It’s Just Me – Original Poem

A call away is all I have to say
Grey clouds surround the sliver lining

You believe in you

Us is a faded memory

We are all victims
Becoming machines as machines become reality

Words on a keyboard; kisses on the screens
Hugs never felt by human flesh

I have peaked on the mountaintop
High above the blue skies only to fall
Stumbling past shadows into a fiery pit of self-inflicted isolation

Millions stare into the soulless mirror
Looking at a reminder of a former self

Be gone, be gone

Live and breathe a life once known
Destroy the monsters in the closet and raise the sword of victory as the bed sheet cave blows in the wind


Blue Waters of Her Eyes – Original Poem

The blue waters in your eyes welcome my soul into a baptism of self cleansing
A friend til the end

A girl without warning, sweeping in like a tornado
Showering you with love and drowning your sorrow

In a deafening silence she pierces through the core of reality to reveal the fantasy that is within all of us.

She is a princess in the kingdom self-awareness
The cure for all disease
The warmth that melts away the Ice Age

The flow of her secret sends shivers down your spine penetrating the pores and exciting the blood flow to your heart

It is that fire that burns in the mental inferno that heats the loins of love
She blazes through you leaving only ashes

Crying for the ecstasy of one more touch
The omnipotence of eternal knowledge, the keeper of salvation, the restful tone of a nurses hand

Now, she is an offering to your empty basket
Filling up your missing void
Extending a hand to the complete the circle of one


We may be connected, but are we touching..

I had an opportunity to watch a remarkable new show on Fox, Touch featuring Kiefer Sutherland. Aside from an astonishing concept that has global appeal and an emotional message of connection, this show hit the heart of some of my deepest thoughts.

As an addictive, 24 fan, my expectations were high for Kiefer Sutherland and I was not let down. Driven by the concept that we send millions of texts, connect through email, social networks and mobile tracking, the show derives that though millions of interactions occur around the world each and every day, how often to truly touch one another. Think very hard about that statement and see if you can comfortably address that question?

Through human interaction, decisions are made and actions are taken that have a true domino effect. Though in hindsight, one action may influence another event, but it truly can effect hundreds of other simultaneous or future events. We are all unconditionally connected to each and every thing. Is it coincidence, fate or another power that controls our actions?

The depth of life is a wondrous miracle. Human, animals, plants, chemicals, vitamins, all cohesively living in co-habitation on this planet with the goals of sharing resources to continue the gift of life.

Do we see this? For many, life is a bubble. It is a comfortable place of our core surroundings where we understand the actions, the behaviors and the people and places that collectively create our own personal utopia. This is our circle of life. For some it is a single town, a cave, a state, a country, a family or complete isolation. The truth is, the connection of life is endless. We can never truly isolate our being. No matter what choices we make, there are consequences on others. We are all responsibility for something much greater than ourselves.

There are moments in my life that I see things in a much greater light, but not often enough. It is almost a shame that a show needs to remind me, but then again, I saw the show because another connection reminded me.

How often do we hear people talk about “paying it forward” or “karma will come back to bite you in the ass”. In theory, every calculated and un-calculated event that is possible will happen at some time. When you allow yourself to be free of expectations and see each day of your life as something wonderful, almost magical, you will start to see things differently than you ever have before.

Lay in a dark room or a dark field and listen. Listen very closely. You will hear sounds that have previously been blocked from your sub-conscious. You will hear insects, birds and even wind but if you listen very very closely, you will hear the air and the sounds of darkness. There is so much more we chose not to see and hear. Imagine you could hear and see everything that is right before your eyes.

It would be a life experience full of the greatest wonder you could ever imagine.
