Back in my own boots. Not looking is what allows me to see. No more getting twisted up in the roots. No more trying to create waves when there’s no wind. Either it’s captured, or it dies. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. No place to go, no place to see. Almost 28 years, and it’s […]
It’s been a while. Stay a while. Let me tell you about the daggers hanging, handles spinning; blades heavy, and ready to fall. I knew they were there. I could hear them calling me. “Don’t look up,” I thought. Daggers in the ceiling. False ideals; misguided chases. Sharp truths, of every kind. …Don’t look up. […]
I fear you’ll be lost forever. I fear we’ll never get that magic back. I fear that time is running out. I fear feeling like we had our masterpiece stolen from us. I fear we’ll never have another chance. I fear you’re too blind for that, now. This fear arises as the blockages are removed. […]
There’s something this world seems to be running away from. And we do this by pretending. By pretending and hoping there’s something more, than this.

Who, are you? And why, do you speak to me? Are you trying to guide me? Why do I feel such a wave of reassurance in your presence? I know what you look like. I know your essence. You’re shrouded in dark, with a grin reserved only for me. I can’t recall the first time […]
The blindfold goes on. And now I can see, what I had lost that night. Not seeing it, but recalling its scent. I was fallen. Beautifully so. I had tumbled into a stark reality. Tasting life, in all its glory. Remembering you, through your sacrifice, and blood. I can only recall. — I, will, now, […]
In the thick of it. Why does a human being seek? Is finding the losing of oneself? She said sudden understanding is in the revelation of not understanding. She said, from “her tomb”, that when she’s not writing, she’s dead. These words were spoken from the grave. I know the feeling all too well. And […]
It’s lateAnd I’m still seekingThe keysDelicately disarming, a time bombSeeing that which needs to be seenBefore a wheel starts spinningAnd whisks me awayBefore the marbles start rollingIn every directionNothing’s as it seemsThis I knowAnd I’m terrifiedOf what’s leftLurking belowThe fog
