Emotional, at least I thought you were. Both of us never in doubt. Hopeful, without benefit of anything that told us so; we went on faith. Now it seems as if we were wrong, in oh, so many ways. Learning the hard way, that hope is not a prayer. Maybe we were idle when … Continue reading Puzzle Box

Pandemonium
The days are getting longer, with each morning burning up the sky. Every evening stretching out the light and the eyes change to compensate. Never been so sure in my whole life. Always been wrong, clutching a scientific mind, but these days march with the in crowd to the beat of our own drum. … Continue reading Pandemonium
The War For All Time
Dust off your wings, you're going to need them. Grab your gun, it's gonna be crazy. I can assure you, that you'll miss the safety of yesterday's comforts, of certainty's lie. We're going up, higher than angels. We're gonna fight; we'll win or we'll die. The torrent of oceans, inside we're tornados, tearing down … Continue reading The War For All Time
Rumors of Wars
Strike before the sun has risen and lay the day before you prostrate, like a vanquished foe, or a satiated lover. Be ready, for the next blow comes, not from the front, but from behind. The truth of the New Day Crusader. Conflict is as conflict does and friction keeps the wheels from … Continue reading Rumors of Wars
Breath of A Warning
It's been amazing, a real, good time to set aside differences and talk as equals. Now, I'm not ashamed of who I am and what I've done, because I've let it go and I've moved on. But when I get up to leave from our quiet reverie, you're grabbing my arm, trying to pull … Continue reading Breath of A Warning
Spirals
Every day we struggle through the same old spiral. Trying to be, but not quite finding a way. Get a grip, then it slips on the next stage. It's like chrysalis that doesn't change a thing; we don't gain our wings, we are the same as ever. As if at some crucial moment, we … Continue reading Spirals
Rise and Shine
Rise and shine. Wipe the sleep out of your eyes. Look at me and smile; we're going to be fine. I know that there's a lot of weight waiting and a whole lot of blame for taking. Just the other side of that door, is a game that's not worth playing. There's … Continue reading Rise and Shine
Unusual
Wrapped up in consequences, so concerned with what happens in those small hours, between nine and five. Trapped almost fairly, but they can't assuage the part of you that watches as you die. You used to have wings. Where did they go? All of these things are a weight on your soul. You used … Continue reading Unusual
Sheep Dog
The night comes, deep and cold. Under the brilliant light of the full moon, the flocks in the field glow white. They have finally quieted, after something in the night spooked them. Their bleating I fear will draw the wolves down from the high mountains. For now at least, the cold has them huddled … Continue reading Sheep Dog
Unapologetic
Sometimes, there are no easy ways out. Sometimes, all there is is the war. Attacks that never stop, assaults that never cease; there is no peace for the unapologetic. I’ve fanned the flames of rage and hate and desire, poured a little gas onto the fire and watched as it burned all that I … Continue reading Unapologetic
What’s The Difference?
You said it was something I said. I was just remembering yesterday. You said it was something I did, but I can't remember it either way. Now you screamed and you cried and you tried to convince me. Yeah, you win. You're right, but I don't see the difference. You were in a … Continue reading What’s The Difference?
The Underdog
I am made of big mistakes and a few lucky shots, a few well timed words, a few ill-fated attempts. I am drawn not to greater fortunes; it seems I always select the hard way. The adversarial challenge. The lost cause. The underdog. I’m not in the habit, of good habits, or doing … Continue reading The Underdog
Carpe Diem
Take today. Seize it, pilfer it and steal it away. Don’t let it stray. Trap it and ensnare it, make time your prey. Feed on it, consume it, lest it go to waste. Your time here is but a meager ration. Live it in any fashion you can imagine. Live it how you please. … Continue reading Carpe Diem
Love The Fight
Who do you love? What do you crave? Is your fantasy worth fighting for? Are your dreams worth being saved? Will you rise up and take them back from grave? What price would you pay? Rising before the sun, we lead the march to war. Like the angels proclaim The One, we believe in … Continue reading Love The Fight
Anywhere but Forward
Stuck in neutral, these bloodshot eyes say it all. Severed from energy, caught in starvation's thrall. Rebirth the anti-Christ. Hang and bleed. It don't matter no more. Just an excuse, or alibi away from me to go anywhere but forward. Want to let go, but the nothing is so comforting. If only … Continue reading Anywhere but Forward
Invitation To A Fight
Approaching the expression with no regard for caution slave away for somethin' I don't even need. Calling on you to find me in my brilliant night, for I have been blinded by delight - and never missed them. Hope is like a long forgotten, misbegotten, woman that I kissed, then twisted out of … Continue reading Invitation To A Fight
