Indecision
paces at the foot of your bed
wearing a sleek gray suit.
His eyes welling and chest heavy.
He explains the fork in the road,
endlessly passionate

They sit anxiously as
Desperation's shaky

fill them with disquiet.
The air silent.
You take a breath in
But there's no right answer.
No perfect choice to make.
So you make none and remain uncertain
as the room waits.

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 for the outside observer it isn’t always apparent.
