Heaven's light

Opens eyes sealed dark

Peerless shine

Eternal legend

In the Pen Volume 3: #9: Throw

In the Pen Volume 3: #9: Throw

Toss the ball!

We win! We win!

In the Pen Volume 3: #8: Teeth

In the Pen Volume 3: #8: Teeth

Tiny bones

Eating through food

Every time

Tummies rumble

Home cooking makes me smile

In the Pen Volume 3: #7: Fancy

In the Pen Volume 3: #7: Fancy

Fine-dressed dancers

Acrobats of rhythm

Nuance in motion

Crowds made of couples

Young and old alike

In the Pen Volume 3: #6: Rodent

In the Pen Volume 3: #6: Rodent

Rat-infested!

Odorous!

Disease-ridden!

Eaters of filth!

Tyrant!

In the Pen Volume 3: #5: Blade

In the Pen Volume 3: #5: Blade

Brandished steel

Let loose from scabbard

Armed

Deadly

Evisceration

Volume Two

Volume Two

There is a thirst

A thirst that demands

From the first

A second volume

A refusal to entomb

A continued flow of thought

So, here we are

On the precipice of success

Never bought

Never purchased

But tempered

Through trial and strife

But what else is Life?
Simple life is first

A gift

Loving Myself

Loving Myself

I have never

In my life

Wrapped my own arms

Around me

And felt

This is what love feels like

Hopeful Cynicism or Cynical Hope?

Hopeful Cynicism or Cynical Hope?

Life is made of moments
Fleeting and full
Forgotten and forsaken

Life is lived
Remembered and revered
Restored and restrained

Life is a series of choices

Counted and considered

Careful and careless

Life is difficult

Trials and tribulations

Turmoil and tears

Life is determined

Challenges conquered

Chasms crossed
