Energy Ascendant
Headed toward destruction Just past the speed of light A star gone supernova This will be my final flight Said goodbye to family Said goodbye to friends I went to sleep contented Content to meet my end The life I lived was good Well, maybe not so much A relic from another age So distant,…

Cast Aside
Stepped upon and cast aside No one even tries to hide Absolute and sheer disdain Serve no use, I’m just a pain All the years I gave my best Tossed aside just like the rest A young man’s world it has become God bless the bottle, keeps me numb They tell me that my time…

The Dream Had Died
When I awoke today I cried I realized that the dream had died I burned it down without regret It’s something I wish to forget Another foolish Neverland Ruined by a fate’s cruel hand Life in the clouds does not exist And if it did it’s one I missed If I had it all to…

The Simple Life
There’s a lot of simple things that might bring me some joy, but off the top of my head, I would say that writing and No Theme Thursday (although currently on hiatus) in particular, make me pretty happy. Have a nice day, everyone. ✌

Feral Friday!
Good morning all. Or, evening if it’s later where you are. Hope everyone is having a great day, and TGIF! I am laying low today and cruising in recovery mode. Hopefully be back to 100 in a day or so here. In the meantime, I hope you have a ferocious, fantastically feral Friday! Have a…

When, you say?
When people (or daily prompts) ask me one stupid question too many. 😋 That’s when I know it’s time to duck out and have one drink too many. Cheers, folks. Have a great day. 😊

No Theme Thursday: 05/30/24
Good day to all, and welcome to this week’s edition of NTT. After giving it some thought, I have decided that after this week, it’s time for a break. The main reason for this is that, if I am being completely honest, I have been struggling to come up with what I feel is fresh…

Friends & Other Assorted Miscreants
This one’s going to be short and sweet since I had a slight accident yesterday and am not feeling 100 at the moment. A friend is someone who sticks by you, doesn’t judge you, and doesn’t get all bent out of shape if you don’t call/text them immediately after they contact you. They may also…

Wizardly Wednesday
Good morning and Happy Hump Day, all. Hope the week has been pleasant for everyone so far. I’m debating a call out, myself. Mostly just because 😄 I hope y’all have a great day and come across some magic somewhere along the line!

Excursions In The Late Night Wood (A Return)
Though she has traveled here before She finds she must return once more Drawn to this place, cannot explain She can feel a hunger, feel the pain Is it man, or is it beast? It does not matter in the least This calling never seems to cease Every night, the calls increase Even sleeping in…

Work, work, work!
While I feel like I think about work enough as it is, I’ll go ahead and indulge the daily prompt gods. I’ve done my fair share of stuff, I suppose. I had the good old paper route when I was younger. I did my time on the restaurant circuit too. Almost thought about going to…

Over The Top Torpedo Tuesday!
What the hell does that mean? I have no freaking clue. Does it matter? Hell, no. 🤣 I got on a jag creating some submarine and water pics, so I went with it. Hope everyone had a nice long weekend and Tuesday is treating you well thus far. Personally, I slept like hellish, but whatever.…

Oh, hell no…
Not your freaking business, WP. What I do or don’t believe is my business, just as what others believe is theirs. Come back and try again another time. Let me see you out…

It Can’t Be Done (No Escape)
They said it was impossible That it never could be done No one could ever leave here The odds were slightly less than none But every night we dug and drilled Music muffled what we did And when the guards walked by at night Behind dummy walls we hid The vent they left unguarded Was…

In A Time When…
In a time when attention spans are shorter than Jason Statham’s hair. In a time when rudeness is as common as a WordPress glitch. In a time when no one remembers… One Gorilla Does. He remembers when a phone was just… A phone. He remembers when the cars were fast, and the women… Were faster.…

Of Silence
Look up high, the day is done We say goodbye to setting sun A calming hush felt all around Among the trees there’s not a sound The world at rest, the world at peace For but a moment, sweet release Cherish silence where you can For soon, another day at hand Embrace this moment, drink…

Lunar Spectral Musing
Lunar spectral deity A spirit ever roaming free You magnetize, you hypnotize No one escapes your watchful eyes You wax and wane, your secrets hide But to their core, some know inside Your riddles are a compass To the knowing, you’re a guide You show us what you want to Keeping sacred what you must…

I don’t rightly know…
So I will stay silent on that one and just wish everyone a safe and happy Sunday. Take care all!

Go for the gold?
Certainly. Go for the Ghost? Definitely. This post brought to you by the working stiffs on the night shift who’d rather be watching the Celtics get hosed by terrible calls in Indiana. 😄

The Sisters Morgan
Mary Jane and Sister Sarah rode right into town They’re looking for the Dirty Dogg who cut their Daddy down They followed him to Amarillo, riding day and night He’s headed for the border and they’re itching for a fight The Galley Boys got in the way, they’re six feet under now Nothing’s gonna stop…

Steampunk Saturday: 05.25.24

Taste of Freedom
As the day is softly fading As it yields to coming night The spirit deep within me Longs to take a fancy flight Freedom from the shackles From the shackles of the grind Into a world expanding Expanding with my mind For here I’m superhuman And my limits know no bounds Here no one can…

The World…
…And everything in it. Hell Yeah. On a more semi-serious note, I think “having it all” means having a life that is as stress free as possible, with good folks around you, and being grateful for what you’ve been blessed with. Is more attainable? Well, a lot of that depends on us as individuals now,…
