Trinity And Unity pt. 1
She leaves and takes the gifts that I’ve left her Silver in the house of the dead Tombstones under a swamp of lies A pair of eyes blind, and of the mad Death makes angels of us all In the light of the uncertain Lay down on beds of nails and rust The holy, bound…

365 Santa
Well, I did something for the first time today. I can’t believe I never thought of this before, but, better late than never I guess. I hope I’m not the first one…well, I’m sure it’s been done before, so…regardless. I was sitting here, it had to be 4 am. Bleary eyed from the whiskey, darkness…

All is Quiet
Christmas Eve Not a creature is stirring I didn’t get the tree out this year. Maybe it’s not too late yet It never feels like a holiday to me. Working in Retail ruined that. Each passing year, work work and more work. At least the pay is good. I caught a break this year. I…

Regardless, the world was turned on its ear over the next decade. As I sit here listening to The Doors, I remember my father most of all, playing the Greatest hits cassette in the…

Dark Chocolate Cravings

Untitled Blues
No place left to roam here Just me and my crooked halo And the stranger staring back from the mirror Is a man I just don’t know They say the best you’ll ever feel …is right before you die Lord I ain’t felt good in years I’m weary worn and so dam tired… Yetimusic 2021
