Looking up, the metal monstrosity hovered over me, The rocket flared, shooting the being high into the stratosphere, Floating, zigging, zagging, and otherwise outflying the world below, Gravity touched not its jagged wings, The jarred hearts inside, caring not for the fear below, Their mass hysteria a joke to them, Few cares for a world…

Rock
On my knees, praying to the denim gods, One more tear, one more riff, One more guitar melody, One more song, one more headbang, Before I meet the morning star, The epiphany to the melodic symphony, Flowing on the flair of every shooting star, The screeching eclectic guitar, Aiming high, Hitting the low notes, The…
Mountain Road
Face pressed against ice cold fogged window pane, Little nose creased wide smile engaged, Bright eyes twinkle with childhood desire, Staring at the beautiful, Twin wheel, double turbo, bell and whistle package, Red bicycle, double card pack, triple aces in the wheel, Followed by the Joker, tied to the rear hazard light, Feet pressed, legs…
Decisions
Emotions attacked me, Two handed, single coin, Flip to dare, Each life a different stage, Each a hazardous lane, Choices chase me, Day dreaming, day and night, Sleep avoiding me, In my mental fight.
Bi-Polar Out of Control
***Trigger Warning*** (Bi-Polar Psychosis, Mania, Depression, Suicide, Hospital Stay, Divorce, LGBTQ+) I remember the first ER visit. How scared everyone was and how much of a euphoric high my emotions had me on. I saw a quote from Ozzy Osborn recently that explained it, (paraphrased) “I was so out of control and I thought I…
Crease of Time
Subdued, trapped in the beam, Light particles caressing me, Ceasing to exist in the crease of time, As the worm hole absorbs me, Dark hole, warping space time, Blanket of stars comfort me, A journey of the gods, Departed Eons ago, Floating till Eternities end, On the great expanse, The vast nervous system of the…
First Time I Noticed My Mental Health
This will be short. I often try to identify when things started to go askew in my mind. I remember at the age of 10 having a strong realization of how alone I was. It was an extremally powerful emotion that I had to work through in the moment. The feeling was validated for years…
A True Life Experience
Mid-80’s Summer, hot sun beamed day, Cool mountain breeze, on Putney Mountains peak, Soft whisper of branches waving to me, Little boy of no more than five, The forest calling to me, Enchanting voice filling me with promises, The red apple of delight, The sweet nectar for me to suckle, As it drew me into…
The Whale
In Northeastern woods I walk, The trails lay miles behind me, Each step a journey towards my manhood, Each step a victory toward my warrior status, Each journey a vision matching my sailor heritage, Sailors blood pumping through my veins, On seas of courage, Swimming with Krakens, Yelling in the face of the vicious misstress,…
