That dark curtain, What is behind it? Shall we peak? What should we discover? Will it be? What we think it was? For the dark curtain draws back, Revealing it’s secrets dressed in black, Black gowned Spector rises.

I Hope to Never Visit a Hospice
What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why? I never want to visit a hospice because I don’t handle end of life well. I say the wrong things while attempting to comfort those close to the end. I have troubles containing my emotions to the surrounding loved ones. I feel that…
Preparing for a New Feast
A window closed, Curtains contain the foggy exterior, Inside an empty house I stand, Now ready to expand and grow, Sludge hammer in hand, I begin the renovations, While memories and depression pound at my door, I paint and decorate, Filling each room with unique life, Dancing about on happiness, While singing with the morning…
A Circle of Dreams
There I sat alone atop a hill, Below in the valley of memories stood turmoil, I turned around and beheld a blank canvas, Looking beside me a bucket of paint and a single brush appeared, Stroke after stroke I painted my dreams, Envisioning a life full of communication and happiness, Friendships budded and faded, Relationships…
Sober Difficulties
Absent from my life, Absent from my lung, Absent from my belly, Oh how hard it is to miss that drunken high, Higher and higher till I landed, Flat and maladjusted, Using to avoid life, Life not lived to avoid thought, Void and bland, Now sober my airplane lands, Runway to take off again, Never…

Moments
Writing on the wall, Advanced notice given, Moving trucks rolling out, Life seems to be falling, Short a dozen or so items, Moving in, all disorientated, Lost my effects, 4 times no less, Always picking myself up by my jeans, The first time I found myself, A walking country song, 2 jeans, 2 shirts, a…
Blog UPDATE
This year has been a very productive and successful year. On Jan 1 2021 I made my New Years resolution to write on my blog every month. Often I talk about Patrick Rothfuss and the motivation I received from his wise words, “write for yourself because most things people write are only seen by them….
