This is forgiveness, such is this bliss. Exposed to the sands and the deeds of my hands. Walked up and down the line with a mind to dig it under, 'til it came upon my mind and I was set afire with wonder. If it is to be, then let it be in me, … Continue reading Subtlety

“The Malcontent” Collection – Concluded
Well folks, I think that wraps up "The Malcontent" collection. Spoiler Alert! - I survived! As you can see, if you have followed to the final piece, it was a return to faith in the spiritual that led me out of the dark place that I was in. This is of course, very common … Continue reading “The Malcontent” Collection – Concluded
That Moment of Supplication
Jesus handed me the bread and said, "This is my Body." Jesus handed me the wine and smiled, "This is my Blood" and then He passed me a new promise, said He loved us all so much. Tempted - He denied the enemy, then He was crucified for me and suffered like no other, … Continue reading That Moment of Supplication
Spiritual Warfare
You know it ain't right, standing on top our your life, looking down on yourself and everyone else. Living on borrowed time and sacred promises, that all that's left is what you can eat, burn and fuck. Ignoring all the signs that you've sold your soul, as that need to feed consumes you whole. … Continue reading Spiritual Warfare
Dumbfight
We're so small sometimes, trying to defend ourselves from some threat perceived that really isn't there. Striking out with venom tongues, knife in the back sarcasm, being angry just makes us act so dumb - so numb. Has the world so taught us fear, we would the ones we love? Can't tell our enemies … Continue reading Dumbfight
Rain Rolls Down
She's not alright tonight, the passion's gone and she's burned out. Gave up the right to fight and she's blaming Him for how it turned out. 'Cause when the party's over and the moment's just a memory, when the sun has set, she feels so alone. She can't forgive herself, so how could He? … Continue reading Rain Rolls Down
Warm
I've been finding comfort in the unseen. All that it asks of me is that I believe. A single wreck disabled all the night. Swept right off the table of my life. Don't got no problem, no-no-no more, singing with grace in my heart I poured, out. Putting despair away, not fair today. … Continue reading Warm
Slumber Crawl
Fall is slowing to a crawl. I'm moaning prayers and confessions. Ongoing, a given direction. So, now I'm disarmed, stripped of my barbs, relieved of my scars. Holding high and lowly, with a love so holy. I've been all we are. Could be - but it never is, what we let ourselves … Continue reading Slumber Crawl
Untitled Short
Running with a blank mind. Selling it all for ash. Burning it all away. HG - 2000-2005
Fed-Up-Shit-Song
Singing a song and I will let it linger. For so long, I have hated whole the hunger. Led an open mind to a closed door - forcing the breach. Draining my mind more - experience the leech. Bonded and bitter, forsaking and taking. Done more that I thought I could to be mistaken. … Continue reading Fed-Up-Shit-Song
Finished?
Seeing just a little more, since morning, now I realize, or think that I at least have opened my eyes. Letting go of all I've known, time to see how much I've grown; to the edge and beyond, the right and the wrong. Here lies true beauty, in this wide eyed girl, in awe … Continue reading Finished?
Just a Minute
Oh shit! It seems I've had a moment too long, had a second for reflection, now it all seems wrong. Must not have been right, if I'm sitting down to right this song, instead of heading down the road searching for the coming dawn. These expectations are constantly turned on their heads and I … Continue reading Just a Minute
A Comment on “The Weaklings” & “The Joy of Separation”
These two pieces represent a turning point and what I feel is "the climax" of "The Malcontent". A point of revelation and loss of inhibition and restraint. No longer tied to relationships, addiction, expectation and past traumas, finding freedom to move on. I think these pieces depict a change in mindset, where I was finally able to distance myself … Continue reading A Comment on “The Weaklings” & “The Joy of Separation”
The Joy of Separation
Peaceful slumber comes, like death, or a sedated nod; when done severing, one sees everything. Dropped out to be a part, alone and at home in the dark, cursed to finish what you start. So this newfound heart, becomes the fire that burns, the mind that yearns to cut that nerve... … Continue reading The Joy of Separation
The Weaklings
Grasping at straws, panicking now with the need to float away, or start a fire. One look confuses with all the bewilderment a fool can muster. They are so near to heaven, these lost souls that brush and glide against each other, 'til so often friction gets their better and they burst into … Continue reading The Weaklings
A Memory of Something Stolen
I think that I remember, time before; something more like an old lover in the sky. Leaning over to the point of falling and I know there's nothing wrong with letting her take me down. Where I come from there is very little precious left. Going to grey, stole away, such a gorgeous theft. … Continue reading A Memory of Something Stolen
Smiley
A great commotion, passionate and often violent; the way things go around here almost every time. And it's no big surprise to see the apathy inside so many that I see and even in my own life. There might as well be not tomorrow, if I can't find a way through today. There's so … Continue reading Smiley
200 Posts!
I knew I had a fair amount of material, but 200 pieces... that's a lot! I am humbled beyond measure to see so many people taking a look at my work and the feedback that I have been receiving has been very gratifying. I won't say that I have any altruistic reasons for writing, I have no … Continue reading 200 Posts!
Revenant
Came a time when I couldn't lie no more, as this shell became my hell, but still I cried for more. Fearing love and loathing I knew life had in store and in myself the shadow lies hallowed and hollow; not all - but enough to exist. Like the love - like the blood and … Continue reading Revenant
Redundant Life
Dropped out - Ground down So proud - Now loud unbound. I've come - Gone long - Singles suffer. Now one from none and no other. Building bridges just to burn, afraid you'll have to wait your turn, because it takes time to fuck it up right. Holy and heathen - feeding the … Continue reading Redundant Life
