My lady, my ephemeral voice from the phone, first heard over wires not connected to walls or was that the acid you suggested had probably been a bad idea? “Drugs are bad, sweetie, unless you got the good shit.” My princess, my voice of reason through drunken haze, the payphone on a Friday night; the …

SEAN
Oh, here where cold meets hot, wet meets dry, stillness of the sand by the drumming of the surf To throw yourself into the wave and unknown and return again and again to the ever-shiftingsame secure shore. Color still vivid as Eden’s first hues riot against white sand blue sky and reddened skin. Helios’ last true …
In the Cathedral: Images & Confessions
Prelude I recently found back something I thought lost for ten years – a collection of poems from my youth, paper copies of my earliest work, when ideas and imagination went merrily unchecked, until at some point they were fewer and fewer between. My brother had scrapped my ancient computer for me, and drilled holes …
Shopping: A rant.
I work with people living with addictions and mental health issues. Sometimes they cannot manage their behaviours because of this, and I do my best to diffuse the situation to work with them to find solutions. It’s tough, especially right now.

synesthete
I wonder how your smile tastes And what your laughter feels like As I hear your arms slide across my back Smell your embrace While seeing the feelings grow between us

There are little things even today that catch my breath in a paralysis of remembrance -sometimes sad, sometimes joyous – of the still palpable loss of Jaymz. There are the plates from a trip to Greece I never took on the kitchen wall, because they were from his trip, on his kitchen wall. There are …
Team Award Speech
(I nominated my two IT colleagues at work for team of the year, and happily they won. However…HR forgot to mention I had to give a speech at our all-staff meeting about why I nominated them until the night before. Both being quiet men, praise is uncomfortable for them. This was the result. The colors …
First Impressions
His pic -three-quarter view – Studies seriously something off-camera A kind face with a few curls struggling free of product and placement His profile – Three quarter paragraphs – Speaks simply, stirring within: Approachable, articulate, artistic Three reads through I say hello He’s standing Uncaring of a crowd around him, they diverge around …
