Not much to say. Failed songwriter. Failed novelist too. Since I can’t fail any further downward, I figure I can only go up from here!
… this is not a short story, poem or lyrics submission… this is a rant, so block your eyes and ears!
When I was working on my nutty, unreadable, sci-fi novel, one of the sections of my book was titled “Abacus Theory.” WTF does that even mean you may be wondering right about now…
Well, let’s [...]

I could make you cry
If I wanted to
I could break your heart
But that’s just cruel
Nothing would change
It’s out of our hands
It’s a beautiful day today
C’mon, I wanna show you what I found!
By the trail along the lake
Just beyond the lazy river
There’s a place where no one comes around
Where the water shines and shimmers
And you and [...]

Sunshine
The sky
Springtime
Alive
(she smiles at me)
I have been away so long
I have been away so long
I have been away so long
I could cry
A nice day
To play
A holiday
Away
(she smiles at me)
I’ve been away for so long
And then awoke to the dawn
I have been away so long
I could cry
Morning-time
Arise
Sleepy-eyed
Surprise
(she smiles at me)
I have been away so long
I have [...]

Never in my wildest dreams
Did I imagine
This
Life of slow-motion pain
Unfolding like
Eternity
Goes the sparkle of my youth
My bewilder-stricken cry
And squelched hopes
Crushed by the pressure of time
Under the pull of daylight
In the fall of night
Kicking and squirming
From these tattered pages
Crumpled
And wrapped in bed sheets
Goes my long dead dream
Glimpsed only once
Of a bright and shining paradise
Where endless and [...]

She comes around again
Like creeping ivy, she spreads
My heart deluged by our ceaseless rain
Wet with expectation
Climbing over the stone walls
Over the fractured granite of my heart
Planting deep roots within my spine
And wet blossoms upon my eye
She comes to me
With cautious laughter
Sparkling with joy, and dappled
With dark subtleties
A feverish heart
Clutching at my very soul
Relinquishing me
Abandoning me [...]
