Soul shake. Earthquake. In the depths is where I wake. Did I disappoint you? I promised that my distractions would be few. But I find the end of the dream to no longer be new. I swear I tried to stay asleep. If only just for my love keep. I might be able to find…

Oh you who have a silver tongue, what do you bring me? It is not harsh truths that scorch the mind. Neither cruel lies that are designed to cut deep. What you bring me are sweet nothings that lie in the middle. Gilded in all I wish to hear. *** Am I really so see…

Would you rather life be even shorter? Baby to adult in a day. Milestones reached in an hour. A new phase of life each second. It sounds hellish. A curse of the highest order. Enough to make the mind break and the soul crumble. Yet you live life like there is a finish line. Racing…

There are days when it is all too much. The weight too heavy on my head and heart. Problems too large or convoluted to overcome. When almost anything else seems more enjoyable. Then nothing is truly enjoyable. Those are the days when my heart acts up and I want to go home. *** I want…

If I can’t stop time, let me take my time. Seconds may be guaranteed but serenity is not. Laughter is not a promised sound. So many paths exist in life and you will never be able to see them all. So if I can’t stop time, maybe I will focus on the pretty roads. Take…
