Secrets - The Drive Home
It's still early. We could go to see a film. What do you think?'
'I want to go home.'
'And you're sure about that?'
No answer.
'Okay, but say if you change your mind,' I say. I get into the car. 'We can go anywhere or do anything you like.' I reach over to help fasten his seatbelt, but he tenses, so I back off.
Poor kid. He must be hurting so much. Robert acts as if his mother never existed, refusing to talk about her at all. I don't blame him, really, although the extreme reaction concerns me. Like what do we do about...

Seven Years Free
I once dreamed of skies unbound,
A life where silence held no sound,
No echoes of rage, no shackles tight,
Just open doors and peaceful night.
My heart, a bird in a shadowed cage,
Longing to flee the storms of rage.
I painted dreams in midnight hues,
Of a home where love would infuse.
Seven years since I broke away,
Carved my freedom, claimed my day.
A house I call my very own,
Where laughter rings, where seeds are sown.
The past, a ghost, it haunts no more,
Its whispers lost beyond my door.
I dreamed of...
A life where silence held no sound,
No echoes of rage, no shackles tight,
Just open doors and peaceful night.
My heart, a bird in a shadowed cage,
Longing to flee the storms of rage.
I painted dreams in midnight hues,
Of a home where love would infuse.
Seven years since I broke away,
Carved my freedom, claimed my day.
A house I call my very own,
Where laughter rings, where seeds are sown.
The past, a ghost, it haunts no more,
Its whispers lost beyond my door.
I dreamed of...

We were both married so screwing was a no go ..
That lasted about 2 drinks
Then innocence took a back seat
City Life is a meat grinder
You can tenderize and flame
Some like her well done
I took her medium with luscious pink
Bukowski was at the table in the corner
Hunter S. Thompson too
Wasted in the smokey dark heat
Comparing poetry and fright
I was at home with Sha Sha
Lou Reed stopped by to say hello
She didn't say much
Her English was a vacancy
We communicated in shy glances
Touched each other in places...
Then innocence took a back seat
City Life is a meat grinder
You can tenderize and flame
Some like her well done
I took her medium with luscious pink
Bukowski was at the table in the corner
Hunter S. Thompson too
Wasted in the smokey dark heat
Comparing poetry and fright
I was at home with Sha Sha
Lou Reed stopped by to say hello
She didn't say much
Her English was a vacancy
We communicated in shy glances
Touched each other in places...

I've never seen anything so inadequate
never seen ever such an inadeq... wait
I've never been seen as an earthquake
never been anything more than awake
saying it this way may seem a mistake
just leave me alone and keep it stake
you are still there and makes me ache
you're not there anyway and I still wait

No Remorse
After a late night of partying
This one girl brings another girl and a guy back to her apartment
The girl wants to be kinky & have sex in her baby's crib
The girl forgot to have a babysitter watch the child when she went out
Their all high on meth
The ignorance & stupidity of this entire ordeal was that the 6 month old baby was still in the crib
The next morning the baby was dead
Apparently the baby was smothered to death
They all served time
The mother though was sentenced to life in prison
She had no remorse
She told family...

reaching for shore
did you
see the
water creep
like music,
the gulls
sang along,
from far
out deep
your soul
struggled
to push
you
even closer,
reaching
for shore.

Nothing Left Standing...
In making me your world
you have destroyed me
engulfing me in tenderness
sweet serenity.
I did not realize the cracks
the silent tremors
the microscopic lines
grinding against each other.
I am your whole world
I'm drowning in its depth
so deep, there is no bottom
there is just being.
when a kiss causes
volcanoes to erupt
and the ground shakes
know it is me.
I am right for you
the way I make you quake
the way you lose yourself
in the abyss.
this could be pure...
you have destroyed me
engulfing me in tenderness
sweet serenity.
I did not realize the cracks
the silent tremors
the microscopic lines
grinding against each other.
I am your whole world
I'm drowning in its depth
so deep, there is no bottom
there is just being.
when a kiss causes
volcanoes to erupt
and the ground shakes
know it is me.
I am right for you
the way I make you quake
the way you lose yourself
in the abyss.
this could be pure...

Everyday Love
Everyday love
Feel it, forget it
It'll be there when you get back home
You get so used to all the good things
In your heart and in your life
That you forget to appreciate
The people who provide them
But there's only a certain amount of forgetfulness
That any one love can withstand
So you'd better acknowledge the people who love you
Before love fades away
And you're left with an empty house
And another broken heart
Feel it, forget it
It'll be there when you get back home
You get so used to all the good things
In your heart and in your life
That you forget to appreciate
The people who provide them
But there's only a certain amount of forgetfulness
That any one love can withstand
So you'd better acknowledge the people who love you
Before love fades away
And you're left with an empty house
And another broken heart

Secrets - Doubts
He weren't there, lad,' your dad says, as if guessing my thoughts. 'Our Scott's looked into it. Vince Macarthur never went into the woods that afternoon. He only popped out to go to the corner shop and that took no longer than five minutes and then he fell fast asleep in front of tele. He were woken up later when the police came.'
'How does Scott know that?' I say, hoping my question doesn't come across as rude.
'Never mind how he knows. Are you going to tell us what really happened?'
'I already have.'
Your dad stands up. 'Okay, lad, that's it....

Secrets - The Conversation
I wonder whether coming here was such a good idea after all. Maybe I should have written a letter instead. I ring the bell and wait. Movement inside, footsteps. An elderly woman answers the door and stares flatly at me.
'Mrs Winters?' I whisper.
No way. I'm so sorry, Craig. What have I done? Why did I make this visit today? And should I even be telling you this? Your mum's long ash blonde hair has gone, along with the perpetual smile that you and your brother inherited. She used to blow kisses at us when we were children and buy us fruit from...

Chasing Dreams
Writing all my fears on an empty page
Needing to share these random thoughts
Looking for common ground to engage
Never found it hard to connect the dots
Chasing dreams in a game of chance
I’m a realist when it comes to limitations
Sure it gets me off to make words dance
While venting all life’s many frustrations
Wisdom’s another word for commonsense
That’s been accumulating over the years
So many seasons spent sitting on the fence
Learning that nothing truly is as it appears
Needing to share these random thoughts
Looking for common ground to engage
Never found it hard to connect the dots
Chasing dreams in a game of chance
I’m a realist when it comes to limitations
Sure it gets me off to make words dance
While venting all life’s many frustrations
Wisdom’s another word for commonsense
That’s been accumulating over the years
So many seasons spent sitting on the fence
Learning that nothing truly is as it appears
