Flood
Thunder rolls in near distance
Marching with evil persistence
Back once more from the brink
Nothing left in the bottle to drink (…)
Another
Another day I sat and wasted
Another flavor won’t be tasted
Another sight I’ll never see
Another memory will not be
The fugitive
Pockets emptied
Debts burned
Name changed
Nothing left
Not even my ghost (…)
New life
Your words gave me a new life
My dread began to float away
Wondering if this could be a new start
And how it would all play out in the end (…)
Arlington: More than the Big Four
Arlington is more than the Big Four in our Entertainment District. They’re popular, and icons of our skyline, but there’s more to Arlington than that. It’s some of the lesser-known things in this city that gives it charm and personality. The Big Four aren’t really for me. So what do I like about Arlington then? Let’s find out.
The verdict
Balancing patience and persistence
Waiting for a voice from the shadows
Tethered by indefinite indecision
Cursed daydreams of frayed regret (…)

Death of a muse
It’s all just a ruse
To tempt my muse
With no gifts to offer
The mood turned darker (…)
One year of my website
It’s been one year since I started my website. I had no idea what I was doing when I started and wasn’t sure what I wanted to accomplish. I’m not an expert at it, but after 140 posts, I’m getting better and more confident.
I’m excited about my upcoming blog series – “Local Unknown.”
My prison
Twenty-three hours a day in this cell
Welcome to my own private hell
I pray that God will set me free
My fate is locked without a key (…)
Lie to me
Tell me the lies I want to hear
I’m too scared to admit my fear
Forget the truth, just lie to me
You know I’m too blind to see (…)
Wasting time
Sitting here, just wasting time
Listening to the clock chime
The day is nearly gone and over
While I wait for a four-leaf clover (…)
Cabin Fever
Stuck in this house
Pent up energy
Motionless in oblivion (…)
Chained
The monotony of the day
Searching for another way
Living in this rusty cage
In the dust of my foolish rage (…)
Duality
The snake behind me gives a hiss
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
I turn around to face the beast
My soul is his meal, his final feast (…)
Sweet dreams
As the sun morphs into the moon
Another transformation coming soon
Choreographed chaos ensues
Here is a man with nothing to lose (…)
The wonder
Remember the sky we saw that night
Where the stars were ablaze with light
The worries that slowly melted away
And gave us hope for one more day (…)
Late night jazz
A different time and place
Forbidden speakeasy
The door slowly opens
Loud, wild jazz music
Serenades the midnight hour (…)
