  • Tsunamis In the Waning Light Of A Touchscreen


    They like to say no man is an island-
    But I feel the tides a-rising-

    On every shore-
    We have isolation-
    Pouring in waves across our electronics-
    And we call ourselves connected-
    Surrounded by people-
    Isolated through a feed-
    Lose access to the streams-
    And watch the beaches erode-
    As the waves crash in.

    They like to say no man is an island-
    But I feel the tides a-rising.

  • "Fool's Errand"



    I sent my heart out looking
    Searching the world for what I could not see
    I sent my heart out for you, woman
    Chasing something that could never be

    I thought it could catch your love
    That it could run down that elusive ghost
    I sent my heart out for you
    Chasing what I wanted the most

    I set my mind upon you
    Invested my soul
    Sacrificed my flesh
    Chasing fairy-tales and half remembered dreams
    Chasing legends and myths
    Chasing an idea
    An idea that left me breathless

    It was a fool's errand
    Love can never be caught
    It is inside you
    Or it's not

  • A star wept

     great tears of fire

      and radioactive sobs

       spasm'd across the void

        its pain memorialized

         for as long as its light races

          toward the end that never comes

  • Destinations

    Once a person was going to set out on a mandated journey.  It was to be fraught with peril and adventure.  The person wanted to pick a navigator to guide them along the way.  

    The first applicant was Corazón, who said "I will take you in pursuit of the greatest treasures of joy through the darkest valleys of pain and longing".  

    The second applicant was Lei Yau, who said "I will choose a course in pursuit of the goal.  We will travel with economy and directness, unforeseen problems will be addressed logically and quickly so you will arrive on time".

    The third applicant was Âme, who said "I will guide you to the greater mysteries, and I will make no guarantees as to what we will find when we finally arrive, but you will be a better person for the experience".  

    The next applicant was Hada, who said "On this journey we will live off the land and take what we desire.  Instincts will direct us to whatever pleasures the journey has to offer and we will do whatever it takes to survive in the interim".  

    The final applicant was Шанс, who said "I will guide you by wind, by star, by wave.  Should we come to a crossroads whatever grabs my eye will be the turn we take, even if it means turning back from whence we came.  Coincidence and fancy will be part and parcel of our itinerary and where we end up and what we will gain is a spin of the wheel".  

    Only knowing this the person must choose who will guide them.  Will it be heart, reason, spirit, flesh or luck that leads the way?

    "There are days when solitude is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall".  Colette, Earthly Paradise, 1966

    "He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must either be a beast or a god".   Aristotle, Politics, c. 350 BCE

    @islefaye - I got hooked into W.O.W. last year and fell out of it with all that happened. But I don't hate it nearly as much now, I can play without being depressed, so there's the danger of addiction again.

    I haven't tried WOW yet, but my son that's in college plays it some. For me it's Ultima Online and my beautiful house, things, and millions in gold lol. Shopping in game is cool because I can't spend that kind of money irl lol.

    If you could be the divine source of some aspect of reality, what would you be the god of? The Periodic Table, or matter (as opposed to vacuum), or if it's something like a patron saint: St. Christopher - Travel, or Norse mythology Loki - Mischief, or tradition St. Agnes' Eve when a woman discovers

    If it had one, what would your life's current theme song be? It does - I composed it myself, called "I'm Already Dead" a rough midi sequence draft version to download

    I don't think I will make it. Depends on work though. Things have been rough since Ginger left.
