Back at the old homestead after a much needed and much enjoyed romp on the Jersey shore in one of my favorite places (Cape May NJ), I still have lots to post from that trip but I am going with what I usually do on the weekends, and that is post some of what I consider simpler poetry, in word or theme, just things I have written that I like, and maybe someone else will (and as usual I always post the dates these were written, they seem so new to me but damn I can’t believe some of these are months old)

where have the years of my life gone
where have they lead
what has been achieved
when all is said,
are children
an accomplishment
what has it all been
time, time, time
marching forward
I am stranded behind
but not
I am towed along
no escape
time always flowing
in one direction
to my end
“real” 7.10.2018
reality
why would I dwell there?
there… at there, is no hope
better in my mind
my heart
can lead
to the truth
I wish
to be.
“I surrender” 7.10.2018
So I will grant you
the right of way
even though you are wrong
I do not have the energy
to argue with you,
anymore.

a blade, to fillet your bones
rib by rib, peel the skin
one by one, strips of flesh
slow reveal, the pleasure death
– revenge.
notes: I really like the last two, the last one is a bit sinister and seems relevant coming up to halloween, I also think the timing of the words works as read, but I am biased being that I wrote it…
music? hmmm….
Sort of the odd ball album from a usual metal/goth/doom band… I think this song is slick and sexy, especially considering the band’s history (death/doom metal start). Damn catchy, an oddity, like me, this is what makes the world interesting. so what do you think ? reading this? do I make any sense whatsoever ?
