Home. Where frustrations are familiar, the security of the well-known both comforting and restraining. A place littered with what’s been taken for granted. Intimacies disbanded, seconds grow into weeks of solitude and confinement of hands and thoughts. Restrained in the soft glow of old nights, it all feels distant, the routine dismissed as so often […]
Read MoreThe clouds in the puddle. The sky if your mind. I’d give you everything, have given so much, but it’s not enough. I tripped, fell flat on my face and saw the blood of my mistake spray across the finest dreams, tearing them from Heaven like discarded mobile toys; uncared for – under appreciated. And […]
Read MoreHey. Shine a light on me. Hey, hey, son. Shine a light on me. I can’t be down any lower than when my soul fell free, so hey! Shine a light on me. Know these days end as waves crashing on night’s beach. Where time sticks like mud in the seabed’s reach. When day seems […]
Read MoreDance in the light, child. Know the gift of every color and spread your sweet vigor, enthusiastically melting hard cynicism with curious wonder.

Read MoreDon’t go. Never stray from our sides, granting us stung smiles, a constant display of thrilling humor and unabashed ridiculousness. Be here always, warm heart. Accept the eye-rolls and calamity with quiet cuddles on cold nights, be our kindness. Greet friends with head down, accepting hands instinctively poised to scratch the scruff of you, and […]
Read MoreCrouched on the precipice. Studying the edge. Calculating risk. With bets you won’t hedge. I know your heart, for it’s just like mine. We see everything the same, though you’re the youngest, you will be the best, the apex of our line. He knows it too, your grandfather, your mentor, your friend. He’ll watch your […]
Read MorePlatinum is rare. Rarer still is a trip outside the confines of Earth’s pull. Then there’s the fleeting sight of a God particle afforded by the apex of human ingenuity. So much fleeting transience, incalculably invaluable. None of it comparing to tender moments with this feline terror. Made docile by night’s increasingly early descent and […]
