Growing up, my family was quite close. We’ve always loved each other very much. Those memories are what I cherish most, And though we’ve moved away, we still keep in touch. My siblings and I may not talk every day, But we’re there for each other when needed. And though there are times when there’s nothing to say, Not one of us...

A court-ordered fist full of responsibility. An anonymous man, unraveling beneath the weight of his own faulty circuitry. Infidelity sparked a chain of conformity—one so unfortunate, it defied precedent. His kin, stripped of their once-rooted masculinity, wandered into an unfulfilling life. When faced with strange anger, they clung to a mask—gleaming with false superiority. Only a fool’s bargain could birth...

Hard drugs under the sunshine, Like feeling sick with a ‘get well soon’ sticker. I’m gonna get what I said, Sicker, Sucks. I wonder why I’m even still alive, I feel like the ceiling and the room’s spinning. Life’s tough enough living, I blunder blind through the nights, When I feel like healing I come...

I celebrated my father's birthday this last April 4th, 2025 He would have been 75, Yet 7 years ago, a white butterfly laid him to rest, with the rest of his family around his casket, And my face playing masquerade among the living corpses giving me their condolences, Not of any fault of their own, Just that, my own brokenness...

Visibility is low, wear a bright vest, Cycle with lights on, caution is best. Stay on the bike path across the Tappan Zee The Hudson's below, but you can't see You can't see the water, the fog is like a wall It might be a blanket, it might be a pall You peer through glasses...

In my life, all pain has been like appendicitis. I decided to avoid Dad when newborn and crib laid; I'd heard his authoritative voice as aimed towards my toddler Brother, noted the noise ended with smack sounds and crying. By the time I was seven, Dad and Bro had a healthy bond. I still practiced...

Day and night Over my years I watch This full owl body carved from the light Of wood With its slimly painted feathers and howling eyes Held in swooping flight At an angle On a string From our family room Ceiling Circles in the heat of our furnace vent Glides in its corner in summer breezes That is beautiful enough Its constant motion suspecting me A mole Watching TV But there...

The night before my father’s heart attack, my brother and I were splayed across a bed watching a re-run of “Happy Days” and eating Oreo cookies. My father sat stiff and upright in a wooden chair. By then, his back felt like it was being pierced by daggers and the pain made his face pale and clammy. I offered him an Oreo, one...

If you're not sure if God does exist, This, please be willing to try. Think about Him in the most loving way, Ignore thoughts that say to deny. Just start thanking Him for all that you see, And especially for creating you. What can you lose for thinking He is there, Or can do what the bible says He can do? I have...

Knots in my stomach never untied I feel them tighten more and more each time tightness in my chest inside and out tears as they are swell up in my eyes waiting to be released Trapped in a loop of trying to move on and trying to look back on the past wondering how you would guide me through it The...

Through shifting tides and skies of gray, One light remained to guide my way. Through storms and trials, you stayed by my side, Whichever place, whichever time. No fleeting love, no passing phase, A bond that warmed my darkest days. No matter the chaos, the pain or the fight, You are my anchor, my shining light. She grew up with a father’s name, But...
