I embrace an eclectic life, tastes, and friends. I love to listen to people - to induce speaking of their past. Sometimes, their voices end in my writing. For grammar perfectionists, allow me to apologize in advance, as I write for the casual reader, not the professional. My passions include my family, music, working in electronics, mechanics, stone, and concrete. Better to know a little bit about everything than everything about one thing. Quote from Pascal.

JUNIOR’s BLIND DATE (for halloween)

You know, Officer Wenton, since last night when you handcuffed me and threw me into that patrol car and then slammed me into this little room, you have asked the same questions. I keep repeating the same story... Don't I get a Lawyer? So, you are not charging me with any crime? OK! OK! I'll … Continue reading JUNIOR’s BLIND DATE (for halloween) →

Frosty Vanessa (for Halloween)

Schnick! The steel pick danced on the rocks again, and a few sparks leapt from the white granite to die quickly in the cold autumn air. Torrence could see Ice crystals left on the pointed destructive instrument, as the northern wind came whistling through the Aspen trees further up the slope. "Got to get deeper. … Continue reading Frosty Vanessa (for Halloween) →

Self

Arrogance has its own selfish reward. One of self. Ignoring all other truths. When you know you are the only right one, pause, look in the mirror for the childish one reflected there. Please know all the historical bullies did the same but escaped the reflection shown. Proud you are. Bully, you are.

The Young Heart

And, the young heart we were born with labored with the lies and weights of the ages. The young heart is still there but covered with the dust and dirt of the years. It longs to be young again, but every day is covered by more and more. Should it give up and let the … Continue reading The Young Heart →

Coo

I see, I hear, I breathe, music is my lover, my partner, while the birds and bees fill me and make me wonder, my aaaaah is life. A baby cooing, dribbling, legs and arms pumping without a plan. Did you smile? I bet you did. Enjoy, live, hug, sing. Simple. Follow nature, Not the selfish … Continue reading Coo →

Accepting

While I live, I am not always loved. While someone hears me, they do not always understand me. While I feel, Others will not accept my emotions. Still, I breathe and hope for love, understanding, and clarity. As a human, I reserve the right to be wrong from time to time. Yet, still, I hope … Continue reading Accepting →

Left of Venus

Just a touch left of Venus, whilst my fingers trace the moon, and my breath shows as vapor, while I sits all alone, I remember your smile that wrapped me, in a warmth all its own, but now I look left of Venus, while I sits all alone.

Just 30 seconds God

I hope God gives me 30 seconds before my last breath to remember.I want to taste again that first chocolate Sunday with dribbles on my chin, my taste buds blowing bubbles at me.I want to hear anew that first AM radio blues tune with Ray Charles dragging on one note, forever, "I want to know".I … Continue reading Just 30 seconds God →

Musings of a lonely Heart

I saw your eyes from your face across the room as they rested on mine. Yours, so brown and bold and cold, mine not used to being seen. I drop my stare to my mostly empty glass, while we both heard the dying strains of the soft duo strumming. Do others know of my blood … Continue reading Musings of a lonely Heart →

Forward

I saw myself, I heard my voice, but then I listened to you. Do you know the way? Right now?'Cause, I can sit right here, in the sun, and love and hear. Give me your silence, and I will fill the vacuum with me. I will lead me forwards because your fear is like constipation.I … Continue reading Forward →
