Ashback Friday # 7 – It Came From Outerspace
Posted on February 22, 2019 2 Comments
Ah, to be young again. I was in a googling wormhole a few nights ago and came across the movie poster you see above. As soon as this image popped up in my web search, I instantly smiled in recollection. I was a young boy, thirteen I think, some community group was putting off a […]
Dark Fantasy

Oh, beautiful moon, why do you tease me? With fantasy, I know is not real. Darkness always has another plan for me, where light can never celebrate. I dare not chase away the loneliness, for the night will expose my weakness. I have no prayer to use, don’t lie and tell me there’s fate. Go…just […]
Whispers From You

A lull from the hillside early morn, like a whisper from you. I stood in the chill… …with a tear reminder, of what I’ve lost. Sweep me up, walk with me through the valley, take me to the mountain tops. I am brisk, I am alive…for now. Whisper some more to me, until the mutters […]
Come To Me Again

If my trial has ended, why do your stones still lay at my feet? My deepest wounds will never heal until their forgotten. No, always they fester, they ache, like my broken heart which is bled to near death, over and over, as I lay in this cold dark place alone. I had to run […]
I Can Tell its Home!

Grant me that yesterday tomorrow. I want to run again in November rain. Taste once more, those raindrops. Pinch me because I’m alive. Let me feel it to the bone, that day… I wore the fog home. Seagulls bicker, over drenched catch laid in blood, but that day, no matter. T’was Mother Nature’s chore. All […]

Moonlight to Morning

I remember nights that seemed only for me. Everything still, silent…time fixed. I sat by shore, lost in its wake. Watched as mossy moorings danced in captivate. The moonlight stretched my little port, reaching for tomorrow, maybe running from yesterday. A lull of loneliness, like a blanket. Protects me from exposure. Suspended in salty bliss, […]

“We are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmastime.” ―Laura Ingalls Wilder *Take a look at our Christmas Village from a few years ago. The video was taken with an early smartphone. At the time, I was just fooling around really, but in retrospect, I’m glad […]
Ashback Friday # 5 – I Pity the Fall!
Posted on November 23, 2018 2 Comments
Hey all, Pictured above is the old 1983 Mr. T action figure, and no not a doll, an action figure. The difference is the kung-fu grip. Anyway, I was and still am I guess, a huge fan of the A-Team. I watched religiously every week as Four Vietnam vets, framed for a crime they didn’t […]
