Slipping
It’s gone away again, for a time. This thing I call a mind. It drifts away on wings sublime, headed for the happier times. When nothing was wrong, when there was no doubt. Or fearsome, hateful, screaming shouts. I wish it would return again. Yet I know not when it will. Continue reading

Thoughts
Lost in thought no where to be found. It seems like such a wonderful thing. I can be in my mind with no one around, yet instead often sorrow does it bring. Too many memories filled with pain. Too much to handle many filled with shame. Too much to take and file away. So much Continue reading

My Children
I love you more than you will ever know. Far more than I’ll ever be able to show. I held you tight when you were born, so tiny and frail. Such a perfect sight, it filled me with utter delight. I saw you open your eyes so bright, They were filled with the purest light. Continue reading

The Edge
I stand in the edge of a dual abyss Wondering to which do I turn. On either side I can tell something is amiss. Yet I yearn to plunge in, no I burn. One leads to madness, deep and dark. Filled with agony, despair, and discordant thought. It beckons me sweetly, with it’s sweet song. Continue reading

Swirling Words
Swirling around, filled with sound. The joy of words will always abound. It’s fun to play and sling the words. For joy can be found, in the sounds I’ve heard. Sometimes they rhyme But not all the time. Sometimes they conjure images So life like and vivid. Whimsical in nature, and seldom understood. The written Continue reading

Losing it
Chains of crimson rage, make up the bindings of my cage. Lost within this deadly haze, a foreboding of my coming craze. I see red all around, it’s a color, or perhaps a sound. It bleeds through everything it touches, grasping it all in sinister clutches. It fills me with it’s rage. My mind goes Continue reading

Mudslide
Murky clouds cover the skies, the birds they flee all we hear are their cries. Away they rush lest they die. Lighting flashes thunder rumbles, boom sounds roar and tumble. We rush for doors, on the knob fumble, away from the coming storm. Rain falls in a torrential sheet, as if the skies do surely Continue reading

Life
Life is all about taking a chance, as it leads us along on such a merry dance. Which will will go, to the left or right? No one knows until the end is in sight. We take the chance and play our part, we speak the words from our heart. We take our shot in Continue reading

Churning
Water writhing like serpents here, as the was draw ever near. Twisting, hissing, bubbling, no longer clear. As the waves climb we feel fear. A roaring rush is all we heard, as the waters heave and rise again. When will it stop, when will it end. Growing shapes beneath the waves, creatures from the darkest Continue reading

Sylvan shadow
Like a rolling tide the mist goes by, gray and thick what in it hides? Will it pass us by? Or will we get a nasty surprise. From the mist comes shrieks and howls. Deep and wild, throaty growls. Shadows live within the shroud, through our minds they every prowl. The imagination makes wild things Continue reading
About Me
A Simple man who dreams of being an Author one day. A lover of poems and stories of all types. A dreamer and a tale weaver in my spare time. What little I have as a father of three. Come sit by the fire, and let me spin my tales, let me speak my rhymes, and show you, a quite good time.
