But you and I know better that he is a broken friend

Lament of a Traveler

So far ahead the shattered break
With drifting light through limbs that ache
So far behind left to hesitate
On raven wings broke the key of dreams

And so many footprints spent traceless
Along sundown’s passage
As they...

They failed the almighty creator
There in the Forbidden Garden of Eden
Who could tell where the sinful garden is now?
That smal pretty hut where sin began in deceitful manner
Then to the...

I’m heartless. 
I don’t know where my heart is.

Hateful, 
I’m looking for my happiness.

But I can’t move,

The power of fear is banished

rowing east to west
with the rising sun to setting down

an abode of naughtiness
builds a palace to the far
mountain of darkness

moonlight there are

Maybe
Baby

Young cad

Leaves her
For Fleur!

Teen mum
So glum

Feels rough

Bedlam!

Head’s down
Feels crown

Mops brow
Push NOW

Babe’s...

All Hail King Kelly
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

A footle a day
Keeps melancholy away.
And I just must say.
Sean Kelly, today,

Your words have risen.
Life’s fun to new heights-
Hail now,...

I lost my way
In the wrinkles of the road!

Footless the night creeps into my room
It's not that I don't want to sleep
but the emptiness is creeping into myself.

The wind that would begin its violent roar

Coming out from alcoholic stupor 
                of last night's wild binging,
     he's killing stretches of morning...
