Is there anybody out there, who finds it hard like me, To understand computers, each time I press a key?   It asks me silly questions, like would I like to sync? Or would I like to clear my cache? If so, then click the link.   Can anybody tell me, what is a terabyte? Is it something that will bite me? It sounds as though it might.   Every time I go online while waiting to connect. I’m always offered cookies, which I grate...

“I don’t care who you are or where you’ve been. Don’t tell me stories of your spiritual journeys or epiphanies. Screw your aspirations and achievements,” I fume as I scroll endlessly down my cellphone screen. “Just give me the recipe!”

He took a swig of the whiskey, hoping to dull the ache inside.The illusion that he moved on shattered, demolishing all pretenses he built over time. Like an avalanche, her memories flooded his mind and senses with a vengeance that could destroy his sanity.He felt her alive once again, remembering even the taste of her kisses and the throbbing of old wounds she caused. She was his most beautiful mistake.As the sun was ecli...

I have the worst luck Things always happen to me Sometimes life really sucks It's not my fault you see A new infection in my jaw After thousands of dollars spent I must be flawed Teeth problems are frequent Dentist will handle Free of charge It's always a scandal This new infection is large Back on meds Painkillers too The infection did spread Always a lot to go through Things were great For a while Disasters are my fate...

Welcome to the funhouse, a place of dim light, acrid smoke, and twisting mirrors Where truth becomes lies, facts become pointless, hope is an act of desperation, and lies become creeds A place of unconditional love, where people hate you, because they love you, without ever knowing you Where the tolerant among us, are the most intolerant around, open-minded to all the things, they agree with completely In this place of in...

Hidden in a church’s bell tower, I crouched as I aimed my rifle towards a black Audi down below. The target was a man with a dragon tattoo on his arm. I felt the trigger, viewing him through the scope as he alighted. A bullet in the head was all it needed. I saw the tattoo and was about to shoot when my prey smiled and looked straight at me. I recognized the face of the man I once loved as he stood there waiting mockingly...

I can’t settle. My mind’s muddled. Images swirl inside my brain, Merging in a flurry of confusion; Memories, dreams, desires…I can’t focus. Nothing’s clear. My head’s awash with fantasies And I’m sick of them.I need you, Real you, in the flesh.I want physical contact, Something tangible to grasp Instead of insubstantial words Dispatched across the void.I need to hold you close, Rest my head against your shoulder And breat...

By mid-afternoon it was snowing, one of those early spring one-last-time sucker- punch squalls, and as the sun went down, and the streetlights came on the temperature rose a couple degrees and the snow began to mix with freezing rain. This would have been around the rush hour. There were only five people in the Tip Top, two of them playing pool and requiring quarters, but the rest just sitting there, so the bartender had...

On-line life can be so hurtful Words we type on a screen You really need to be so carefulThe words often sound so mean I really need to step backAnd find the will to stay awayI'm tired of the hurtful attacksThis is not the way to pass one's day I'm so tired of hearing about your painYou have given me so muchI'm exhausted and feel much drainI think we can't be each other's crutch I must be a glutton for painWhy do I do thi...

I tried to research sourcesI could find no proof I tried to seek out referencesI guess they all had moved I thought up some trick questionsThey did seem answered right And who says "lie detector test"As a date some night? I wish there were a sure-fire wayTo leach out the truth Instead of just believingWhen you say "I love you."

Unless you hide yourself awayYou’ll likely meet one on most daysYou know the kind - they seem quite niceIf not, then they are harmless types You share a laugh, a latte, lunchOr if online, you talk enoughThat you think this person’s coolAnd you’re no rubeYou’re no one’s fool They share with you their historyYou start to wonder “can it be?”That your new friend, a decent sortCan hate so many friends before?

"Take a walk with me," I sayHolding out my handYour fingers touch and mesh with mineWe head out on the sand Where the water meets the shoreIts grains so cooly packedLeaving pointed footprintsTrailing from our backs You look at me expectantlyAs if I need to talkI see the worry in your faceBelieving something’s wrong Now I start to wonderHow to calm your fearsErase the Ugly SpectreUninvited hereFollowing in our footstepsThi...
