Empty Fields

Ah here comes the depth Here comes the midnight walks In an empty field filled with ghosts And blood and Screams from so many past lives I’ve been here too many times To care much about the escape I’ve come this time to dance With the shadows -Sasch

Her Looming Shadow

I spin her round Like a top No, more like a dance partner She’s mad She’s not interested in being spoken to this way What does she know? She asks the heavens And I dig in I know about the sex I know about the dirty little things she does when she thinks nobody’s lookingContinue reading “Her Looming Shadow”

Uplift

I was determined to show up and love you where you were I propped my chest open to let some air in And then you had to go and critique my body I was fine I would have left unscathed But you had to talk about something I’ve taken years to love. Something that hasContinue reading “Uplift”

Dear Lover

The life you desire doesn’t exist with me It makes me sad I’m not the one for you I’ve no desire to grow into something created for you I’ve stepped away from the crowd I spend nights on the outskirts of town Contemplating the darkness within me I’ve nothing to give but words on wordsContinue reading “Dear Lover”

Hi :-)

I flip my hands I open my heart I see him on the edge pages flip horses run waters rush by or was that the wind whatever it was He’s got my attention

Alive

The Gift of Thought

We are strongly encouraged to live on autopilot day in and day out but we need time to rest so that we can think clearly. It is not necessary to be able to recall information at warp speed, but we do need to give our brains what our brains need. Here’s a list of aContinue reading “The Gift of Thought”

Philosophy and Character

When your philosophy/belief system does not in any way line up with your behaviors I’m calling you out on your character And I support anyone else who calls you out I don’t understand why people get mad when their character is attacked while spewing beliefs they don’t even follow for themselves Change your behavior orContinue reading “Philosophy and Character”
