The skeletons of the past must not hold back the dream of a new life, even
though fear and regret, guilt and remorse may unsettle us during the effort to
give our future a new home.”—Erik Pevernagie
i have no time to stop and count
the number of the wrongs,
or measure the intensity
of all the harm i’ve caused;
to test how high i’ve placed myself
above the needs of throngs,
or fathom depths i’ve stooped to hurt
poor men whose...

Still-steel well
One a day in the past I was a well of fresh water
Once a days in the past I was vastness of life flowing gentle sweet strife
My walls ran deep tapping to the bottoms of the earth touching the living WATERS
The WATERS that came from me gave forth life to those who drank and they could live FOREVER
FOREVER did i yearn to birth and nourish life that was my ENDEAVOR
My walls clean to the bottom holding together what made you be,
I quenched the thirst of many yet when they drank they did not put thought or care to my walls
When I killed their thirsts they...

Chasing Shadows
Endless dots of light fill a black sky.
I'm in the car, my arm on the window.
This soft breeze caresses me as endless flat planes sweep by me.
A sigh carries on the wind; its words a spell that conjures forth dreams from the nebulous mists of the past.
Somewhere in those mists, you wait for me, not as a viper, but as a kind and gentle pain I would smother myself with, if I could.
I don't even know how to drive, but I'm driving westward, away from it all on this quiet road.
The guitar strings play their soft song of sorrow through the radio.

Whatever "I love you's" never said
Whatever cheating affairs you bed

The Realist Idealist
Keeping people at a distance is just what I do
I've been pushing people away cuz they're just not you
Telling everyone I'm ok but its just not true
Can't change my outlook when I got just one view
The constant ache inside of me has broken my will
No matter how much I try to come to terms it hurts me still
Like cutting my heart open and watching all of the blood spill
Sick of people telling me that I just need to chill
I had everything I ever wanted and I tossed it away
Acting like they meant nothing made...

A Suicide Poem
I wish she could see me,
maybe ten years prior to now.
Walking down strange streets
with almost strangers
like nothing less than a king.
Wanting eyes
bouncing off the surface
of one another.
We didnt care where we were going,
but we always knew where we’d end up
or some other cliche like that.
In a sense, I was taking on the world,
and with every small battle
there would be someone there
lusting after me
as much as I lusted after them,
(A man can do whatever he sets his mind to

Margarita in the Mirror
As she tried on the first summer dress and stood in front of her bedroom mirror, Margarita felt the familiar sting of disappointment she’d known in life. Her first husband and the father of her three children hadn’t recognized that he was giving her a small helping of himself and reserving the balance of his life for work, and as she later learned, for affairs with other women. After her divorce, she went to work fulltime and focused on the lives of her children who were entering their teen years and needed a mother’s support.
Her husband disappeared from their lives with the...

Too Late
When I was really young I couldn't wait
I couldn't wait for school to be over
To play with my friends
And especially for the weekend
I got to sleep in and watch cartoons
And play a ton of video games
I got super excited for holidays and my birthday
Summer vacation was the absolute best
As a teenager I couldn't wait either
For my next baseball or basketball game

Grandfather
I remember walking into that hospital room
He looked up and made eye contact
A strained smile on his face
His eyes had no fire or willpower behind them
I had never seen that before in his eyes
He was a pillar of strength
He was the only source of stability I had ever known in my life
It broke me in that moment
His leg wrapped at the knee with the rest missing
We talked and I knew that his zeal for life was gone
I thought back to a few weeks earlier
When he told me about the gangrene that had formed on his...

Charity Shops .
Relationships end up in charity shops like that
leather bomber jacket . You remember the day you bought it oversized for the freedom of movement and an extra layer for the winter .Practicality meeting stream lined high end fashion with every stitch one of love and art and looking god dam smart . It’s yelling to been seen it’s black and it fits just right as it slides over your back to meet your old vintage Levi jeans it’s nice to meet you .
You didn’t actually say that the day she said yes to coffee and a cake . You can’t believe your luck she isn’t like any other you have...

Bonfire Publishing part 3
The three of us left the club and there was a car waiting. We entered the car without a word being said to each other.
“Fuck this. Who is he to you?” Meg asked
I sat there and sighed because Jordan succeeded in having them doubt me. Right now it is only
Meg voicing her question and I knew she would be first. That hot Mississippi blood flowed through her.
“I told you he was my Dom and I was his sub. Then it ended.” I said.
“Does he know that it is ended? Do you think I didn't notice? While I am in the middle of my verbal castration...

Straight Lines Never Followed
Straight lines are sometimes difficult to walk...Near impossible to follow...Especially for the addict. The one's who are angry...The one's who are misunderstood...The one's who are sad...The one's who are alone & empty. ..The one's nobody could love. Prisoner to a label of family structure in the making...Prisoner of self-image, trouble & bad news. Negative pages that crowd books I flipped through...Books that should have been burned, like a witch at the stake falsely accused. Peers thought I was inscrutable in meaning. Crazy & wild in demeanour and a loser deal. A label that can...
