Divorcing Reality
if…
this is it and
this is what I
can expect
from reality
then let me leave
let me walk away
and never come
back to this place
to this offering
perhaps then I
can create my
own reality

Hell
there should be no fear of
a hell to come
rather fear those things
being forced upon you
by others who lay claim
to knowledge you don’t
currently possess
knowledge which will
for a hefty price
and constant servitude
help you prevent torments
but by adhering to their
sorcery and deception
you have created the hell
you fear the most
within this life

A New Play
Close your eyes.
What do you see?
A dream?
A vision?
Your future?
Your past?
Past love?
Past loss?
Are you haunted?
Are you comforted?
You can’t hide,
You can’t avoid,
Any of this.
You close them,
Again and again.
The mind’s lights,
go out and,
set the stage,
time and again.
Write a new,
fresh chapter,
to replace,
unwanted plays,
repeating,
in your mind.

Blog Party Declared
I’ve been keeping this blog since July 30th of last year. In that amount of time, I’ve met so many of you, read so much of your writing, seen your photography, interacted with you, received your comments, and generally been given so much support that it was time to do this to say THANK YOU!! I declare a…
Here’s how it works:
Create a post on your blog about one of your current followers. Choose anyone you wish.
- Title your post “Blog Party Declared” and link back to this post somewhere in your post. This will create a pingback to this post which will appear in the comments below. This way everyone can be directed to your post to read about your featured follower as well as to give us all the opportunity to follow your blog and the blog of your featured follower.
- Keep your post from becoming too long but be sure to link to your follower’s blog and say why you’ve chosen them.
- Check back on this post on occasion to see the links that appear in the comments section so you can go see the blogs of others to read their latest work and to show them a little love by following.
NOTE: I promise to follow anyone who takes part in this blog party and I’ll also follow the blog featured in your post.
My Featured Blogger for this first Blog Party is:
Mike has been a follower here since virtually the beginning. It’s possible he was the first to follow, actually. And that’s not to mention that he’s been exceptionally supportive by hitting that “Like” button virtually every time I’ve posted.
Mike writes some great poetry. Shoot, even his titles are amazing! His most recent is THE CONFESSIONAL OF REMINISCENCE. Here’s an excerpt:
“You have the peerless cocktail mix
Defining the addled moron that was
Me in those sophomoric know-all days”
That could describe so many of us in our younger years of rebellion, teenage lust, wantonness, and craziness. Mike nails the description in this piece – something he has a habit of doing in his writing – nailing it!
And I haven’t even mentioned that Mike can rock the color black!
Go check him out and be sure to give him a follow. He’s a heckuva fine writer!
That’s pretty much it! Simple. Stick around and enjoy the Blog Party!

Lost Me
Was it as I aged
or when I was a child?
Did it happen willingly
or was it taken away?
Somewhere along the way
I have lost me.

In A Hurry
one check of the window
can confirm the state of
all these humans today
running about wildly
like helpless poultry with
heads tragically removed
.
flashing gadgets demand
all of their attention
as they walk blindly to
fro and into one another
.
consumerism their
new, devoted love
time is never cherished
it’s now the enemy
.
the world is in a big
damned frenzy of a hurry
if only they would stop
to see their fellow man

I Would
if you’re wondering if
I would love you forever
I would
if you want to know if
I will always stay
I would
if you’re wondering if
I would lay down my life for you
I would
whatever you ask of me
whatever you need from me
I would
Two Pursuits
One pursues me while
I make haste to catch
up with the other
One remains illusive
ducking my advances
the other a daily reminder
that it intends to devour me
One is sure destruction
the end of all things
the other a source of peace
a respite from troubled life
These two – love and death
represent the ultimate
final destination
I must outrun love
to catch the other
Broken
At the time it shatters,
the tragedy begins.
Broken and defeated,
it lies in utter ruin.
It is not the heart.
It is the mind.
Four Days
four days
four days now my mind
has been running
the switch has never
been turned off
there have been times
in which it may have idled
but it’s been running
occasional bursts came
from stepping on the gas
then back into idle
it’s sitting and humming now
soon I’ll have no choice
it will run out of fuel
or seize up
four days
