And the land wept in grief.

For he who loved it most was no more

The land did not flourish nor did it swell like she who would give birth

He was not

If you find me walking
Along some lonesome railroad siding
Or see me sitting
Quiet on my porch
Don't let my numb indifference
Disguise what I'm hiding
I'm still here

Success isn't met without failure
 

but when you give up and you bail
 

that's what distinguishes

those successful from those who fail

expect to stumble here or there

to quit is what makes failure

so terrible 

not to mention unbearable

Let’s dig ourselves a hole

so tall we can’t crawl out.

We’ll sit down at the bottom

and drown in our self doubt

We’ll make an art of misery

as though that were the goal

Let’s get married

and dig ourselves a hole

Let’s dig ourselves a rut

We’ll make it sheer and

The night spoke these conversations higher than bed.
Drink tomorrow from the stars or sleep instead?
The morning prays to these gods for meaning at night.
Dream forever from the soul or sleep in the light?

Life caught you in the mist of a memory cloud.
Silence yesterday in now or

Starting over...
  • The past me dies while a new me is born
  • Reborn too many times to count
  • All in one life time
  • Starting over...
  • Easily said but not done
  • The past me dies
  • But the shadow remains
  • Starting over...
  • A new light a new

    I’m so damned pleased

    that you’ve found

    your personal savior

    It sure must come in handy

    now and then

    Does He do your laundry

    and bundle up the garbage

    and then top it off by

    wiping way your sin

    Does He put out the cat

    I dream of an auburn mist

    that billows from Emerson’s stacks

    choking the sun bruised daisies

    that writhe in agony on their backs.

    -

    Winter is just around the corner

    my ephemeral empathy is dying

    they’ll be dead in a day anyways

    so what’s the point in crying?

    Tell me why

    When I’m with you it just feels right

    Why you are the sight and the feel…

    That makes any place like home

    I hope my heart just died…

    So that heaven’s now somewhere on this side

    Of the eternity I thought was you and me

    But I doubt it

    Why?

    Because love indeed
