distraction (Remove filter)
Fandango
A magenta sky
greets my morning sigh.
Another majestic day,
lost in the minutia of life.
Shoulda, coulda,woulda,
paralyzing dream sabers.
Distractions abound.
Download another book,
refresh the poet's page.
Escape, behind a waterfall
of tears.
Long nights,
paved years.

Third Eye Blind
Mind spinning faster than a cyclone.
Do this, do that ad infinitum.

walk hand-in-hand among redwood t...

I watch them slip away into a ...

Settle in a lazy muse and the moon no longer lingers,
When the mystery seems tired as the night turns day,
The conversation feels hired as the wine wears away,
When reality strings together like a cellists’ tune,
Awaking your longing for a richer room
Be the see...

notes
I carry a notebook most of the time
the idea, it seemed, to record my impressions
of being and living and all the worlds charms
but it was hijacked and now, instead,

as I stare through the glass, at the spiders posting
poison pen letters to...
