Some time ago
A late night supper
Was set for me
Steaming dishes
Plates
Glasses
Solitary salt and pepper 
In silver trim
All waited for me
On white linen. 

Finished
I sat back 
Drink in hand
Remembering
Life takes many roads
Some twisted
Others narrow and endless
Signs 
Glowing in the night
Dot the lonely highway
Pointing in different directions.

Take nothing...

Our little wooden cottage
    nestled by the sea,
Our get-away, our hideaway,
    just there for you and me.

No T.V. and no telephone,
     but fun there is to be,
Swimming, tanning, frolicking,
     in our...

If only...

OH THE whole worlds come, come all 
We fill up the world maritime with soil-
I know that is against natural appeal
Therefore our precious time shall we fritter away;
For where we hollow out the soil from
There shall we leave another sea-
Where then shall we term residence?
But...

when a parent of a child 
experiences
with an odd mixture of shame,
humor & wonder,
that very first lie
which their children tells them,
does this parent experience the same feeling that they 
themselves did
when they found out that 
santa
wasn’t real?

like the slim difference between 
a hysterical laughing face
&
a...

Bobby comes home from work to screaming kids and a nagging wife;
Feeling as if he hasn’t had a moment of peace in his entire life.

Jackson comes home from work to a dark and empty house;
Longing to fill the void of it all with offspring and...

When disrespect is given 
Never expect generosity
When fakeness is proven 
Never expect the same treat
When a sorry is said but not taken in action 
Don’t ever imagine or wait for forgiveness
In this case it is never granted
Cold frosty rude looks should be from the person...

I am sitting here alone, my partner is in bed
I am still up here, while she rests her head
I have been off work for two whole weeks
I’ve been off with stress, troughs and peaks

I feel better now; so back it’s back to work I go
I...

Self destructive, even writing on pages without lines feels chaotic and liberating 
even though I know the frustration I will feel as my words slope downwards, down 
words. They angle, pitching against my embedded need for order and yet I fight 
them I struggle to...

when a christian is laughing along with you
& 
enjoying your presence,
at work or while in a social context
& 
then somehow by some random comment 
the fact that you do not believe in the work of fiction they abide by 
or
worship that infamous underdeveloped dramatic character...

after a days work i am ready to 
unwind
drink a beer smoke a blunt just to 
ease my mind
to also put me in a mode to relieve 
my stress
and stay focused on my task which 
is being the best
sometimes i just chill and stay in...
