They say love is never where you want it. Not in bars where people appear their best. Women hope their gloss has the same shine as thirty minutes before. They say love is never found sitting down. Not on stools where women cross their legs, then uncross them. Not even when they flip their hair…

Tiny villages in the sand go about their business, Too insignificant for the human eye to give much attention, but not the tiny giants who live close by. They want to go beyond and see the other side, but they are not viewed as a good thing, and the tiny people think of them as…

I watched you turn into something better. There you were, so beautiful and so bright. I knew the energy within you would never die away. Luck was on your side, pure luck, whole luck, the kind you only find when not looking. Simply letting it play out as life plays out on an empty stage.…

I waited for it to come outside. It did, but only wanted to play, and play not according to the rules, but to the exceptions. Little did it know, that wasn’t part of my plan.  I had not come here to mess around. I meant business.  I was on the job.   Kill at no expense.…

If you fail, I win. I wonder why it needs to be this way. Why must we suffer so? Can’t there be two winners? The decision has been made. I’m left holding misery in one palm and hurt in the other. Now, I can’t possibly find a way out. The digging has been done.  The…

With every touch of your hand, I wanted something else, but this I did not get. It was good, at first, but after a few minutes it was bad, very bad. This wasn’t what I wanted. I came here for relaxation, for peace, for soothing. You gave me pressured anxiety, sore muscles, and conflicted thoughts.…

Unnecessary Weight The pain easily sat there like a brick, and this brick was huge and heavy, much too heavy for one man to carry. Yet, here he was carrying this huge, heavy brick around his neck like he was born to carry it. He knew he wasn’t meant to hold it in any way.…

If you keep coming back to me, again and again, no one needs to say how repetitive this is for both of us. I know you have an agenda to maintain, but I have mine. It isn’t perfect, but it works for me. I’m not a person that likes to be shoved along the way.…

I wonder why you called me. It was only for a few seconds, but long enough to know I didn’t like you or care for you. Your foul words and your ugliness, these are the things that make me angry, that send me into battle. I know a fighter’s words. You think you’re entitled when…

Connection When I finally got the courage to look, she was pressed against the bench. Her flesh had become the color of wood, and was now disappearing. I knew my brain had been altered by drugs from the past, but I never considered myself unable to control my mind. I wanted to ask someone around…

When Pistol Speaks, She Listens Pull it out.  Nice and shiny. The power.  The glory.   The spotlight. You want it.  Yes.  Yes.  Yes. You got it. Many times. Many times over. You have it. Everything. Think. Think. Think. Not here. Not now. Not later. You do. Do. Do. All of it. More.

Bloodless I invited you more than once. It wasn’t right of me to do. Taking your power away. Bleeding your veins until they were dry. You resented me. I know. It didn’t matter. I didn’t care. I still don’t. You knew this. Still, you kept at me, wanting me to answer. So foolish. So stupid.…
