Oblivian

Imagined in the recessed mind of third grade fantasy play, Off charge knights at play, All bright with the same magical flight, Carrying them onward on superstitious flight, Don’t step on that crack, Don’t your mother’s back will crack, Take control of that magical imagination, Carrying us on the sea of vivid subtropic imgination, Where…

Mantra For Myself

Breathe, inward and outward, Peace, inward and outward, Calm, inward and outward, Strong, inward and outward, Stoic, inward and outward, Understanding, inward and outward, Caring, inward and outward.

Forever Recovery

Forever I am stuck, In this viscous cycle of recovery, Never ending my brain turns, Churning out the cycler thoughts, Which spin the paranoia, Out of thin air, Such circles spin and spin, As I sit stuck in this everlasting cycle, Recovering from each stressful moment, Each time feeling little further from the start, Slower…

Building dreams, climbing stair after stair, Skylines, horizons, all the izons, They are my dreams horizone, Zoning in and out, Duality swirls around my soul, Lifting me past morals and emotion, Bringing me down to human levels, Here I stand, there I go, Average man turned average man again, Again, I stand here, suit in…

>Forest of My Mind<

I feel as if I am in a bubble that holds my mind and spirit outwardly from my body. Looking within I see the emotions churn and broil. Roasting away under the heat aggression of anger and rage, the emotions slowly dry, crumbling to the dust of regret and wasted effort. Inward, searching the crevices’…

Sea Stories: A Surprise Visit

It was a random port off the coast of FL, I met my uncle with my leave chit in hand, a day of liberty for he and I to make up for lost years. We sat on his couch watching “The Mummy” enjoying pizza. I cherish that sea story.

Project

So many unfinished projects laying about, clustering my office with their frizzy voices all screaming, “finish me, finish me… finish me!” Inside my head another voice rings out, “lazy, unproductive, product of depression, and utterly useless.” Then at times despite feeling out of control, lazy, useless, depressed, I have to make a 180 and help…
