The fire burned slowly in the distance. I built a small fire to keep warm. Snow covered the area. The sun burned bright in the sky above and the mountains disappeared onto the horizon. My gear had some wear and tear from the crash. All supplies seemed accounted for. I needed to find the best [...]
Welcome to Hell
I was in Hell. It was dark, you couldn’t see the end of the room. People filled it from wall to wall. The crowd awaited the much anticipated leaders. The five young men that would lead this madness of adrenaline infused human beings were about ready. Few lights hung from the ceiling, lighting the stage [...]
Amplification
Remember the times when responsibility didn’t exist? Remember the times when you fell running and got a fat lip? Remember when appreciation didn’t matter? And everything around us was just a bunch of clatter? Remember the times that you pouted and ran to your room? Or the times that you weren’t as tall as mommy’s [...]
My Valance
My mom pressed play and threw away the remote. The time was hers and my life she chose. I jumped on the scene with the script she wrote and acted a fool until I choked. See, it was her reading, until I wrote. I found my hand around my throat; since I couldn’t talk I [...]
The Young Man and the Funeral
I have searched up-ways, down-ways, side-ways, back-ways and front-ways for the meaning of my life. I have found little evidence that I will ever find that meaning. My past has only shown me hurtful things in my life and my future lay as a blank as a brand new three subject notebook. [...]
The Empty Trinket
You’re stowed away now because you just collected dust. I bought you with hopes that I’d have the best of luck. Thus far…nothing. I watched you day after day, night after night, your beautiful interior began to fade…Ruby red to almost a dark gray. Tarnished from the seeping light through my curtains. I tried to [...]
Weeping Willow
One hand on your core and I’m circling around. My eyes are closed and I don’t
hear any sounds. I can stop the world if I want to, whenever you’re around. As I
walk towards you,particularly at night, I see you breathing in the surrounding
light. I can’t wait to be under you,you’re my protection from life. Nothing [...]
A Pyramid Of Success
These mountains are steep and my strides are wearing thin. I seem to have lost my energy around that last bend. I’ve been up and down a few times, and now I’m stuck somewhere in between. I don’t know which way to go let alone where I’ve been. I’m alone and I’m cold and I [...]
The Ambiguous Fowl
Walking through this fog, brushing against my face like the softest plumage, reminds me of your touch. I’m reminded in every passing, not only of her beauty but the unearthed connection that we share. Unspoken, as she flies and I stare at the beautiful colors that protect her. Our worlds conjoined only to be split, [...]
The Love Gypsy
What seems to be an endless pathway has an undiscovered resemblance. Light tan dirt consisting of the widest array of beautifully toned pebbles. Each synonymous in their own way, but the big picture is an odd shade of gray. My feet prints have yet to be laid but sure enough with the wind being blocked [...]
