Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.

    Years From Now


    I saw a glimmer of
    my future; our
    future. Trapped in
    the tired eyes of
    a child.

    I looked at the
    sleeping form in
    my arms and in
    those twilight
    moments I understood
    but one thing.

    I was holding perfection.

    Untainted,
    unaffected,
    unafraid and
    free to trust.

    And in those
    twilight moments
    beneath the stars
    I saw that he
    understood the same.

    We drove home
    in contemplative silence
    as the night evolved
    into the morning
    and thought about
    the wonder we beheld.

    He looked at me,
    his gaze stopping
    at my now empty
    arms.

    "You have never
    looked so perfect,
    beautiful. And I
    know that I saw
    our future."

    Only



    With each cast glance
    I glimpse the pieces
    of you that chipped
    away at the core of you.

    Those shattered moments
    of failed love
    forgotten desires,
    of living and being content.

    But how I long to
    do more than look
    at the truth. How I wish
    I could make you feel.

    I would be your heart
    if you would let me
    be so close. I would
    be your spirit...

    I would be your
    world of peace and
    wonder. Of understanding.
    I would be your past.

    But I can only catch
    glimpses through that
    mop of hair and forced
    movement.

    I can only be your lover
    in the present.
    The future is only as
    sure as living.

    Mirror


    If I were to be open,
    sincere and blunt,
    would you want
    to listen?

    If I looked you in
    the eyes and told
    you what I've tried,
    would you care?

    If I shouted my
    opinion without thought
    of decency, would I
    stand alone?

    Or would the world
    embrace the mess
    of an
    artist
    fool
    lover
    failure
    adventurer
    wanderer
    ghost
    friend
    foe
    freak

    that I proudly look at in the mirror each night?

  • Music


         I'm in a particularly musical mood today. I long to close my eyes and get carried away on the trills and crescendos.

         I think tomorrow I will wander.

         Follow the notes and see where I end up.

Misconceptions of Self

  • I was never meant to stay still. To live is to be lost and happy about it.
