Sometimes, I find myself envious of the lifestyle of a dog. I cannot help but think, it would be nice to be a dog, with a kind owner or family. I only hope, that they would spoil me, feed me people food more than they should. But maybe that is asking too much, even if … Continue reading Sometimes I am Envious of Dogs (a poem)

Argnierre’s Lament (a song, 2021)
Argnierre's Lament (a song) Yon summer hills ‘round which stand our golden grasses, They twirl, they fall, and lie still upon the ground. The wind she howls the blades down into the valley, She cuts across the waves like a storm on the sea. ~ Their flags were flown all snapping around in the thunder, … Continue reading Argnierre’s Lament (a song, 2021)

The Daemon (a poem)
The Daemon (a poem) A time ago I asked myself a question, knowing not where it led. See, I have lived my life a sinning man, I have learned that sinners can see through others, and sometimes see themselves staring back.

The Shell (a poem, 2022)
The Shell (a poem) Beneath the smile, the laugh, the jest, the kindness, the comradery, the humility, the generosity... the understanding... the hopefulness… ~ There was a lone voice screaming for reprieve. There was a lone voice screaming to be heard. There was a lone voice screaming for the end. ~ There the voice screamed, … Continue reading The Shell (a poem, 2022)
“Tell me of Life” (a musing, 2017)
Life is a transitory thing, reaching the finish nearly as it begins. It scarcely frustrates its pace enough, it cannot appreciate the beauty, horror, or intrigue— these that churn to being in the wake of its steps. Yet as it bounds forward, the lights that gather into flame, rather than shine with persevering luster, … Continue reading “Tell me of Life” (a musing, 2017)
Freedom (a poem, 2020)
Freedom (a poem) I consume, The substance consumes me. A life less painful than my own… The sensation alone, Addiction itself. I become someone else, Other than myself. I have this choice, It is simple and free of pain, Yet I know nothing is truly painless. This life unlike my own, This experience unlike my … Continue reading Freedom (a poem, 2020)

Losing (a poem) This old, tired crisis. Staring in the face, The death of a necessary part of me. As the light leaves the eyes, The feelings slip through my hands. I fall out of love, This old, tired decision. Kill the rest of the tiny, innocent emotions, Bury them away. This world spares no … Continue reading Losing (a poem)
