Have you ever reached into that bag of goodies that is your life and experienced that tummy-dropping sensation when you find it to be a tad empty a little short-handed not containing what you need for your current situation and everything absolutely everything becomes one massive all pervasive reverberating echo making you feel positively, undoubtedly unable to cope and in your mind all you can hear pulsing...

Do I wish you dead, rather than merely dying? You see, if you were gone now, oh now, not remaining then, not here at a future time, with lasting misery, it would be no longer. It could be gone, gone, gone, and I should have time once the gravity of grieving had become something that was then, then, then rather than now, now, now. (April 2022)...

There are moments when I wish I thought like a very young child; No past, present or future. Only now and not now. Time; meaningless, painless. No yesterday; no dark memories waiting in the hidden corners of the few fond ones. Silent, predatory. No today; no mistakes to make, words misunderstood; by accident or calculation. Bruising, bloody. No tomorrow; no roads ahead with twists and turns; demons around each bend. Dangerous, lonely. Only...

I: Fear. A lot of fear. You: Get rid of it. I :Pain. A lot of pain. You : Do not focus. I: Then? You : Look at me. I looked . With a vague try. I am learning to be emotionless And I am shivering to touch the emotion. I told myself another story. Not now. It is not time yet. One day, I...

You ran scared And I was enthralled Thoughts of chasing you Entered my mind briefly But maybe you were not the one My internal thoughts said otherwise We argued quite powerfully Which of us had chased you away? I thought muse scared you Her imagination way too vivid Muse thought it was my inability to organize Matters not now You are gone and we are not...

life barely a spark in time flashed past brief memories soon forgotten promises made to ourselves loves the world still unfilled new year’s resolutions barely edited from year to year promises that take a moment to make a lifetime to honour as the inevitable end at accelerating pace draws to a slow or painful abrupt cessation promises? if not now, when? ...

The doctor came; he said very clearly, "a handful of days, if nearly". I looked him squarely, and then most directly, "time is what you make it". The doctor left, he did not come back, yet he was sure and shook his head. I sat alone for a while, in a chair near the table, by...

The world is what we make it, so let’s make it grand and gold, and glorious. The universe smiles upon those who send it love, so let’s do that. My own sweet soul is whispering stuff, but do I listen? Not now, I say. I am busy. Too busy to listen to my own soul? Too busy to help...

For long we have sailed in the river of sadness When and how questions caressing the lips The nostrils sniffing the odor of violence Like a country in which average age is deceased We waited for the day this will be abolished Smoke of restless wailing to heavens We wished but to see it end Beauty too rich Now nothing but like a...

(True Feelings) This is not the time to be vulnerable. For it not part of my life nor in my calendar. I been through my rough times but had few good ones. I will never let my past make me vulnerable not now not ever. Writing these memories was hard indeed. I buried them so well I forgotten they ever...

I tried to be numb But I guess I’m dumb I should just let this go Or I’ll be in sorrow I want to feel again But I don’t want to yet Not now for I’m not set To have feelings again I don’t want to hurt someone Always a doubt on my mind I’ll just wait that it’ll be gone Go and leave nothing behind Let...

You were here for me, but then you left. Took my heart and it was theft. You promised me that you would love me forever. I wish I was clever enough to not go down that road, ever. You were the only one I trusted. But now I am disgusted.You were my best friend; my only friend. Pretending like nothing happened....
