The sun is shining, birds are chirping And there is a gentle breeze, Overall it is a beautiful day, However I am surrounded in darkness Feeling scared, unsure and very alone. Going through the motions of daily life As I plan for a future event That even the best outcome will be bad, As it will keep me from those I hold dearest. Tears running down my face As I write this thinking of my friends Realizing how my mood swings ...

Stormy weather. Nice to be out in. There’s a cyclone on the horizon and it looks pretty. I don’t know why, but I have this strange compulsion to look directly at it. It’s taking houses, trees, everything with it, but I just can’t leave my house to escape it. Something has happened. What’s going on here? Where am I? Wait... I’m inside the cyclone? Really? It’s a funny thing that seems to have happened. One minute I’m stand...

She sits on the cold tile floor of the bathroom, naked and alone. She has been betrayed and abandoned, lost and confused. She has tried to climb her way back, to fight through the tears. She is no longer strong enough, no longer whole enough. She is too tired and too disenchanted. The razor glides across her wrist in a swift motion, the blood bubbling in its trail, dripping to the floor. For that one brief moment she felt...

You tell me these things I don't understandThey boggle my mind and make my soul smileTo think that someone like youWould see someone like meAnd see what you say you see. You tell me I'm Cute...I see my own chubby cheeksMy typically pale complexion...You say I'm Funny...I hear only my old desire to be truly acceptedMy own trepidation at letting others inYou call me Kind...I only see an outcastWho knows true cruelty...You p...

Today I sit here watching the rainfall the soft pitta patta of the raindrops hitting the ground, match the tearsthat run down my face. Remembering the moments we shared that made me feel so special the softly whispered words the gentle kisses and hugs you gave, when you sensed I was feeling nervous which made me feel so safe. Now I sit here trying to make sense of what went wrong How we could be  so close one dayand just...

A three foot ring of crystal plants were illuminated around us. If any Solarites were around, we would have been spotted almost immediately. The thought made me shiver, but I highly doubted there would be any lurking about. I pause and reconsidered that last thought. They may not be out here, but the guy who set off the explosives in the mine most certainly could be. I strained my eyes, trying to see past the darkness jus...

Confused I am at times.Putting together rhymes. How do others view me?Do they see the real me? Can they truly visualize?Do they merely fantasize? Can another really feel?My thoughts with zeal. Do they see just a scam?Do they see an old man? Can they feel the actual me?Or only who they wish I be?

I want youMore than any man has everIn any form I can have youWhether I have to wilt awayAnd slither back to where it is I came fromI need youMore than the deserts wish for rainTo supplicate the fields Which used to hold so much promiseHow dry they remain Waiting patiently to be blessedBy the tears of a maidenWho knows no boundariesAnd washes away the sadnessOf one lowly travelerHe writes across life's pagesScrawled penma...

What did you see when you looked at meThe woman who gave her heart, so young and carefreeThe woman who you claimed with a ring of diamonds and goldDo you see the woman you promised to love, honor, and holdYour words were sharp they cut like a knifeI dont know why I ever made you my wifeThe tears they fell like unending rainHow could you have left me in this kind of painWhat did I do, why did your love grow coldYou made me...

I search for something but am blinded by the reflective haze of life’s superficialityTrying to unshackle myself of fear I had hoped to reach Nirvana with unconstrained honest spiritualitySeeking contentment yet it teases and slips beyond my grasp and eludes me infuriatinglyI want to accept the pastas a lesson, uproot the emotional weeds yet they cling vine like and seem like such an integral part of meThe intangible truth...

Some are short Some are long Some turn left Some turn right Some lead up a hillSome lead down Some appear bright Some appear dark Some lead straight throughSome lead to dead ends Some must be back trackedSome must be re-traveled Some take us where we desire to beSome take us places earlier been Some guide through a mazeSome guide round in circles Some lead to another junctionSome lead to only confusion Some meant not to b...

You want to know the real reason why sleeping with your friends is a very bad idea? I learned that lesson the hard way back four years ago when I hooked up with Billy. We started out as friends back in high school until we lost contact with one another. With the advent of social networking sites MySpace and Facebook, it was really easy for us to find each other. I really enjoyed talking to him during a time of turmoil for...
