I found my soul trapped between the light and the dark A soul meant for the right, but drowning in the wrong A beauty of children squeezed by the evil My very being struggling for breath, while the horrible pinch off my nose, and lie on me to die Such is our world where those … Continue reading Trapped
Author: ramblingsfromanunpavedmind
I embrace an eclectic life, tastes, and friends. I love to listen to people - to induce talking about their past. Sometimes, their voices end up in my writing. For grammar perfectionists, allow me to apologize in advance, as I write for the casual reader, not the professional readers. My passions include my family, music, working in electronics, mechanics, stone, and concrete.
Dear God
Why did you put me here? With all my weakness, all my sins? Why must I suffer so much, so many failures, so many horrible endings? So many others have so much and I have so little! What should I do? I cannot change the hatred and jealousesness of mankind. Why am I here? … Continue reading Dear God
A Lifetime of Measurements
When you come from a world of promises and lies, you want solid ground at some point, you want something, someone, you can trust. You want to believe that you will get something to eat in the next few days, whilst the others dance around you with smiles and full bellies. But, that is not … Continue reading A Lifetime of Measurements
Sol and Isolation
That first light of dawn, cold yet hopeful, I alone with the dawn, cold yet wanting, waiting for that growing brightness, slowly peeking, above all, wanting. Knowing it will be warmer, while I am still wanting. The sun, too, is alone but is the source of all that is living, while I am still wanting, … Continue reading Sol and Isolation
A Soliloquy on Stubborness
This is not a Diatribe as in a forceful or bitter attack on any Stubborn people out there. You do exist, though. Instead, this is a Soliloquoy. A one-sided discussion or opinion. (I don't think I ever understood either a Mule or Donkey as the animal embodiment of Stubbornness. Any horse person will tell you … Continue reading A Soliloquy on Stubborness
Alone with the Night
The Night, Once my friend, Turned away from me, leaving me alone and naked waiting only for the light of day. Was all truly lost, to me? All hope gone as snow in the rape of the Sun? Why should I try to find love, to find life, to breathe? Yet, I stand alone … Continue reading Alone with the Night
Those Vampires of Life
Vast it is, in that dark corner of your mind, the one filled with stark loneliness? That one where you knew you failed again? That same corner you have earned over years of poor choices filled with selfish justifications. Know I await you there, for I am you. You, without your glimmer, without golden charms, without lovely … Continue reading Those Vampires of Life
An Opinion on Passions
Hi, I learned something that might help a few of you. A very intelligent friend educated me.... I was actually depressed about the emotional charge and deep division in this country. What had caused it? Changing topics, just for a couple of analogies. I love Stevie Ray Vaughn. Others of you may love Eric Clapton. … Continue reading An Opinion on Passions
After I Die

Harmonious Apathy
I had this dream. A dream of soft and warm ocean breezes. The surf and waves making the most delightful lapping sound, the breezes rustling my hair. I dreamed everyone loved everyone, embraced their brownness, blondeness, their differences. We had the same religion surrounding Lotus Flowers. We all had the same music and language. … Continue reading Harmonious Apathy
