stitching out ...

...Never been in love
Though I don't know your password

I have feet not synchro...

While navigating Life’s troublesome sea,
We become flanked by Scylla and Charybdis
With only our life experience to guide us.

...(1)
Send me some hug,
Can't fathom the cold
Send me some light,
And free me from this
Dark, deep, and plutonian pit.
Send me your heart
Through Eros's arrows

Atropos
...A life cut after time
alive and errors made

The Squelch of Death
...I heard the squelch of death again
Now closer than it’s ever been—

Fated Hell
...Slovenly sorrows cause a blur,
Shameful shallows seep and stir.
He whimpers; a cowering cur,
Deathbed's deals, give-take, now occur.

Stepping gingerly avoiding strife
Step by step not looking left or right up or down
Eyes fixed upon living life’s line --

One horror burrowed deep in me at birth
With poison of a thousand thousand Hydras
