Welcome my blog. The intention is to publish every piece of writing that I have churned out for the past 10 years. Some pieces have a story behind the story, some lyrical poems have become songs. We have hundreds of poems, stories, songs, lyrics, and life musings. Subscribe and every Monday receive a story to start off your week. Art is created by Amina & AI.
A failed suicide is like jumping out of
the window of a basement apartment.
While there would be an obvious a lack
of real commitment,
friends and family would still gather
at the scene to participate in what
would certainly be thought of as
a moment of profound existential grief.

He was the strong silent type.
When he spoke , his comments
where short, to the point and meaningless.

Should there be any type of “journey” of consequence
it is not to any distant land, as titillating
and mesmerizing as such journeys may be.
It is the immeasurably more dangerous
journey Inward
that is the most scintillating and
simultaneously guaranteeing
of reward.
