I've neglected this blog for much too long and it's time to return. Life has been one grand journey after another these past six months. I've been lower than I've ever been before. I've been in the darkest place I've ever been and now....now...I emerged and changed entity. Changed in a way that I have become myself again. Strange how that happens, but I am so much the better for it. I've started writing again, also. I hope you enjoy.
eerie
there is smoke in the air-
it's thick and tangible
and it drops slowly down upon everything
leaving it all blurred in a gray dust
it's a eerie kind of beauty that i see
the sky is full of color...
slashes of magenta, orange and red
as light fights to reach the ground
Amazed...yes, that's what I am,
at how destruction can be so glorious-
renewing...so beautifully painful
and so painfully beautiful
Eerie
that's what it is
as I watch the day
dip erotically into night

MADNESS OF MIDNIGHT
I made it home
just before sunset
and the smell of tangerines
and roses hit my senses.
It felt good to run...
just run to no place,
or no one,
in particular
Restless energy,
yes, that's what it was
and it subsided,
but only a bit
I was happily exhausted
as the heat
stole my breath and pushed
me to the pillows on the bed
until the madness of midnight came
and stole my rest away
an traded them for tear stains
on the pillowcase
