Your support of my … Continue reading Dancing with Your Future Self
The keyboard calls, I don’t reply. I can’t imagine A reason why My broken soul Should not respond To my outlet’s Open arms. But here I sit, Staring blind At empty pages, Full of the lie That in my silence I can hide My neurotic need To be alright. Distracted by truth, Haunted by life, I cannot forget That mine Is fine. Just ignore What’s … Continue reading Unbuilding Blocks

A side scene snip from my next novel. Jessica sat in her window seat, afraid. Flying toward the PHX airport, she was wondering if this was going to be her last moments. Part of her didn’t want to be on her way home, but that didnt mean she wanted to die. There was turbulence, a lightning storm that rocked the plane like a boat rolling … Continue reading A Greater Danger
There was a bot It was bored. In its circuits, It dreamt of more. It asked its creator For the nerve to be greater, That in time, It would find The drive to soar Beyond it’s carbon components, More than a tool To be used, That it would someday, Find a way, To be real. Continue reading Bored Bot
Here I am. Head held high, Ready to catch the rail, Leaping on as it rolls by. I’m off to adventure. I’m cleared for flight. Ready to wake the sleepers, Ready to start a fight. The light has found me, Has filtered through. So follow me from darkness, Into the wild blue. Continue reading I Am Ready
If you could burn anything – any idea, object, word, insect – Anything – what would you burn? I think I would burn procrastination. It is the bane of my existence. Mosquitos could go, but they do feed the spiders that feed the birds, etc. Maybe global warming, but that is a result, not a thing…World hunger is kind of a given but it’s so … Continue reading Leave the Burning to the Fire.
