A trailhead waits in the moonlight there
as I race down a highway to escape my despair.
I go onward and forward and faster towards
the mountains that will bring me unseen rewards.
The forest glows by the light of the moon,
And an eerie presence prevails as I arrive too soon.
for the journey is what this place is about
the journey to myself where […]
No-one can leave
lonely and bleak
the outlook remains.
the only way to deal
with the isolation and pain),
though pained I am not
(there is no apparent pain).
I barely know of the affliction
though it troubles me still,
the hardships around me
they confine me and
they force me to face
a grim reality:
the reality of this illusion,
and oh god it’s so real!
Lonely and bleak,

Life’s changes come
expected or not
Sometimes we’re prepared
Sometimes we’re in a state of blissful ignorance
Or wistfully ignoring
the inevitable path our actions have led us to.
I fear not the coming end.
The escape from complexity
to clarity
or nothingnesss
Either is the greener grass on the other side
There is this agony inside that uncontrols me,
usurps my will for rational,
usurps my temporal being.
It uncontrols me, without revealing itself
to that being uncontrolled;
it hides itself
from me
it is me
it’s obvious to those around me
but only the closest;
only the few who can be hurt
Sometimes I wish that a moment
just wouldn’t end
It’s the moment when I look at you
and understand
without question you’re my friend
it’s when we laugh together
and challenge to do more
and better things than ever
we had done before
It’s in that moment that I know
you’ll always […]
Few things in life are worth
Living for.
Far more things in life
Are worth
Dying for.
I’m inspired by the impossible,
tempted by the improbable
prompted by the possible
the things that cannot be
I dream of
and take solace in the dreaming,
if not in the inactionable
things that cannot be
the things that may have a chance
should happenstance
have her way
tempt me
into continuing […]
Sleep eludes me
Leaves me to my thoughts
An incessant barrage
Of menacing
Sleep- depriving thoughts
That won’t let this weary body rest
This weary mind
Won’t let me rest
And enter that peaceful state
In which nothing matters
Nothing perturbs
Nothing distracts but dreams
That take me […]
This is not clear
befuddlement drapes across the face
expressing the indignant
confusion
that this technology incites.
We move forward in a world
unclear
of where we will be taken
where we are headed
or how fast we accelerate towards
a forward-thinking
forward-leaning
world
We’ve lost track
of the […]
I walk away from parties
and celebrate alone
life’s travesties indistinguishable
from the pleasures I have known
I’m fraught with understanding
the virtues of this place
but have yet to find a way
to thrive and to save face
but what takes me there I wonder
as I celebrate alone
To where […]
