  • Current Pain, Future Blessings

    Monday, March 17, 2008

     
    Someone puts out a lit cigarette on my retina.  Alien strobe lights attack with guided-missile accuracy. Laser beams hold my gaze. No gentle, comforting looks that sustain the prayer that pain is temporary. Only searing brightness that pushes beyond where sight originates from.
    I am a hobo being kicked upside the head in a fight over my cardboard box. Weekly I am tossed out of my body, ...

  • a long day!!!!!!!

    Saturday, March 29, 2008

     a long day!!!
    a long day of misery,
    a long day of pain,
    a long day of heartache,
    things will never be the same,
    a long day of questions,
    a long day with no answers,
    a long day of whatevers,
    damn i ran out of chances,
    a long day trying to make things right,
    a long day trying to get through,
    a long day trying to make things better,
    trying to work out what the hell to do,
    a long day thinking things over,
    a ...

  • For Christine

    Saturday, March 29, 2008

    Cold and hungry,
    sleeping is hard.
    Your earthly shelter,
    just an old car.
    Little money for food,
    and few clothes to wear.
    Many a heartache,
    and burdens to bear.
    With the voice of an angel,
    you sing a sweet song.
    Through the darkest of nights,
    and days that are long.
    On your face is a smile,
    in your eyes I saw pain.
    Feelings of lonliness,
    heartache and strain.
    I can't be much help,
    but I'm glad that we me...

  • "Dress Up"

    Saturday, April 19, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Dress Up
    Purgatory;
    a musty closet with 
    the stale scent of cedar chips
    at the bottom.
    The scents of a home that remind you -
    this is a family of four now. 
    A fractured fraction that  tears your world apart.
    A coat is hanging,
    Daddy's coat,
    still many sizes too big.
    Tan corduroy
    but layered like a quilt parade.
    The warmth of a lifetime,
    with leather-covered wooden buttons
    bobbling against lo...

  • chapter 1

    Sunday, May 11, 2008

    Chapter 1 
    Waking up in a different room wasn't anything new. I had been drinking way too much once again, now I had to find my way home like normal. My parents would guess that I wouldn’t be home last night. 
    So as I stumble out of the unknown house, I wondered where the hell I was and what had happen last night. I was still a virgin as far as I could tell. I sort of walk, sort...

  • Feelings run wild *an update to it*

    Friday, December 26, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Feelings run wild  
    When feelings run wild.....
    When people feel the need to run.
    When life turns upside down.
    We just wanna run, run, run.
    Our body's take over and tell us to pack,
    Our feelings are no longer,
    We pack, pack, pack.
    I just wanna feel loved & welcomed,
    I just wanna be me, me, me.
    I need to know I am loved today and always by the & me.
    If you tell me to leave then I will.
    I don&...

  • On my way to the  Children's Garden, I crossed a little bridge besides a wooded pond.
    It was very peaceful there. 
    As I walked through the garden I spotted some pretty little butterflie's and I started trying to get some pictures of them. I managed to catch this one atop a flower.
    This garden had many lovley flowers, but I found this one especially interesting so I took it's pi...

  • I love to go to the zoo...

    Sunday, August 23, 2009

    One of the most enjoyable day trips I love to take is to grab my digital camera
    and go to the zoo.  These pictures I took over this past weekend at the
    Point Defiance Zoo.
    Imagine my surprise when I looked at the photo and saw what I
    snapped. I just love this picture.
    Another great picture that happened by accident. I love the expression
    of the girl looking at this moon jelly fish.
    The Octopus wa...
