A simple crisp night, flowing with ease
Laughter, liquor, and good times
Bass pounding and shaking the foundation
Living life to its fullest measure of possibilities
The darkness settles into my bloodstream
Like the swift motion of satan sweeping into human life
The shadows begin to overrule my control
NOT TOADY SATAN
as I sit there in a numb stupor
My body is in a trance
Hollow in a shell, yet, you can hear the faint drumming of existence
Flesh
Sweet, soft, vulnerable
Creeping claws delve into the pure cotto
NOT TODAY SATAN
Leaving imprints not seen by the naked eye
You would need a microscope to seek it remains
Rendering you useless and cuffed to regrets
Clinging on as if time could halt this notion
tainted...
What was once simple is now cursed
Now the smallest particles roam the surface, internally menacing
NOT TODAY
Haunting the mind on repeat like the constant waves crashing on the gray sand
time...
Can repair or destroy, by taking a chance with probability itself
Does it heal wounds? Or does it brand the memory into the innocent?
NO
Forever recovering from what was simple
To be never ending scars of a tragic fatality
Goodbye

Lifting the Curtain to a Successful Month
April has been a fantastic month for me in terms of writing endeavors. I’d like to share what’s been so great about it just as many other writers would do. Share successes. I’ve noticed other writers or artists have shared successes and when you just see the snippet of their success, it appears everything has been going right for them all along. But we haven’t seen behind the curtain, we haven’t seen their hard work and their failures and those months that were fraught with disappointment. In everyone’s case, it’s far from the truth. But for the outside observer it isn’t always apparent.
