A Life In Dreams (short story)He woke up in a rapid sweat, darkness surrounding him, his soaked pillow was pressing up on his neck as he could feel the uncomfortable stabbing cold run right threw his whole body. His mouth was dry and his body was in great pain. He lay there practically naked, but not just physically, also emotionally. It was like a catatonic state where the person’s body is paused in reality, but the actual person is far away and isolated even from himself. He wondered why he was so comfortable being uncomfortable and remaining frozen in time. He saw nothing but the subtle moonlight that peaked through the blinds of his window. A point of existence, he feels nothing because all he has ever felt has drowned him. His numbness was being accepted and he embraced that if he remained this way, he would never have to feel hurt or heartbreak again. It’s better this way, he confirmed. / Eventually he got up out of his bed, walked outside to a nearby empty field. He looked up at the infinite night sky and contemplated the moon, the stars, and the endless space that sustained all of its existence. A tear fell down his cheek as he remembered the beautiful wonder of life and the universe; his realization that he is just a small spec of dust compared to all that is and all that is wonderful. Whatever happened to that universal happiness he used to feel? The feelings of the unseen, the cosmos, the mysteries that remain unsolved were all love. He then felt ancient and brand new at the same time-always being around all that is, but recently born into the unknown. The silence of the night swarmed him, and he suddenly embraced all the things he could not accept. The lullaby of the wind put him to sleep. / When he awoke, it was twilight. The sky was a lighter, deep blue and the sun in the far distance was rising in a fiery halo of mixed red, orange, and yellow colors, and the early morning clouds were clear and transparent. He heard the sound of a train horn in the far distance. He followed the sound with his ears as the sound became slightly louder and louder. Then, suddenly he could see the light of the early morning train.

Will You Walk A While With MeWill you... walk a while with me / Along my painful way / A love whose heart has eyes to see

"You know, son... There's a Reason..."“You know, son… There’s a reason... / God had a reason to give you broad shoulders -- / It’s so you could carry this load… It’s so you could hold up all these boulders.”

He's Gone... ForeverI can smell him on my sheets / I can taste him in my dreams / I can still feel every inch where he's touched me

AS YOU WALK AWAY*I wish I didn't have these arms you scratched / This broken heart you deeply touched? / Imagine the idea of making no damn oath

The Dark PassengerA new year is come and you're still not gone. / I can feel you creeping up on me. You feed on my energy, yet, I cannot see you. I'm glad I can't see your face. / You smell like an old forgotten rot underneath a seam of doors hiding the old death of forgotten men. Your cousin looms, taunting me to acknowledge your presence.

Malice in the Maine WoodsThe Moon and Sun shared Ecliptical Longitudes the night They murdered The child. / Beneath a stelliferous empyrean, / Like Sojourners among the quiescent Twilight, Mother and child, Ventured to meet the woman’s husband, the father of the child.

DespairWhat might it be that doesn't let me compete to three verses ? / Perhaps it is that I tend to write longer poems, perhaps the lengh / shouldn't matter so much as the message is carried through.
