It kind of sucks when...
you try to open up to someone and tell them just how important they are to you, and all you get back is a perfunctory answer that seems mildly insincere. It’s just disappointing.

Sweetly Creeping
Splayed out on cement, the warmth of life seeping, eyes full of pity watch Death come sweetly creeping. He couldn’t move. I couldn’t breath. He wouldn’t die. I wouldn’t grieve.
Wisdom and exhaustion steal away the fight. Sleep summons Dreams, Death brings the Night.
He wouldn’t move. I wouldn’t breathe. He started to die. I started to grieve.

As a matter of fact… I am.
Whenever I do something that I regret after the fact, or that makes me nervous because of how badly it might end, I remind myself of one thing: If I’m not taking risks, if I’m not making mistakes, I’m not living.

“I was told some years ago that the reason why some species of sea turtles migrate all the way across the South Atlantic to lay their eggs on the east coast of South America after mating on the west coast of Africa is that when the behavior started, Gondwanaland was just beginning to break apart (that would be between 130 and 110 million years ago), and these turtles...
What We Are
What are you? I am Christian. I am Muslim. I am Buddhist. I am Atheist. What are you? I am American. I am Russian. I am Iranian. I am Chinese.
What are you? I am white. I am black. I am Hispanic. I am Asian.
What are you? I am a friend. I am a lover. I am a brother. I am a human being. What am I? In another place, In another time, In another set of circumstances,
I am you.

Lost
We got lost. We got lost in the world. Then it changed and we had no way back. Onward.
Following the sun to the horizon, the wind revealing her secrets. But we didn’t listen, so secrets they stayed. Onward.
We tore it down. We built it up again, discovering all the little truths, fools finding wisdom. Onward.
We left a trail of discarded troubles, unwinding the coiled despair of our...
Solitary Vigil
The noxious breath of horse power, The caustic stench of human creation, Combusted breakdown of ancient beasts, Sinking wicked death into all things. The earth bleeds soft on a marigold sky, The horizon undone by a great desire, Sharp ambition of blinded minds, Searching for the end, never seeing it coming.
The moon marches ever onward, The shattered face of a silent guardian, Powerless...

I had to describe a person to someone the other day, and did so incomprehensibly. God forbid I was ever required to speak with a sketch artist. I basically devolved into hand movements and facial expressions resembling what I can only assume looked like an anime. Which made me...
