    • On going battle. Interesting work here.

      • Thanks Damian for your considered comment.
        I try not to over complicate or force my writing.A thought just arrives ( at strange moments) that needs to be explored.
        For example, while waking this morning I had a simple thought which I haven’t quite been able to expand on…’what is actually real’…might have to work on this one.

    Your Abyss

    I look into your tear-some eyes with profundity. I scout with a penetrating gaze and see your realm of watery graves.   Those eyes of yours are the gates, beyond the reeking eyes is an abysmal mind.   The anguish welled within, there I meet you to bathe...
