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
A classic theme for sure. Good day and happy Saturday to all. I hope this post finds you well. Today is the midway point of my work week, so I’m just grinding along to get to the end. 😆 If y’all have a long weekend, I hope you’re enjoying it and stay safe! If not,…

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,…

Calm Within The Storm
Rain is driving ’round me The wind is howling high The clouds grow ever darker Deadly demons in the sky The beasts they bellow louder Destruction taking form But the fear it cannot grip me I am calm within the storm © The Beginning At Last

Horizon Journey
Horizon far, a dawning day Another mountain in the way Conquer one, another rises Only difference are the sizes My head is aching, body sore I feel I cannot take much more Yet still I walk and still I climb As I have done for all this time One day I’ll reach, I must believe…

Among The Stars
The brightest star I see tonight Imagination taking flight To places far away from here There is no worry, have no fear For in the stars our dreams reside Unfettered, free, no need to hide In stars we are both lost and found Amongst the stars there is no sound Here with the stars we’re…

Inner Demons
The demons sleeping deep inside They’re the ones we try to hide Pious, good, we claim to be The demon’s dying to be free You deny what is yourself You try to keep them on the shelf Afraid to say just what you are Afraid of judgement from afar Why do you hang your head…

Well…
How about someone who can explain why some of these prompts are so silly or repetitive? Or why the random unsubscriptions still happen? Or why the like button doesn’t always work? Or why the notifications are so hit and miss? No? Oh, okay. Thank you. We have nothing to discuss then. Begone with you, WP.…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (13)
Korv the Barbarian had taken his leave of the village for a few days. He felt in his soul that he needed time to himself to contemplate things that inhabited his thoughts as of late. He left quietly in the evening and set out to find his solitude. He spent many an evening staring at…

Cry For Mercy
They called me traitor to The Crown My blade, a steel of great renown They threw me out and cast me ‘side They thought that I would run and hide My reputation, torn and tattered My body bruised, my armor battered My resolve, what they dismiss A vow I take, I promise this Before I…

Reborn
From ashes gray I shall arise Won’t recognize me with your eyes What I was you’ll find no more Nothing like I was before Tempered like a hardened steel Sharpened on the grinding wheel My soul is hollow, fully scraped Broken down to be reshaped Stripped of armor, stripped of pride My only fuel, this…

So, so familiar…
Feels like a very similar prompt from back in January. Rock on and have a great day, everyone.

Obscured
Secrets hide behind the cloud Sometimes silence speaks so loud Shrouded in a mystery Knowledge longing to be free Things sometimes are not so clear The answers farther, not so near Still we ponder, give our best To try and pass eternal test Perhaps one day enlightenment Or in the riddle be content The journey…

Discovery
In the temple of my mind Clarity I wish to find Far away from fellow man I seek to learn all that I can In solitude I feel my best Away from noise and all the rest I find the peace I’ve always sought Free from worry, free from thought As I feel the setting…

The Search For Meaning
For meaning true a man will look Some men will find it in a book Others find it through deep prayer We often find there’s many layers Some meditate to find the word Some follow only what they’ve heard We look for ones to be our guide When really we should look inside If you…
