Every encounter and event is a deliberate occurrence, weaving our lives into an intricate tapestry. Our thoughts, beliefs, and feelings shape our reality, empowering us to manifest miracles and create a life of purpose. Love and compassion possess transformative healing prop...

Awake?

I open my eyes, in bed with my wife

The sun shining bright

I get out of bed, thankful for life

Ready to start the day right


I open my eyes, sad and alone

Haunted by dreams pre-divorce

With heavy heart, I rise with a groan

My life filled with remorse


I open my eyes, running late for school

Confused by my strange dream.

Is some trickster playing me like a fool?

Are things actually like they seem...

an almost miracle

i’m breaking as you break the glasses

on the floor by my feet

i’m shaking as you shake my mother’s ashes

i’ve fallen to my knees

it’s taken everything i’ve lived for

to not take everything from you

ill just lay in this bed, fear for the next morning with you


i wake up to the sound

of rain on the ground

i look all around

you can’t be found


i get up from our bed

the sheets a bloody mess

i wonder...

Sunshine Spring

my life is untrue.

stirring and writhing.

choking and screaming.

bruises and cuts.

broken plates, bowls, cups.

dare i stare at a bright light,

shining inside, glistening off my skin.

dare i cusp my hands, interlock my fingers.

snatch the light and throw it on my face.

loudly smiling, i do.

smelling the crisp, strong spring air with closed eyes.

imagining the sweet floral scent of the flowers

heari...

Man In The Hallway

My heart does thump


my skin does burn


When the shadow of a man stands


his presence adjourned


1 second he’s there


10 minutes he’s not


On the nights that the air


is stagnant and hot



Bending ‘round corners


lurking in hallways


These dreams of mine


They’re just a phase


A hint of a attention


I shouldn’t pay


To the being that haunts me before every day...

Beep

*Beep Beep Beep Beep*


No!


Not Again!


I need sleep, sleep, SLEEP!


Through slivers I see the hideous yellow.


Through shivers, I feel the cold hard floor.


*Beep Beep Beep Beep*


No!


Not Again!


I crave rest, rest, REST!


Through nauseating gurgles, I smell the roast beans


Through the antagonizing one-way glass, I see the dead reflection


*Beep Beep Beep Beep*


No!


Not Again!


I yearn f...

The Gift 

I woke up bright and early to the sun shining bright,

Adjusted my eyes to the harsh morning light.

It didn’t seem odd that I could suddenly see,

Nor was it strange that you were smiling at me.


We hopped into the old Mustang GT,

Took off down south Central with Seether blaring on repeat.

Probably The Gift, yes, that was our song,

I laughed so hard when you tried to sing along.


We drove for m...

Voids Never Truly Sleep…

Inside me are wounds, wrapped up by scars. Beauty’s skin deep, but my insides rage war. Please forgive me, for eating your blues. Even though the words I scream in hate, are true. You’re so pretty when I cry. But I don’t think you realize. There is no depth left in my soul. I needed your love to make me whole. I wear my heart upon my lips. Kiss me hard, taste my sick. Disease roams freely in my ve...

On God

I can’t see you

I can’t hear you

I cant feel you

So I fear you...

The Chill (Pt 5)

Then it emerged.

It saved, then splurged.

It laughed, then cried.

Until finally, the chill died....
