Journal Entry # 182 – Embrace the Space

Bike Writer # 40 – Paint A Beautiful Life For Yourself!

Dukes of Habit
Irish night
with a few black beers for luck
stood elbow to elbow
in the midst of strange drunkards
three sheets to the wind
placing little wagers before the clock struck
and the tender turns us away
like the last three nights we’ve been
Unbroken
Dead of winter
as the winds howl
I’m still out there searching for you
footprints quickly cover
forgetting how far I’ve come
my hands, no longer feel
my breath, stolen
my eyes, blinded by this storm
my heart, almost empty
my will…unbroken

Journal Entry # 175 – Alone But Inspired By So Much

Virus
I’m looking around,
at him, at her, at them
mad, confused…mostly scared
of something that may not even be there
and all I can think about is you
Weakness (Haiku)
Under this street light
pouring down rain in the cold
alone, and done wrong
Journal Entry # 172 – You Got This
