From out Pandora’s box there flew the questions, answers, thoughts, feelings, and I gathered them like woman do within the confines of review. Laid start to end they made no sense so I shuffled them like cards, you know, and fanned them round as if to deal the truth into mind’s memory. But soon the [...]

I understand where it came from, where it’s gone to a deep mystery, but I’m not inclined to delve and pry or not trust the process of love. But still the missing of corners and bends perturbs a traveller on roads to the end for always they should lead into straights that allow a return [...]

From beneath the surface of burial grounds can be heard the sounds of restlessness and it’s like the sand moves underfoot and topples the stance of permanence. I buried the past deep down underground and thought it would lie forever as dead so I kept a fair distance from the rumble like one in protection [...]

How amazing is the heart to break and break again and not ere be done with the pulse of agony. Slow running stitches stabilize the tear but when the thread runs out a revealing stare results. And that stare like a laser beam cuts right to the core and in situ cauterizes the advance of [...]

The sun rises quietly like a peeping tom and sneaks an intrusive look through open windows of the mind made so to be visible by innate honesty. It’s a moment of joy and sorrow combined that forces on the sun a hasty rise above for to move and hide the view a time to tabulate [...]

Not with pen and paper, not with imagination, but with a lifetime review comes the definite knowledge of failed experiments. ‘tis the makers and creators that exceed their boundaries and plan according to a dream not meant to be and I, the innocent, bear the weight of failure.

It’s a lazy sun that rises now as if passion dead and gone and the sky that once inspired no longer energized. I talk as if I can be heard like hope whispers in the night and think of good and better days as if they’ll come again. But today I watch the inter-play and [...]
