Through pretty speeches of wily words Yet still saying nothing, Not one speck of actuality Talking in circles Making monsters in the dark take their first breaths into a shallow life Vilifying the reflection … Continue reading →

Today Marks a Year…Since You’ve Been Gone

I can’t believe in a matter of just a few short hours it will be a year since my father left this plane and returned “home.” In some ways it feels like it was a moment ago that he was still here, breathing and fighting with all the reserved energy he had held inside of … Continue reading →

5

Five months. I wonder when I’ll stop marking time on the calendar in months, weeks and days. And all the moments that take up space inside them. It’s weird when the moment slams into you. You wonder where did this looming feeling of dread that now resides in your core come from. Then you look … Continue reading →

Unbind

Unbind your will Unbutton your collar Slip beneath the star-kissed night Just beyond the day’s final hour Between the letters And arches Hold the branches of your Evermore, Everafter, Forevermore With no doubts Just the touch of your heated words Caressing exposed skin Barren to the breath Stretched beyond rival Unbind your will Unbutton your … Continue reading →

Regret

I never saw you as a regret A mistake Just the only distinction made in distant waters Lost inside a slumberless nocturnal nightfall With the taste of virility dripping from your lips Of desires and multiplicities Ah the possible possibilities of the one that got away Slipped through my creases Devoured by the inky night’s … Continue reading →

Heights

Did I ever mention I was afraid of heights? Of pedestals on ascent With exasperated expectations Living on a tightrope Dangling from so high Perched upon slippery fingertips Never meeting your dreams Your desires Your choices Always yours, never mine Not living anything other than a single jailed moment On repeat Being submerged in your … Continue reading →

Looking-Glass Mirror

Cast aside all my sins On broken crowns And Godless thoughts We were just kids Clutched in maddening flashes Bewildered upon the bounds of flesh And sleight of hand On doubtless summer’s nights Wrapped around pristine breathes Behind the looking-tree Shines my haggard youth In disrepair As I peer through the looking-glass mirror once more … Continue reading →

Forgiveness

To ask for forgiveness To have you absolve me I would violate the truth Speak the lies your demon’s bittersweet words stitch together And watch them crumble abound with tangled letters Taped to your crooked mouth A mouthful of alternations In incriments In bounds Leaps larger than faith Carry to your ears The corrals of … Continue reading →

Trust Your Struggle

Three, three is the magic number of the day. I realized it’s been three months since things in my world flipped over and changed forever. In some ways it feels like a lifetime ago, in fact several lifetimes ago and really, it was. And in other ways it feels like it was yesterday that time … Continue reading →
