      Train Wreck Women and Whiskey Nights

        Froward.I found the word highlighted in my Bible.I remember liking how it rolled off my tongue. And thinking about tongues,all the women I loved over the years came to mind.Red dresses dancingbetween shots of rock gutand sloppy bar bands. Wayward.Full of...

      In Winter's Depths, I Found Summer

        In winter’s depth,I walked broken streets.Empty pockets.Head full of hissing demons.Whiskey for warmth.Neon nights for company. Underneath the frostand frozen hearts.Underneath the lonelinessin shadowed rooms.Something small, powerful—a dim pulse, barely there, but consistent.A heat without a name. And these days?Well, I’m...

      a leafy bloom’s pledge

      “a leafy bloom’s pledge"   Firm will enters through hidden morphemes, a vow carried without leaf or bloom. Resolve bends but does not shatter, its path refusing the easy blossom.   Leaf trembles against the restless air, flower opens to a waning flame. Soil shifts beneath uncertain steps, and...

      • hello dearest Thomas I have come so far I can feel you there…I’ll meet you there alone…Robyn was beautiful always giving to others…congratulations on you sobriety I wish I could say the same it’s not in the cards for me and the dark is constant company ❤️

      • Powerfully penned, Thomas. Excellent tribute write my friend. We’re losing so many voices far too early, I feel this one. Congrats on three years of sobriety brother. Lucky for us, we walked away from that demon. But no one walks away unscathed, we carry those scars still. Appreciate you.

      • Thank you. Much appreciated.

      • Robin was a hard blow to so many of all generations. When the darkness swallows them whole, it leaves us a little broken. This is an incredible tribute to those voices and a great example of your own. Those 3 years are a thing to be proud of, I know they can’t have been easy. Congratulations!

      • I can’t tell You how this touchs me personally… Profound, genuine, sincere and moving the innerself in a whole way. This is a true masterpiece not only as poetry, but as feelings and human nature. Thank You for writing and sharing this truly outstanding piece 🤍

      • Thomas loss was never painted more strongly with with such sad nostalgia as in this poem. Loved this and could feel it deep down. Because most of my old friend have passed on too. I miss them and see myself in your poem.

        John
