What Crosses My Mind

  • Texting My Death

    I have found parallels these days the manner by which I find I need to compose myself some way in the matter of letters that bind. ~ Seems every time I have a thought triggers in my head will alarm oh wait screams my mind so frought with anxiety, now I fuel the storm. ~…

  • Wants and Needs

    So much do I, but then it sems and then they always tell me that, what other reason could there be, beyond the normalcy of our lives. I was walking toward the exit one day, no one behind or ahead of me, could just as well have disappeared and then I realized it doesn’t matter…

  • Ground Breaking Rules

    When in childhood, I once stood in the forest, friends having descended the trail, a night of surreal exploration of the wood, a morning fire, a quiet reckoning.   Having forgotten a knife, knowing it to be on a rock, the rings of stone, suddenly erupted while coming upon, the late night stories.   There…

  • Counting On Television

    An episode of controversy, a young woman, lost child, heartbreak exposed inside the elements of a premise, a drama that unfolds, and the audience, the me, you, the neighbor, the office worker, we all watched the same movie, he characters we all connect with, and we all cried, only for the moment, until the next…

  • If You Smile, Intend It

    I have walked into your world, watched your smile direct traffic, I have known the outcome afterward, when the world continues alone.   If you smile, they might appeal to the soft nature of your character.

  • On Waking the Soul

    We carry ourselves, a part of the said society, the local groove, where be our means, we define who we are, why we do, where it is we belong, based upon the couple next door, the family down the street, the look of the vendor, when purchasing ordinary.   We measure our lives, in respect…
