1 Life

One is all we get. One is all we're allowed. One is more than a number. One is the beginning. Sometimes we ask for more than one but we receive no more, only one. We bargain with God to extend our one but the time we get is enough for just one. One is more than we need. One might complete us. One... Sign in to see full entry.

For Me, For You, For Us, For Everyone

I'm just a man with no words to explain the madness of this world. Preaching love, tolerance and understanding means nothing to the insane. The words I write will offer no cure to the wife who has lost her man, or to the mother who will bury her son no words can heal the pain you endure. Their lives... Sign in to see full entry.

DRIPPING

I have this sinking feeling of something that is bleeding. Dripping on the sombre floor. Always dripping: and not much more. It comes without warning on a black day of mourning. Dripping on the dusty floor. Always dripping: and not much more. My eyes turn scarlet red and safety turns to dread as I... Sign in to see full entry.

21st Century Jesus

I was made for miracles, but television has bred doubt. I was made to turn water into wine, but alcoholism destroys lives. I was made to part oceans, but the waters are toxic. I was made to raise the dead, but your faith no longer helps. I was made to heal the sick and the lame, but you don't trust... Sign in to see full entry.

The Way We Are

Arise. Tired. Nightmares last night. Groggy. Shower. Breakfast is tasteless. Anxiety. Rush. Kids are crying. Clothes. Damp. Hang up washing. Go. Go. Running very late. Traffic. Rage. Curse slow drivers. Bye. Farewell. Kids at school. Go. Go. Time to work. Work. Work. Never does stop. Work. Work.... Sign in to see full entry.

Light Up

Sometimes the world doesn’t need a hero, just someone who can speak. Sometimes dark days don’t need light, just someone who can smile. Sometimes anger doesn’t need meditation, just someone who can embrace you. Sometimes hatred doesn’t need calming, just someone close by. Sometimes understanding... Sign in to see full entry.

The Whispering Revolution

Who are these men in seats of power? With rabid ideas and an appetite to devour. Drunk with might and blind with rage: it’s war on the world they wage. How quick innocence is destroyed when guns fire, when its just peace the people require. Oh! Why do they fight with tanks and bombs? It’s the... Sign in to see full entry.

I Fall Apart

On a dirt littered platform, I wait for the train. There’s a chill in the air as it begins to rain. I think I’m okay, but I’m not so sure for the sight of you is my only cure. I fall apart every time you leave but you’ll be back. I have to believe. Our hearts have been apart for too long. I promised... Sign in to see full entry.

Destiny & Fate

A man rushes home for he is already late. He is followed by two angels, Destiny and Fate. He hurries on home before the night and the angels follow, for he is their plight. “Should he make it home?” asks the sinister Fate. Destiny replies, “Why don’t we just follow and wait.” The man calls his wife... Sign in to see full entry.
