I Remember
I remember when this house was new It was built on lands pristine I remember when this house was full Most joyous days you’ve ever seen I remember Grandma baking As the family gathered round I remember late night singing Never heard a sweeter sound I remember Mother reading She always voiced the books with…

Can’t recall
Don’t recall how much, but more than likely it was a fancy Bavarian restaurant that sadly, is no longer in business. Good chow!

That feeling when…
You are trying to read or write and your eyes keep unintentionally crossing or blurring. That’s the struggle I’m having right now. 😄 I have been trying, with minimal success, to reply to comments for the past 45 minutes or so, and keep finding myself drifting off mid-reply. 😴 Anyone else ever have that? Methinks…

In The Ever Of The Afterglow
In the ever of the afterglow Dancing deep into the night In the ever of the afterglow Underneath a shimmering light In the ever of the afterglow Caught within an astral flight In the ever of the afterglow I hold your body to me tight In the ever of the afterglow Nothing ever seems amiss…

Not Clowning Around
They said that I was funny That I was the perfect clown But I must confess that lately All I really do is frown The trapezist stole my lunch bag And the ringmaster’s a dick I want to stuff him in a cannon And fucking launch that little prick He withheld my freaking paycheck ‘Cause…

Flow
In a world so rigid, we must flow For if we don’t, we cease to grow Like water ’round a riverbend We learn to flow, we start to mend Like tranquil oceans, summer sands Like water flowing through our hands If we learn to flow, we move so swift Roll like a stream through nature’s…

Picture Perfect (Reality In Autumn Night)
A picture perfect moment On a perfect Autumn night It is nothing but illusion Whims of fancy taken flight Reality is different It is often cold and cruel It will leave you feeling broken Leave you looking much the fool I once swallowed these illusions Now I’m wiser and I know That the world will…

Through Halls of Glass & Mirrors (The Disregard of Memory)
In a hall of shining mirrors As I walk upon the glass I look at moments faded All these things I slowly pass Some stir up emotions Some stir nothing up at all Some make me want to shatter See the shards of memory fall I force myself look forward There’s no need to look…

It takes the edge off
Morning coffee, a bit of silence, and some solitude. See? Look at that beaming face. Told you. Have a fantastic day, folks. 👍👍

The Die That’s Cast
It’s all within my hands I have the power to destroy I knew that I was different Knew it since I was a boy I was mocked for being special I was beaten, bruised and scarred It left a chasm in my soul My faith in man forever marred And now the time is coming…

The Father/The Son
The Father This is your birthright. Your destiny… Why do you reject it? Why do you deny what you are? What you are meant to be? From the day of your birth, your path was determined. And yet, you walked… No. You ran away from it. Foolish boy. You dared to defy me. No matter.…

No, thank you
This is one of those prompts where I feel like a reply could easily come off as boasting. Instead, I will just say I am thankful for random acts of kindness that others have bestowed upon me over the years. I hope everyone has a great day. Stay frosty.

NTT Showcase: 07.25.24 Edition
Good day to all and welcome to this week’s Showcase! Apologies for not having been around a ton, but with all the goings on lately, I barely know which direction I’m facing. Hoping it calms down soon now that some stuff is settled. In the interest of letting you get to the reading, I am…

A Moment of Gratitude
TLDR Version: Be thankful for what you’ve got, because others aren’t always so lucky. I thought about making a gorilla or moonweasel pic for this post, but upon further thought, I decided to try playing it straight for once. This morning I submitted my formal resignation to my current position. In the next few weeks,…
