Gave me a compliment

What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you? A lot of my life has been spent living in emotional pain from loneliness. In high school an English teacher I wasn’t even in class with would stop me in the hall and tell me I was doing a good job and to keep my…

Where Will I Be

Looking in the mirror I see You, Lord, Looking back at me, High, drunk, enraged, full of anxious fear, oh Lord, Where do I go, What do I say, Do I just let go, Or, do I stay, How can I go on, oh Lord? My life has gone by me, All this time lost,…

Contemplations

Sitting here full of contemplations, Mind ticking through file after file, Stacks of discarded memories hover, Floating about the ethereal regions of far off memory, Grasping at strings, Attempting to fill the gaps with empty boxes, Imaginative speculations leading to paranoid delusions, This or that, tit for tat, Crazily spelunking down cavern walls, Deeper into…

Talking god

Ever feel as if that voice is just hinting away, Those conversations are too close, That you hear inspiration behind words, People thousands of miles apart saying the same thing, Or is it the moment, The world is in chaos, Is it the wild turbulance, Driving the, “no atheists in foxholes” event, We stand looking…

I’m having a rough time

Reasons For a Joyful Christmas

Little joyful voices ring and sing, Happy faces peak everywhere, Candy canes hanging from stocking, Smiles and joyful dreams, Where child meets Santa Clause, On bended knee he does listen, To little ones big dreams, Imaginings and beginnings, As the magic fills the holy season, Christmas a time for all, All to sing in joy,…

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…

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…
