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![Profile Photo]()

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 More2 Comments-

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.

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![Profile Photo]()

Ignited
You threw the match on gasoline
It was always flammable
It’s stable if not bothered
You did it, though
You struck the match
Watch it light
Then threw it.Did you doubt it would light?
Did you want to see if it was destructive?
You knew it was
The temperature is hotter the closer you get
I advise you to stay away
Let the…Read More![Profile Photo]()
