Inward, outward, life exists in this moment, Foggy glass tells the story, As misty fog envelops the fingers trail, Drawing through each misty breath, The image of each moment, Drifting along imaginations limitless bounds, On stretcher looking upwards, Concern etched on faces, Beep, beep, beep, the monitor speaks my souls output, Each passing second a…

Wishes Don’t Fix A Thing
I will never get back that time, Those years I wish I had, To be present with them I missed them so, Now they are grown, They don’t know who I am, How much I love them, Is lost to explanations of why I wasn’t there, Present with them, Oh, how I wish I could…
It Is But A Journey
Walking down the trail alone, Dreaming of times long gone, Molding the future ahead, Looking Death in his lonely eyes, Forging a friendship with him, Hardly know who I was, For I have lost myself on the journey of time, Who am I? Who am I? Oh… who am I? Walking these lonely trails, Up…
Watch Relief Late Again
(I am a sailor, and have stood many Low Visibility Watches where my relief never showed, here is a glimpse into what it is like to stand freezing wet for your country, starving and alone, in the fog that travels the ocean blue.) Standing watch on bow, Waves splashing to and fro, Soaked to the…
The Bipolar Ocean
Making faces in the mirror, Smiling back at me, Personality shining, Looking deep in the ocean of eyes, Breath shaking seeing deep inside, Floating on mental sea of delusion, Rowing hard against waves of depression, Drowning deep underneath the ocean of mania, Bi-polar raging its storm above, Ship creaking under the weight.
Eating a PB&J in God’s Hand
Needle pricks my skin, Looking at the needle of hysteria, Feeling the sparkles pop, Colors fade to white, As eyes close seeking Nirvana, God, I reached You, Just in the nick of time, A jack I pulled from the deck of life, Winning the lottery, Meeting me where I stand, Here I am, Bare and…
Invisible Eyes
Out the window those invisible eyes, Stare death into my soul, As I pass by nightly, Haunted trailer which haunts my dreams, For there I lived, Twice, and each time, There, I felt those eyes adrift, Floating about, Watching me move around, Now, as I pass by, Nightly, I swear I see those eyes, Staring…
Spector’s Nightly Hunt
Creak the board goes, As foot falls in silent hall, Wooden alarm bells, Warning the Spector, His prey is near, Drifting lazily through decreped, Worn down home, Past where Nature has claimed her own, Resting in nooks and crannies, Animals from fields afar, Protected from mankind, Deeper into the home, Drifting along cooridors, Past scattered…
Future Moment
Closed eyes drifting in silence, Listening to the echoes of beating heart, Dreaming of long lost dreams, Cast below the water, Into the muck, We become more as we grow, Into the being that takes us further, Past the moment, Into the future, Hold the moment they say, For the future is unclear, Yet, is…
Icy Monster Under the Waves
Running down shadowed passageway, Entrance ahead, Rolling ships bulkhead stirring the dead within, Winters grasp grips steely hull, Icy whispers drift within, Running down shadowed passageway, Entrance dead ahead, Sailors scream in dread, As Death looms from under, The Beast that sleeps under icy waves, Looms overhead, Tentacles raining icy torrents of destruction from above,…
