Regrets
It was at a campground in Virginia Beach... Fat boy took us camping. It was my first time. It was a small tent that barely held us and our sleeping bag. Fat Boy was about 350 lbs and I was heavier right then at about 200. This was summer 1994 and very hot.
We got there at 4pm. We stocked munchies for two days in the car. No room in the tent. We had stopped on the way at a Ponderosa and he had pigged out. After the tent was up he went to shit in the woods. I pointed out the bathrooms but he wanted to shit in the woods. I found out later that he had a boyfriend who followed us...

The Source
Life's been cruel to me so far
If I could catch a falling star
I wouldn't wash away my scars
I'd piece together all the shards
Of broken glass
Shattered years past
Filthy memories left unbathed
But no one walks away unscathed
Long ago I got the point
Aching bones and creaking joints
Any comfort is a privilege
Afforded only by indifference
I see the light
Can't close the distance
Sprinting toward sweet deliverance
Long after my feet are blistered
Where most would yield,...
If I could catch a falling star

Aching bones and creaking joints
Any comfort is a privilege
Afforded only by indifference

Sprinting toward sweet deliverance
Long after my feet are blistered

You don't understand me
From woman to man and man to woman. There will come a time in each of our lives, that we will come to that fork in the road, of trails and tribulations. For I'm not alright and neither are you, not willing to understand the deepness of my hurt, and spiritual pain when you ignore my cries, when I try to reach out to you. 😭 Treating me like I was one of your tools, out of your tool box 🤨 when you are done using me. 😞 For you were never like that before when we first got together, for you told me it was love at first seeth and that you was happy, that we met with real...

Jen and Cole - short scene
Given Jen’s childlike facial features, Cole was surprised at the tangy taste of animality in her moist sacred folds. Moments later, he was again astonished by the practiced craft with which she mounted him—smooth and athletic. Jen’s fingers danced lightly on Cole’s cock before directing him inside with precision and efficiency. Before he completely comprehended her proximity, they were bound together in the raw act of fornication.
Jen was slight, barely 100-pounds he guessed. Viewing her shape, he imagined lifting her total weight with ease at the gym. But what he quickly realized...

To a beautiful day
Let's not waste that day
By sleep in
If we sleep in we will
Not sleep at night
So we must enjoy this day
That our father gave to us
Here on earth
yes we are having the Summer
Here on earth
that our father create for us
With his holy hands
Also We took a look in the sky
And there was no sign of rain
We don't like the rain at all
Because when it is raining
There is lighting and thunder
The noise of lightning and thunder
Wake
us up when we are...

Hollowed Breeze
Into your being, Aeolus blew
an enthusiastic hunger,
Driving your curious and passionate nature
To swirl together in an eclectic dance,
Displaying a prismatic array of imaginative hues,
a zealous vortex, a colorful blur.
You were alive in a way very few
Ever were
This was you.
People said you were a mess,
a faltered and broken soul, they'd say,
an albatross strung tight around one's neck,
a sinking ship, a ball and chain—
a disaster not yet made.
With jealous words they chose to speak
but...
an enthusiastic hunger,
Driving your curious and passionate nature
To swirl together in an eclectic dance,
Displaying a prismatic array of imaginative hues,
a zealous vortex, a colorful blur.
You were alive in a way very few
Ever were
This was you.
People said you were a mess,
a faltered and broken soul, they'd say,
an albatross strung tight around one's neck,
a sinking ship, a ball and chain—
a disaster not yet made.
With jealous words they chose to speak

Woes of an Relationship
I heard all you said/ I hope you got all that off your chest/
I hope you got all the emotions out and you got nothing left/
I hope you feel good about yourself and you can lay your problems all to rest/
With the smoke and dust at your back I'm sure you have no regrets/
All this time you wanted a punching bag/
so you can strike on it to compensate for the pain that was caused from your
pass relationships, friends, mom or dad/
When you let loose there is no white flag/
I'm sure this is what you meant when you said I'm a man you have never...

The Star That Never Sleeps
Through the north window my chamber glows,
A star with uncanny light bestows.
Through long hellish hours of blackness and fear,
In the autumn of the year, when winds jeer,
From the north they curse and whine,
Through red-leaved trees, the swamp’s grim design,
Where mutterings in shadows creep,
Under the horned moon's baleful sweep.
I sit, by the casement's cold embrace,
And watch the star that holds its place.
Cassiopeia reels from her heights so bright,
Charles’ Wain lumbers through the night. ...
A star with uncanny light bestows.
Through long hellish hours of blackness and fear,
In the autumn of the year, when winds jeer,
From the north they curse and whine,
Through red-leaved trees, the swamp’s grim design,
Where mutterings in shadows creep,
Under the horned moon's baleful sweep.
I sit, by the casement's cold embrace,
And watch the star that holds its place.
Cassiopeia reels from her heights so bright,
Charles’ Wain lumbers through the night. ...

My Thought for Today: When Words are Used as Weapons
Words can wound, it’s as simple as that. Some much deeper than others. I’ve been annihilated by a few perfectly placed words. But mostly, it was the subtle, off handed remarks that let me know how insignificant I was to someone that buried me.
I’ve been known to have a cutting tongue myself. I can slice a heart in a millisecond. Ironic, considering mine was usually lying at my feet broken into hundreds of tiny pieces as I was attempting to gather them so I could stitch it back together again. Or was it?
Those missiles that flew out of my mouth on their search and...

If only I had been
Do I believe in reincarnation, the answer is no
I don't think there is a heaven, we got no place to go
I believe my ship came and went
I think my tokens have all been spent
When my chances came, I took the bus
I've got nothing left but total disgust
Think my world is coming to an end
I'm left without a penny to spend
I wasn't brave enough to do something with my life
~Chorus~
If only I had taken that chance
If only I had stepped out on that limb
Maybe I could have been someone
Instead of sinking I could...
I don't think there is a heaven, we got no place to go

I Am That Horror Show
I was called out and rightfully so
I haven’t been myself
Which I see my actions show
I should be better than this
And cling to the good that I know exists within
but in my low, the devil attached to me
and trying to be polite
I opened myself to the carnage
And lately I’ve not been right
It’s sad to feel you wish me harm
but an angel can only take so much
I can feel the curse upon me
That anxious twisting in my guts
The past three months
have been brutal
creeping toward that milestone age,
and all...
I haven’t been myself

Empty
The difference only a few days can make
How a heart filled with love can so easily break
A voice that gave me peace and now it haunts me
A face that brightened my day and now it taunts me
With thoughts of a future that we'll never share
A dream once so beautiful is now a nightmare
The sum of my fears has come to fruition
My mind knew better but my heart wouldn't listen
Wrapped up in a fantasy, pretending it was real
Of course I knew better but I wanted to feel ...
How a heart filled with love can so easily break
A voice that gave me peace and now it haunts me
A face that brightened my day and now it taunts me
With thoughts of a future that we'll never share
A dream once so beautiful is now a nightmare
The sum of my fears has come to fruition
My mind knew better but my heart wouldn't listen
Wrapped up in a fantasy, pretending it was real
Of course I knew better but I wanted to feel ...
