You are my raw deal. You bump me out of your verification process like a bot yet again til nostalgia bites. I remember diaries with pen and ink. A stable story. Like a tangled web you leave me gridlocked at the gate. I cannot shoot you down or copy your skin on a typewriter. My … Continue reading I am not a Bot

Vertigo
My shifting gaze sends staccato images of Cubist paintings looking for a home. Your poisoned laughter greets me. Poison of my balance you taint each twist and turn. You laugh as you scrub my eyelids with your tune and cause my body to dance to your sadistic beat. Remove me from your playlist and if … Continue reading Vertigo
The Lighthorseman
Through overcast skies I hear the bugle call. Quiet spaces. Speeches shared under a grey backdrop. You gaze forward, you gaze down. You listen and reflect. Intrigued at the courage of old.

I ramble on with mystic musings considering a long lost view. Long lost. Powerless is what you have become. Not negative in thought but resigned in … Continue reading Pen of Inspiration
Direct Poetic Mindfulness

I put two sentences into a direct frame, poetic frame, and a mindfulness frame. It was quite interesting to attempt the different voices. DIRECT I'm bored. Sun's out. Don't feel like doing … Continue reading Direct Poetic Mindfulness
Lamp of Your Creation
You were hiding, looking, scoping. Dipping your toe into the water with uncertainty. Looking for answers without understanding the question. You listened to the piper as he shared pipe dreams. Come poet, come writer, artist and songster. Embrace the lamp of your own creation. (You started out unsure how to go about doing things. You … Continue reading Lamp of Your Creation
