    I need you in my life I guess I always knew I did I felt it deep inside But I always kept it hid Afraid you may reject me Or afraid that you would not Was it fate and destination? I never really gave a thought I denied the joy you bring me Worried what…

    In the forest after midnight She walks a path alone Among the owl and the pine Is where she truly feels at home A universe wide open Secrets many it can tell If you only listen closely It can teach it’s many spells The moon is like a mother A glowing, guiding hand The air…

    I went out strolling late last night Beneath a moon that shimmered bright The streets were silent, not a sound Was not another soul around The houses dark, all fast asleep With Morpheus they slumber deep The evening cool, a gentle breeze I walk unfettered where I please A peaceful shroud encircles me Here in…

    Once I rode a horse so white Fought for all that’s good and right I had a code, I had a creed Helping others when in need My heart was pure like driven snow From mountain high to valley low My deeds were praised in joyous song And then one day it all went wrong…

    I read the words you wrote today They hit me in the hardest way The tears were falling just like rain As I relived each ounce of pain Your iron will I so admire How you were forged in fiercest fire A braver soul I’ve rarely met We have not seen your finest yet A…

    Peaks and valleys, they abound Finish one, another round Always climbing, never stops Climb again to reach the top Tired, sore and feeling lost Is the climbing worth the cost? Staring up, a peak so high Don’t think you’ll ever touch the sky But still you try, God only knows Pelted by the freezing snows…

    There comes a time in every life Cut so deeply by the knife Sliced so deeply to the bone A greater pain you’ve never known A state of shock as there you lie A look of panic in your eyes As claret flows in floods abound You think of all you’ve lost and found Before…

    Staring at the evening sky I often sit and wonder why Why we do the things we do And tell ourselves a lie so true Convince ourselves of better days Even when we lose our ways We stumble blind and truly lost We pay but we ignore the cost Constantly the cost will rise Right…

    On a battlefield of broken dreams From far away the muffled screams The ghosts of those who came before To walk this world for nevermore The echoes of a haunted past Were not the first, won’t be the last The cycle it will never cease Without the war there is no peace A cycle of…

    Winds of fortune, sail away Perhaps return another day Perhaps return to open shore Or drift away forever more If I drift out to the sea There’s no need to look for me I’ll follow heart to where it leads To where I’m finding all I need Sailing towards the setting sun Said farewell to…

    Idle hands and active mind Wander through a life unkind In a hole and in a haze Wandering through a twisted maze And though I try to leave this place Reality is in my face Mocking me at every turn A secret I have yet to learn Don’t want to scream don’t want to shout…

    **Explicit Language/Offensive Content Warning.** You tried to make me bow You tried to make me kneel And now it’s all too clear You don’t care just how I feel You would never understand You could never ever know The hate inside my heart Basking in the ashen glow You think you understand You don’t know…

    Hello and good evening, all! Apologies for the very, very late edition! I’m still adjusting to the new work schedule, and have not quite found my groove yet. Normally, I would run through the roll call, but as I am already very late, I am going to jump right into the proceedings. Please forgive this…

    No Theme Thursday I remember hugging my family goodbye, not knowing what awaited me. I remember sitting on the tarmac in the dead of night. I remember seeing a Budweiser vending machine in Germany and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. I remember the first time my feet touched the desert sand and thinking…

    No Theme Thursday entry. Sometimes I wonder What’s beyond that horizon? Sometimes I wonder Is there more out there? Sometimes I wonder What could I have done better? Sometimes I wonder Would it even matter? Sometimes I wonder Were we chasing an impossible dream? Sometimes I wonder Did she find what she was looking for?…

    In the dark, my hate can hide The pain I carry deep inside I medicate with whiskey burns Another pill, my stomach turns I drink all night and sleep all day I can’t survive another way My throat it burns, the taste is rough But more is never quite enough © The Beginning At Last

    No Theme Thursday *Explicit Language and Content Warning* The pain. The sweat. The mud. The blood. The screams. The limbs. The death. The flood. The booze doesn’t kill the pain. Neither do the drugs. I don’t want to be here, but I don’t want to go home either. My buddy wrote to me. He said…

    Friday on my mind but I’d just as soon forget I used to have a life but I wonder where it went Had it in my pocket but it must have fell somewhere I thought to look around but I found I didn’t care It wasn’t worth a lot no, it wasn’t worth that much…
