Tiny Jar
You know me as a calmer form
A tiny flame that can be kept in a tiny jar
Not the forest fire that I know I can be
Could be.......
Some days...most days...life feels more like a heavy rain
Is this stifled form of me the only thing that's left?
Will the last time I felt that fervor quake beneath my skin be the only memory I have to last me this lifetime?
Is it me or is it you?
Sometimes I feel like maybe there's just too many fractures in my being now to feel that way for anyone anymore
I remember kisses that made my heart beat all...
A tiny flame that can be kept in a tiny jar
Not the forest fire that I know I can be
Could be.......
Some days...most days...life feels more like a heavy rain
Is this stifled form of me the only thing that's left?
Will the last time I felt that fervor quake beneath my skin be the only memory I have to last me this lifetime?
Is it me or is it you?
Sometimes I feel like maybe there's just too many fractures in my being now to feel that way for anyone anymore
I remember kisses that made my heart beat all...

upon reflection...forget genuflection
1 of 30
somebody please explain to me
what's this obsession with that social ladder
...blows my mind
how attractive people seem to find it
but they're all frantically trying to climb it
like it takes them somewhere special
honestly...they're not really even moving
just going through the motions
claiming status by osmosis
dropping names like grenades
hoping to shake things up
like I give a fuck...
I'm not exactly at the bottom of the chain
but I sure can see it clearly from here
it's full of...

desolation road
this house holds secrets
despite its blown out windows
no doors or locks
floorboards that refuse to creak
& a ceiling of brooding sky
but the wind howls through the halls
where memories drift
from wall to crumbling wall
untethered
but not free to depart
dust builds in corners
untouched
where thoughts once swirled
now fallen
listless & forgotten
fingers clutch a trembling match
as flame flickers in anticipation
determination wavers
turn it all to kindling...
or blow...
despite its blown out windows
no doors or locks
floorboards that refuse to creak

but the wind howls through the halls
where memories drift

untethered

dust builds in corners
untouched
where thoughts once swirled
now fallen
listless & forgotten
fingers clutch a trembling match
as flame flickers in anticipation
determination wavers
turn it all to kindling...

Your Choice, Stud. Me Or Your Fiancé?
Mark stared right at Heather.
She noticed he was naked like her.
Unfortunately, he's engaged to another.
That future bride of his is Connie.
And she'll be jealous to a degree.

we’ll have the usual, thanks
where shall we go for lunch
I’m fed up with the café
that old bloke always
at the table next to ours
reading aloud from his newspaper
McDonald’s he suggests
fine she says we’ll have lunch
in the café

Lion's
Lion's debutants jesters and rakes
stained glass windows and childhood pranks
my masters come calling for a tithe to the king
in harmony now we all must sing
dance till tranced by fairies and fools
slitting the throat of all that they rule
death to us all into silence we sink
stained glass windows and childhood pranks
my masters come calling for a tithe to the king
in harmony now we all must sing
dance till tranced by fairies and fools
slitting the throat of all that they rule
death to us all into silence we sink

Truth or Door!
I maintain hope for us, even if it's just a shard.
Each day your constant secrets and lies make it more and more hard.
I know you are telling me the truth, about anything at all.
Because of it our relationship is taking a quick and ugly fall.
So much resentment has built up for me over time.
Only you can fix it, it's in your hands not mine.
I know it all, even though you don't think that I do.
I know you have been unfaithful not just with one but a few!
I don't think you love me, like you claim
Instead of putting out fires you're lies and...

List #12: Questions I've Been Pondering Lately
1. Why is space so incredibly vast? Is it just a mall with billions of empty stores? I mean, really, what's it being used for?
2. Would quitting my job be cowardly or brave?
3. How is it possible that so many Americans support Trump?
4. Am I agnostic or atheist or just someone with no desire to own the "truth"?
5. Where can I move that's not all guns, Trump, and Jesus?
6. How am I going to find the motivation to go on a diet? I don't want to break up with food.
7. When should I get a new cat? Should I force myself to look in more than one
...

Let not your heart be heavy
Through life we will be tested by somethings, that we may not see it coming our way. BUT yet it doesn't mean that you keep an blind eye close, to really not see that is before you. For that will be your time to become aware that you have to learn, some lessons that you thought you didn't have to learn. How to navigate through the process of the nonsense, that will surely bring you down. For sure life wasn't meant to be easy, when you know that it's hard to find the right one for you. FOR sure life is a mind game of chance or even leaps of your own faith at times. Which makes your thoughts run...

Precipice Trilogy
life is dangerous
when death is calling
and you chase yourself
to answer
death is dangerous
a seductive void
when life is giving you
too much something
Indecision
is one foot in the grave
oops, don't trip
when death is calling
and you chase yourself
to answer
death is dangerous
a seductive void
when life is giving you
too much something
Indecision
is one foot in the grave
oops, don't trip

Jennifer lets Rose come out.
After dropping her robe, Rose saw Eric.
She smiled while Jennifer painted.
