  • Bare Branches

    I sit among the bare branches thinking of loneliness. How tight a grip it has. How deep the roots of fear must go. It must be a horrible life. To live each day unable to move, unable to intertwine with another. My legs dangle beneath me, free of any confines. What would it be like, … Continue reading Bare Branches →

  • Blue Afternoon

    My feet tap the wall, keeping the rhythm of my beating heart. With closed eyes, I can see you. My fingers begin dancing upon the strings. The vibrations echoing inside my chest, feeding the fire inside. It is all I can do to hang on, to melt the ice freezing the memories of “us”. The afternoon is … Continue reading Blue Afternoon →

  • A True Man

    http://nikz87.deviantart.com/ “I would rather have a broken heart than a guarded one. For a true man falls victim to emotion. He does not let the emotion control him but rather endures the pain and enjoys the pleasure. A guarded heart’s only company is loneliness.” – Scott James Elliott

  • Freedom

    The chains rattled as she swung her legs back and forth. The tree’s a green blur as the world rushed by. With her head tilted back, her eyes focused on the sky. Oh such a beautiful sky. It was brilliant blue with white clouds drifting lazily among an ocean of breeze. The wind tousled her hair and tickled her face as she went higher, faster. Her heart raced as her hands released the cold steel. She was flying. She was free.

  • Sweat and Rain

    This was the closest he had ever been to her. He breathed in the smell of her, rain and sweat. He kissed along her neck, letting his lips linger on her skin. She tasted sweet with only a hint of fear. She had nothing to fear, but he was the only one who knew that. … Continue reading Sweat and Rain →

  • Some Things

    Some things in this world are worth time and effort, others are not. The challenge is in distinguishing between the two. I have found in my adventures, the clues to unearth which is which are well hidden. At times, they are completely obscured. It is wasn’t till the dust had settled I was able to … Continue reading Some Things →

  • The Fear of Success

    It occurred to me just yesterday while watching the movie ‘Timer’. People approach success and love in the same way. In the movie ‘Timer’, Oona O’Leary has a blank timer, a device inserted into the wrist that tells exactly when you will meet the love of your life. The only catch is that both people … Continue reading The Fear of Success →

  • The Grass on the Other Side

    I find it interesting how the grass is always greener on the other side. People always wish to know what the future holds, but still want the mystery. We crave the anticipation, the waiting and the anxiety. We want greener grass on the other side, because knowing that it is not steals the hidden hope … Continue reading The Grass on the Other Side →
