Seventeen

Isn’t the sky more beautiful with stars in it? Or maybe just the lights on the hill? It’s just cold enough on this late March night. The kind of cold that just feels good flowing through your hair, through your body. Just beautiful enough for me to be reminded of how lucky we are, How … Read more

New Orleans Square

And somewhere hidden behind the facades dance chimney sweeps atop the roofs. There’s something magical there if you keep going, But I cannot continue tonight. I can only admire what you hold the potential to be. Somewhere hidden. Goodbye beautiful facade, I’ll never know the beauty you possess. You were nothing more than a hope … Read more

Coastal Postal

Suddenly I hear nothing, And the rhythm joy enters my ear canals. It sings its way through my nervous system And exits into my brain as it explodes into tiny pieces of music. I am overcome with a vibrant sensation of notes and melody. Look how far we have come. We seem to never run … Read more

I’m Lost Somewhere in Delaware

I’m stopped here, and this car’s parked terribly. I see lights up the road. Are they coming to get me? And who would’ve thunk it? Castle walls on the side of a freeway. A mystical forest full of wonder. Oft do bees play on my windshield, And oft do boys play soccer on abandoned parking … Read more

Hey Virga, Cheer Up

Hurry, hurry and catch up! The cloud has been abandoned. It did not want to continue on. We must save it before it falls behind the hills and it is lost forever. We can still repair it but it all gets blurry. Where are the other clouds off to? They float away to a better … Read more

Peace. Peace to you.Today is a good day.When millions have flocked because millions more have died.The hands of my fathers show 40 times more wear than mine.Yet we still struggle, but not for long.“Today could never happen. It’s just not happening.”That’s what they said.They were wrong.This day could never happen! Not with the arsenal in … Read more
