51/M/United States Single , six kids. I work in social services. I love to write and watch movies. Paranormal enthusiest in my spare time. I enjoy playing golf.
I must write these words quickly, for they will soon disappear. A word is a funny thing. It makes a sound to utter or to write. So, those out there can make sense of it all. When they speak, they’re present for a fleeting moment, and then they’re gone; absorbed into the atmosphere. You cannot touch a word, but you can feel it in your heart and see it in your mind. There are trillions of spoken words piled up in the air. They are in caves and mountains. Many of them float atop the sea. They lie on the floor of the forest, and the grass of the fields. What are they trying to tell us? They have no sound or physical form, but they are still there. Can we gain understanding just by being still? Will their stories seep into us? They are in the foundations of ancient civilizations where wind blew and the sand covered them up. They are layered throughout the ground like fossils. You cannot see them, but they are there. Walk outside or to an ancient place. Be as still as you can. Use all your senses: Taste, Smell, touch, sound and sight. Let the words surround you. Let them sink in. Allow them to enter through your hands and your feet. Let them in your ears, your mouth, and your heart. Now take them. Take them back with you and write them down. Write them down so they can experience rebirth. So, they have purpose again. But write them down quickly, for they will soon disappear.

The Fate of the Word
Act I Cassandra twirled like her feet were wrapped in satin Smooth and flawless like her appearance Her gift of movement sent from one of nine muses her purpose drifted in like the waltz of a first love to dance was to breathe oxygen into her lungs Her love overflowed to everyone around her she didn’t distinguish between love and dance Masses surrounded her in awe of her gift She danced for love not for esteem She could dance for none and forever on If dance were to become transcendent, she would be the pioneer Act II On rare occasions fate can tear like sheer fabric against a nail A simple crack in the floor altered her eternity She flew through the air with poise and grace She landed on pain and despair like broken glass She always thought life was over when you meet death No no, life is at an end when you lose love Cassandra’s life was over, nevertheless she still drew breath Darkness filled her heart and all she could see was grey ACT III Your insides can rot when you discover there is no one to save you Not everyone gets a hero or a second chance The world’s focus is on those who get saved and their inspiring stories Not everyone has a happy ending or even an ending at all Cassandra wished she would end But her story seems never ending Always will she stand in the shadows and stare at the dance hall Living in her past forever END Pain is all she has left in her forgone existence So she will feed the inferno that is her brokenness And she will starve her desires Her lack of hope will crack the stone beneath her feet she will climb in and lay there Looking up at her end Stuck between death and the desire for something worse.

I am in love with her But I don’t even know her name I long for reciprocity But I know she doesn’t feel the same Where can I wonder from here My body can move by pace My mind and soul are blurred And my heart is stationary in this race When will you love me I will always be here When will you love me I lay in a black void without fear Apathetic blinders I wear Pathetic in my optimistic belief I will remain in my own darkness Do not comfort me I will seek no relief Stop telling me they will come around You do not know the god **** source Effort has been removed from my bones I am ****** I refuse to stay the course

Curtain Call
The grey Themes flows like molasses Key figures bustle about the impending law Like ants on a crumb of coffee cake What seemed so important on that dark day Flutters past like wind through a forgotten rake What is more treasured than this entanglement? The men with insipid wigs evidently The public does not compare to Parliament Bicker until your tongues swell into pink sausages Time is a hair, caught on a nail in a plank, laying in the field Insomuch as your ignorance to the turnshoes clacking underneath you The porcelain haired fellows unfortunate to yield Barrels of whiskey they are not It’s a keg of a different sort Guy thinks the fight is worth being fought To worship is to be free after all In the minds of zealots that’s justification enough It was free reign in Eden before the fall There’s no formality strike the brimstone Cognition upon the floor erupting beneath them Cricket in the corner little black legs hone Not insects, yet footsteps close Law prevails no fireworks tonight Religious freedom prevails? Who knows? It was foiled, ruined by one member Gunpowder plot posse found the gallows Perhaps no one will remember the fifth of November

Out Fawkes(ed)
Death arises upon darkened wings A personification of the ill most dreaded Tradition suggests the blackest black toils solo Black was never a hue but the absence of illumination Intangible skull fixed upon an explicit destination One entity to chaperon souls to eternity or damnation Enter, the woman in white Piercing light renders the eye useless Just as blackness conjures the eye into non-existence Death has not assistance nor counterpart No, Nephthys brings death a competition He does not revel in your demise She’d rather pluck life from your heart Not career or ambition His is to duty, as hers is to ruin Death does not hasten his arrival For he is just the courier Nephthys will strike you dead where you stand Death follows the path of fate She surges ahead of destiny to intercede At the end of all things, Death will be consumed And Nephthys will have her last meal

Nephthys
She travels by a conspiracy of ravens The unkindness soars undetected Treachery raves from this grouping She fears that which she harvests Innocent humanities of youth She cannot reap them without fatality Horror to gaze upon this necessary evil Her’s is a borrowed existence A half-life is preferable to no life at all She will never cease But the sacrifice must be honored For every stolen existence She carries a red carnation to the peak

Crimson Peak
Like emeralds that sparkle Her eyes beg to be stolen Black hollow caverns remain Her words are so eloquent They need to be locked away Leaving her tongue severed Laying stationary in a box She is compelled to spite her face Excise her nose, leaving dripping passage to her mind Now that her face has betrayed her She flies from the Arbors With a razor wire noose There is no one left Who will incinerate her remains The thief of origin Has gained another trophy.

The Arbors
A Small child has entered the doll display His timing, just right they say The dolls have long awaited this A new friend was their intrepid wish Little boy do not be afraid We are but friends to be made Wonderous thoughts filled the boy’s head could this be real, or something to dread. Just as real as you popped the tallest doll By accident? or did you hear our call I’m an orphan, you can tell by my face Then take heart my boy, you’ve come to the right place I will be your friend oh what a thrill Wonderful boy, now please hold still We will hold you down just for a bit It wont take long, so please don’t throw a fit A needle drilled through the skull, arms, and legs Drilling is done, now insert the pegs Don’t cry boy, you shall not perish Soon you’ll see, it’s something to cherish We’ll string you up to drain the blood Then songs will be sung, and emotions will flood It hurts please don’t do this to me It cannot be undone, but we have heard your plea I’ll tell no one, no not ever It matters not, the effects last forever Please, I am not an orphan. I lied I have a family. They love me, he cried Boy, we are your new family now You cannot leave; we will not tell you how. The boy began to breath faster and faster It’s no use boy. For you now belong to the puppet master.

She has a counterpart Dark and dreary architype Lucid dreams paralyzed flat Your peripheral is no fool Silhouette dons blackest of hat

Lucid Specter
Being Alone is the absence of love With love missing, care quickly follows Self-annihilation ensues post haste That makes one ripple Gliding across all of the Earth now subject to the butterfly effect
