• April 20th, The Quiet Inheritance…

    April 20th does not speak.
    It enters the room
    like someone carrying a secret
    too heavy for language.

    No greetings.
    No warnings.
    Just a presence,
    dense, deliberate,
    a stone placed gently
    on the month’s trembling chest.

    This is the day
    that keeps itself in silence,
    not out of fear,
    not out o…Read More

    Damian this song showed a lot of what I was feeling in my teens. It came out in 81′ but I heard it around 87′ when I thought I was truly in love. Haha nope hormones talking.

    • Wasn’t this song the James Bond 007 theme song. “For Your Eyes Only” was also the name of a Bond movie in the 80’s I believe. Great song. Sheena Easton also did “U Got The Look” as a duet with Prince.

    It’s hard to turn away
    Even the thought takes effort
    Knowing that this..,
    This thing between you and I
    Well has no real end
    There was a beginning
    Way back when…

    I should leave
    I am the embodiment of the word toxic
    I know my faults
    My shortcomings
    I know that…
    Still, I cannot leave

    This thing is like a bungie cord
    I drop…Read More

    • Powerfully penned, Fia. Excellent write as always my friend. You know I always dig your musings. Nicely done. Appreciate you, Cuz.

    • The push pull in this is intense. Sometimes there’s a vast ocean between should and do. And as we know, I never learned to make bubbles, so swimming isn’t much of an option. Brilliantly written

    What Isn’t Heard

    there’s a vastness…
    you can’t even fathom…
    a universe you can’t imagine…
    within the realm of silence

    stories untold
    realities unexpected
    contemplative reflection
    pain unspoken

    everything locked inside a vacuum
    where the wall of it…
    can hold someone hostage
    a victim of their own thoughts

    you can’t…Read More

    • Yes, I can hear that silence. It’s the silence of a mother whose son has been cut down in a gang war or a war in a foreign country. Or the anguish of needing formula for our kids but no money to buy it. It’s the search for decent work, but not enough education to get it. Its the cries of children hiding under desk when the gunman came to school.…Read More

      • I didn’t have a choice on writing this. It’s been much on my mind of late. That deafening, heart-rending silence unheard from outside. Thank you for hearing it with me, Curt
