Night. My sanctuary. Every single one of them, a new awakening from the burning eternity that is the light of each day. I have no recollection of the number of rising suns that have driven me into hiding, nor do I remember the faces of those I've preyed upon to satisfy my urge to thrive. I wake knowing if I recently fed only... More..

* One Wicked Road *Down one wicked road we roll,Deep-above and high-below.Nails or glass with your ice and snow?You must keep rolling on.I come from forgotten timesWhere they say few make it here aliveThis Legend states, we dead survive......But don't try this at home.I fear the weak and I rule the strongAnd I remain where th...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Tragedy: 28 of 76
I can't feel my legs,Bloody pool between me and them.I can't fear my heart,Although the road to it is large.Incantation, bored and bread,Back tracks leading through my head....The invoking hurts before the throb,The hurt unveils the way you are.Baffled, brave, beloved & bruised,And thicker blood thins in the pool.The welcome ...

The '80's - A decade of the trial-pilot. It was like Hollywood saying, "These people will watch ANYTHING: Let's just see what we can get away with!". Remember "The Greatest American Hero"? The hit pilot that lead to a canceled series? How about "Family Ties"', or "The Facts of Life"'? The old standard, "Mork & Mindy"? These p... More..

I've noticed that all of the vehicles I've ever owned as a smoker, compared to vehicles owned by those who won't smoke, are ultimately inferio... More..

ACT ONE: There are two winos on a park bench, after dark, conversing drunkenly.... JAKE: "I dunno why you didn't leave her LAST year... and steal EVERYTHING in the house...." MANNY: "You ... shut up. You weren't there and you don't know." *(The stray dog, 'Fhook', approaches, sniffing at their crotches and e... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Heaven & hell: 33 of 58
Heaven and Hell:Beneath a tangled claw of flame,A desperate soul has lost the game.Screaming out in Jesus' name,"Tear these demons from my brain!"Through wicked worlds and holy ghosts,Scratch and crawl and burn and roast.Fight to rise and earn the wings,The ones you'll need to hear them sing.Hammer of God will pound today,The...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Being a loser: 20 of 30
Filled these boots with bones and shards and wound up in the neighbor's yard,My pelicans stuck through a cedar roof, I stumbled on and shoe'd a hoof.That buck put gliding to a sin,So did that doe now trying on a grin.For Size. A punch from the eyes. A beggar man's role, A boogie-man cold.Trails and trombones,short-lived victo... More..
