My father’s shed has remained much the way he left it 7 years ago. Sure we’ve rearranged things, discarded some items, added others and overall tidied up in the meantime but the basic layout is as Papa designed it; everything in it’s place and a place for everything. Now where those places are and whatContinue reading “Vito’s Shed”

Chapter New
So it seems that the insanity of youth is never fully squelched, only momentarily silenced amidst the deafening tones of adulthood. It seems that the roar of our most vulnerable years can become a rally cry for the 2nd coming of our spirit. Our souls are not bound by contract to follow lock-step the callContinue reading “Chapter New”
Lament for the lost smile
Oh where have you gone, Smilemaker? Once so clear and residing so near And now stricken completely from sight. Where did it go wrong, Smilemaker? Was the formula diluted, the chemistry polluted Or has the magic been poisoned away. Where do I go now, Smilemaker? My smiles are gone, conclusions been drawn And I’ve beenContinue reading “Lament for the lost smile”
Delusional Intoxicant Fit- Part 3 “Fell in love with an stripper”
So incendiary and decadent. Forlorn fruit. Surrendered temptation and sullied decency. Backsliding into adolescence when idealistic intentions reigned supreme and the rain superseded the thunder and lightning superficially ceded inelegantly against the criminally abused barn door of brilliance that suspends our disbelief only long enough to slap us squarely across the face of our fadingContinue reading “Delusional Intoxicant Fit- Part 3 “Fell in love with an stripper””
Perspective
Tonight I sat in the stands of Jack White Stadium and watched a team from the myspace-text-message generation play their hearts out. There on the sideline stood a familiar yet much older coach hunched over and moving slightly slower than I remember. His notorious “ear fro” had become a much more stately gray. Late inContinue reading “Perspective”
On the Breath of Summer
There in the radiance of the retreating solstice sun she suddenly appeared An apparition of elegance or a taunting specter of discontent? A dogged reminder of persistent failures and unquenchable thirst. Yet another oasis in this desert of metaphors. Backlit by illuminance and shining like an angel in the afterimage The light carressing her gentleContinue reading “On the Breath of Summer”
Introducing…Karuna
One last glimpse at what is not mine and I am granted peace. A potential point of paranoia provided glorious closure. The chapter can now be closed, the story has come full circle. In the end I couldn’t kill the love. It couldn’t be surgically removed without killing myself. There is no way to replaceContinue reading “Introducing…Karuna”
Wither Without You
Digitally demastered with apologies to Mr. Hewson Feel the stone hit your side Feel the porn twist in your mind I rape for you Light of sand and fist of rage A bloody mess pressed on the page And I rape for you Wither without you Wither without you Threw the stone, breached the dawnContinue reading “Wither Without You”
The Paper Man
I am a paper man. Written on, rejected and recycled I carry only weight of pen strokes Invisible intent they promise I am vulnerable to the wind Slave to the currents Flammable Blown about tossed aside ashes scattered Unwanted love is a disease A curse of the mind Unable to shake the feeling And aContinue reading “The Paper Man”
The Death of Prem
Over time of being starved, suffocated and neglected even the strongest among us will succumb. The passing is far less gracious then the birth as it often is in life. Where once the earth shifted from its axis in a moment of unified bliss so to will it shake upon the languishing of Adrogha Prem.Continue reading “The Death of Prem”
