(from Windows Of The World 2001, by T. Yates) Complete Piece Heart aches uncontrollably Feeling numb and very lost So much of what we knew is in rubble People pass by with hollow eyes – They shudder too often without warning I flinch and hold my breath when an airplane fly’s overhead Sirens scream recreating …

Unawakened Knowledge
Is this life set in stone? A book or song with words events that take twists and turns allowing fleeting moments of joy to tempt the stars - fate Yet to slip from sweet lips to tears of sorrow... When did life become less than something to cherish but rather dread... When did the light of another day take a turn from a blessing to a curse carrying with it the weight of the world? …
Wisdom Of Dorian Gray
Windowsill view of a world that has stood still for seven years Seven years and all I can do and all I can say is that the mirrored image of myself doesn't hold a candle to the image or the wisdom of Dorian Gray Self imposed isolation so many demons to slay ghosts that have …

Dear Life,
Is this the way it's suppose to be? The way it's supposed to play out? My mind is telling me one thing... but time doesn't seem to be on my side I'm kicking and screaming being dragged through life scuff marks on my hands and knees - Is this really the way it's going to …
