    Unlimited Editions

    we were young once
    in years – yes
    but beyond that…
    in ways you cannot quantify
    a youth borne of possibility
    maybes still on the horizon
    with wide open eyes
    taking chances…
    for the sheer joy of doing
    because of the challenge it represented…
    the suspicion…
    it had never before been tried
    sufficient reason…Read More

  • Time
    Is it time
    I guess it’s time for me
    to give you information you see
    Because I don’t know how I was going to work this day
    Everyday is not like yesterday
    I know that you’re surprised
    I decided to do this at this moment
    Why
    I write poems, I write stories, I write facts
    When it hits me, I have to give it to you
    You understand that…Read More

    • Powerfully penned, Fia. An excellent write with lots of layers my friend. Congrats on writing for 30 days straight that couldn’t have been easy. I don’t think I could do it. Appreciate you, Cuz.

      • Thank you Damian. Well, I actually did this poem free verse on the street walking to work. Its longer than this but I stopped here.

    • The inevitable impulse. The opening – “Is it time / I guess it’s time for me / to give you information” – creates a tension between the inner calling and hesitation. The subject doesn’t decide: time decides for him. It’s almost an involuntary confession.

    Glass Houses and Crusaders

    listen
    I’m not angry
    I know you mean well
    but I need to set one thing straight
    I don’t need anyone charging in
    trying to save my day
    swinging a shiny sword
    astride a big white horse
    not when I’m already taking action
    I fight my own battles
    mop my own damn floors
     
    like that knight ever on a crusade
    you…Read More
