    Cabin of Castigation

    In a small, remote cabin,Illuminated by candlelight,Resides a solitary manTrying to sleep away a stormy night. Outside, rain pours,Thunder booms, and lightning streaks.Every gust of wind causes the old cabin to creak. The man’s neck is sore.His body aches.He hopes for...

    One Final Dance

    Illuminated only by the light of the moon,A bright spotlight highlighted a lone woman,Standing on a dark and desolate street.She wore a long, fanciful black dress,Her long blond hair done so neatly.Her feet were bare,Confused as to why and...

    Withering Rose

    For years we lived in a lustful glee You were my sun, keeping darkness from me. You were my light that allowed me to see, Until there came an era of virulent disease. Billions were afflicted in the first few weeks, Quickly followed by death...

    Without Any Light

    Remember when the music felt alive  Electric waves forming into thoughts Writing words was a means to survive   Simple days spent longing for love Never taking time to connect the dots Left alone as push turned to shove   Wasted moments a desperate stare Forgot the next...

    • Dear D,

      This piece brings in memories of writing letters, buying actual record albums, listening to the radio on an actual radio. I greatly appreciated the thought process in this write and the subtle warning to be aware of things lurking about. Terrific write. H🌷

    • Dreams are casting doubt once again
      It sometimes seems it’s so deliberate
      Like a stiff jab landing across the chin

    • I walked through this one like the aisles of record stores, and frantically scribbling in my spiral bound notebooks, and trying to survive in a world full of so much that sorting it out became impossible…so we just chose live in the music and the words. The conversations that felt monumental then…come back today and feel even more incredibly relevant. But we hadn’t thought of them in years. Like the binding of time through word and thought. So hard to feel those moments in a time like now, when everything is fake news and nothing can be trusted. You took me on a journey here, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Oh, the aisles of the record stores. That’s a sweet memory from the past. Talking music brings people together I’ve always believed that. That’s some incredible commentary dearest friend, you’ve been missed around here. Warms my heart to see you wandering the halls again. Glad I could take you on a journey.. Appreciate you.

    • Great vibe on this one, nostalgic but also fond of warm memories.
      Nicely penned.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Wally. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m a nostalgic guy sometimes, it’s nice to have a warm memory to visit, before returning to present-day reality. You’ve been on a commenting streak brother, thank you for your continued support. Appreciate you.

    People Shouldn’t Like Me

    People shouldn’t like me.Not easily.Not casually.Not in that shallow, you’re pleasant to be around way. They shouldn’t like me because I don’t exist to be digestible.I don’t smooth my edges so rooms stay comfortable.I don’t shrink my pain into something...
