    Kindred Song (Singing Out) how might I grow beyond this sad shell; I hope to someday gain something better, by way of singing out my timid heart… then seeing features smile towards the sound of a pleasing vocal; as it flows through the night-life-gathered… so hungry they are for a kindred song 1-12-08

  • Cool Drowning

    Cool Drowning drinking deeply of the cool drowning; and so what if it hurts, sometimes… because in the end you’d done it all for that forever swimming 1-12-08

  • Did you ever…

    credits: Vangelis ( “Misty “) Kraustrujillo (YouTube) Did you ever (thinking of my Mother, who died when I was young, thinking of my daughter, and remembering walking alone along a quiet beach in Angola, Africa, with the waves coming steadily ashore…) Did you ever, stand on a shore, and gaze out to sea? Did you…

  • I flew alone

    I flew alone (An allegory of Man’s eternal quest for love) I flew alone in stormy skies and forced my tired, aching eyes past looming clouds and dark despair through lightning laden night time air in desperate search for guiding light with only ragged tops in sight. The hungry mountains mocked my breath cold granite…
