I am sitting in the living room
And I hear my phone dinging in the kitchen.
I pick it up and stare at it.

And Stanley Black and Decker is the brand for me.

All stealthy delivered by my neighbor's tree.

Tickling my silky thoughts

Goosebumps race down

my delicious pleasure zones
Let our hearts...Read More

Finally found himself in the lap of luxury
All the cash he had
Was so damn comforting

That struggle he,
Knew well
But...Read More

I created you to serve me 
To be with me
Without you
With my breath and pulse
My actions do not vibe
There is no meaning or purpose
They do not rock my world

Not that I care
If...Read More

Unfinished can be a symphony,

There are no rhyme or reason for music,

An ear to hear and a mouth to sing.

In the woods beyond the city lights,
Stood a tree that knew no fear of heights,
An oak majestic, its foliage lush,
The perfect home, both safe and plush.

A family of thrushes claimed it as their own,
To raise their brood and see them...Read More

Seasons were four 
Driving our calendar
Regular like clockwork
Now reduced to a
An unpredictable mishmash

And so it begins
The game of life
The dominos of love
Falling where they may
The timer activated
Fresh out of a box

Just out for some fun
Moving game pieces
Taking turns
At winning and...Read More
