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.
Gifted people are inherently lazy
Perspective has that effect.
If they accomplish anything it will be through the
Valiant labour of others who have just enough talent
to grasp the vision And just enough sense and forbearing
to appreciate the Wack A Mole Bitch Slap of flagrant impertinence.

Not wanting to know should not be conflated with not knowing.
There is no salvation from not wanting to know.
Wings for those who do.
Derek Earl Houghton
It was a mystery.
How he died.
Nurses clustered around his body,
A neurosurgeon in a white lab coat
hovered over him, like a dove.
After some discussion and a number of tests,
it was determined the cause of death
was solitude.
The self imposed type of solitude
A solitude for which there is no cure.
