Lunchbox Ponderings
I wonder if we'll find ourselves in the slow dance of love as we shift towards orchestrating and choreographing our own brand whilst navigating our way through negotiating the perimeters in which our bond will be built upon for it is foolish to make the same mistake again when neither of us spoke up about those things, once upon a time as we both played with fire & ice, melting into one another for a brief moment in time.
I’m capable of discerning that we’ll need to consider how this actually unfolds, and how strategic we'll have to be to deter us from facing a severance, and...

Leap of a Lifetime
New Zealand is known throughout the world for two things – sheep and Bungy Jumping. I have seen enough sheep in Australia to satisfy my longing so I decided that while I was in New Zealand I would experience their other famous export for myself.
Not that I had any intention of doing this crazy stunt before I left home. Oh No! There were plenty of other things for me to waste my money on. But it’s funny how situations change!
Anyway, enough of that! The point is that, at this moment, I am waiting in a queue of people about to take the leap of a lifetime. Will I survive what lies...

Stalking 101
Gosh. It takes everything within me not to click on that little blue button, and just say...
“hello... how are ?”
I see no photographs of a wife or children, just you and your brothers, and your beloved fur baby.
So. I make myself at home on your landing page, just like an old buddy would, and I gaze upon your gorgeous face framed with glasses, and listen to those snippets of the songs; which tells me you remember.
You’re even better to gaze upon now than what you were 20 years ago; just like timeless aged vintage, and I get...

WORTH
Listen mate,
you can hide your silver in dirt
but it won't tarnish,
unlike the human mind.
think about it.
You say you're in love?
First of all,
is she in love with you too?
or is it you two???
*laughs out loud*
Lord have mercy!
Wait a moment,
Must you be the one to hold her?
you wanted to be the only one,
right?
Not to bash you but
...is that possible even?
Truth be told,
She's just an ordinary whore.
..and whores rarely think about love,
I'm afraid.
Dude, ...

but it won't tarnish,

Exit Stage Left.
Ever wander around the bustling cities and still feel alone?
Maybe even find yourself on a park bench, watching others play roles of society.
Becoming the audience to their story, as they are dancing, running and walking across the stage. The sky consists of the stage lightning, Hell is the under stage,
Heaven is backstage and you would be understudies.
When the curtain falls, does the audience praise your performance?
The role you've played, grand or not, are they laughing? Applauding?
Your God's the director, your parents the stars and characters you try...

His Confessional
Dear Trouble,
I know you don't understand because it has been a year since my death. You see I knew my time was short so I wrote these letters to the boys and you. I wrote to tell you the truth and things I could not say to your faces. There will be mutiple letters and they all will be different. Tailored to you and problems we faced together. My last Doctor appointment I refused to let you code along. I told you to take care of your son and leave me alone to take care of myself. Then when I came back from my appointment I refused to tell your cousins and you what the doctors said....

Apple Pie
I wonder what its like to deep dive within the layers that exist behind those piercing blue eyes, just so I might know the places in which your pain is derived to enable me to seal those wounds, and gently blow kisses upon them to mitigate the escalation of the ache that might exist when something triggers your memory centre.
You invade my waking hours and the hint of anticipation emerges as I entertain myself with you several times a day whilst going about my business, daydreaming about the memory of you and you tiptoe across my heart leaving me undone from the emergence of...

sad
well i met a random soul the other day
complaining she was sad. her boyfriend told her to choose
heroin or him
she chose heroin, the conversation was great
nodding out, face planted in the couch
my response was "do u think its fair?"
" that everytime you get high he has to wonder if your going to die?"
the end

Nascent
I memorised the way in which you touched my flesh, tapping away like braille as if you were blind to the way our flesh spoke to one another. Coasting upon the axis of your pole until the pulsations within gripped you - tightly, reflecting the beating of my heart as we clung to one another in the rawness of our own kind of divinity, on the cusp of Winter equinox.
Arched, and morphing into one another as you drill me hard to drive home your point pertaining to my sense of belonging, when the wondering hands of others upon my flesh invaded your sanity, typified by absence as the...

Rick's Letter
Dear Trouble,
My dearest niece I can't tell you this in person. Hopefully you can forgive me for telling you in a letter. I have been diagnosed with colon cancer. I found out about two weeks ago and have been trying to figure out a way to tell the boys and you. Please don't be afraid. Everything will be ok and I will survive this. I will be doing whatever treatment they want be to. Please give me a call when you get this. I'll be in the field when you get home.
Love,
Rick
