Eulogy to my Mind

I’ll miss you. Yes, I will. I know we never got on. We fought. We disagreed. But I’ll miss you all the same. Good-bye to an old friend. I’ll miss your conversation, and inner voice. Gone are your pearls of wisdom. Sorry I didn’t say I love you. I truly did. I’m sorry you slipped away while I slept... Sign in to see full entry.

The Lake

And from the lake it came with yellowy eyes and left leg lame. It hobbled onto the stony shore covered in debris, stinking and raw. Not far away, under a starry night a fire blazes with warmth and light. Young lover’s kissed and fondled where they sat: their fate unknown, poor Jill and Matt. From... Sign in to see full entry.

My Shell and I

This is me, and I'm fading away to a place with no air. A once solid soul so sure of life has gone to a place of no-where. "He's gone! He's gone!" I hear them say, and I raise my lips in a smile. "Vanished," they say, "like a midnight ghost." Guess I was only meant to stay awhile. I've left behind... Sign in to see full entry.

The Human Mind

This is the last in a trilogy of our existence: to document the mind that won’t break under resistance. The human mind, complex and gallant in its source of eternal human talent. Still mysterious after all these years, it’s capable of anything, and calming our fears. The human mind so unique and... Sign in to see full entry.

The Human Spirit

Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! Speak in your loudest voice because it’s time to give praise to the human spirit and its eternal days. It shall never be defeated or grow older but it will triumph and get bolder. No one shall destroy all that we are for it’s our spirit that will take us to the nearest... Sign in to see full entry.

The Human Heart

What is this machine that never stops? That is in no way fake and uses no props. This little machine works day and night but it’s more than that; it’s the reason we fight. The human heart beats inside every chest not questioning its function, but doing its best. It does a whole lot more than just... Sign in to see full entry.

The Poison in the Mirror

Upon the hour I stand to see the unfamiliar face that is me. The skin has faded; each story a line each line a story that is only mine. The shine in the eyes has slowly faded; dulled by reality and hopes turned jaded. I smile to bring light into such a harsh face but it doesn't work, it doesn't take... Sign in to see full entry.

Come To My Window

Come to my window and peek inside for what you’ll see is a crying bride. Dressed in white, her face is veiled. She is lost because love has failed. Come to my window and peek inside for what you’ll see happens worldwide. A lonely boy poised with a gun Bang! A mother loses her son. Come to my window... Sign in to see full entry.

No Title

I am human. What does that mean? That you are like me and I am somewhere between. I am human. It's a strange thing to say. Our hearts are the same but our differences will always us betray. "I am human." Say it with me, say it again. What are these things, these emotions that have caused nothing but... Sign in to see full entry.

A Simple Seduction

It’s 4 a.m. and I’m outside your door, shivering with cold but I’ve done this before. Countless times: too many to mention. I don’t know why, it’s beyond comprehension. But you came to the door and said hello. My heart dropped to the floor below. “Hi,” I said, my mind at a stand still. “Come in,”... Sign in to see full entry.
