Uncertain Path
The uncertainty
Making it hard to see
Through the darkness
How can it be?
It's cloudy
My future, I mean.
I'm worried
I'll never achieve what I can be.
I know it's
Not set in stone.
And that's what worries
Me so.
I want it badly,
More than I could ever know.
Then why is it so hard
To find a way to go?
To go to my future,
my rightful place.
To find all the hardships
I must eventually face.
To go to the sky,
where all dreams take place.
Why is it so hard to...

He's a time junkie
He's in the hot room again
He's a time junkie
He's a user
He has come to the point to where he asks himself, who's using whom
He take's a look around
He sees what he does to time
He looks in the mirror and he sees what it's doing back to himself
He has come to the conclusion that he has a pretty good thing going
He abuses time
He starves it
He bores it to madness
Some nights he sits still for hours trying to make time go insane
He has devoted his life to making time pay
He wants to see it bleed
He wants to be...

Spirits At War
Spirits At War
When I looked into your eyes
sometimes I would see warmth, compassion.
Other times I would see death and destruction.
I never knew which it was going to be
when I looked at you and you looked at me.
For a time I lived a lie in red anger.
Out of viciousness I believed it was always lies, cheating
and I hated every one of you.
Since I have realized through others that my belief is not so true
and therefore not fair to despise all of you.
Now my beliefs are based on percentages.
The majority...

Burden Lifted
Journal Entry: October 1, 2024
My good friend drove me from Dallas to Albuquerque, NM, for a medical procedure that lifted a burden from my life. It went well and I was released two hours after the procedure. We stayed at a hotel for two nights, resting in the quiet comfort of our friendship.
While I was away, my daughter Ava was with her father, David, whose steady presence and new wife, who is kind and respectful, maintain balance in our lives.
I recall writing about my friend's wedding, a joyous time now shadowed by a betrayal and divorce that followed a year...

GREATER PLAN IN MOTION
Here I am as I sit here within my own chains of thoughts, here amongst the elements that give me. MUCH of what that brings me my thoughts of tranquility. For sure we need to take a moment, to just analyze the deepness of our deepest thoughts. As it is necessary to understand that what we, sometimes have to learn to go through. It's just another time to refocus of our thoughts, that we have to learn how things really work. Within this new world of dictatorship and order. Just as much we can try to denie the truth of what we really see 👁️ For the world has gotten worser not...

Dead and Done
Words
Things I've said too much
Weapons of my own device
Not much left to say
But I hope you'll listen
To what I have left
I think, in some way
You could finally see
The dying fire
Inside of me
Drive
And never bring me back
Home was buried in me
Nowhere left to go
But it's okay
As long as I'm here
With you
I think, in some way
You can finally see
The fire, dying
Inside of me
Speak
Tell me your hurt and anger
I've seen the beauty in you
But there's...
Things I've said too much

Not much left to say
But I hope you'll listen

And never bring me back
Home was buried in me
Nowhere left to go
But it's okay

Speak
Tell me your hurt and anger
I've seen the beauty in you

Chaos and Confusion
The world has gone into chaos and confusion
Of sheer virtual delusions against reality
Relying on whispers and magic spells
Reeled in by unstable notions of morality
Even the sagest seem to have lost their way
Not really seeing how their vision has gone dark
Their moral compasses compromised
Sowed by greed where creed used to be the mark
Over time they’ve sold their souls to absurdity
Fighting demons that are not really there
In constant adulation of their own creations
Never being able to awake from the nightmare
So, the world keeps...
Of sheer virtual delusions against reality
Relying on whispers and magic spells
Reeled in by unstable notions of morality
Even the sagest seem to have lost their way

Sowed by greed where creed used to be the mark
Over time they’ve sold their souls to absurdity
Fighting demons that are not really there
In constant adulation of their own creations
Never being able to awake from the nightmare

Hurricane Parties
Trees down everywhere
Power out everywhere
Lines for gas if you can find it
Lines for anything you can find
As for my street
Creek flooded the lower
Downed trees blocked the upper
Been playing with chainsaws
Redneck heaven
Trees down
Powerlines down
Creek finally going down
(and things starting to smell ripe)
No telling when I'll be back on here
Life happens
I'm good
A country boy will survive
Thoughts and prayers
To any suffering because of this hurricane
Power out everywhere
Lines for gas if you can find it
Lines for anything you can find
As for my street
Creek flooded the lower
Downed trees blocked the upper
Been playing with chainsaws
Redneck heaven
Trees down
Powerlines down
Creek finally going down
(and things starting to smell ripe)
No telling when I'll be back on here
Life happens
I'm good
A country boy will survive
Thoughts and prayers
To any suffering because of this hurricane

I tell you the truth, but I digress.
The lies you breathe into me are heaven sent.
I try to believe but life is stress.
Memories leave me broken and spent.
