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 rather lovely young woman I once dated told me I was adorable.
I was quick to disavow her of this notion.
The burden of adorable is too great a yoke to put upon my shoulders.
I am even less a selfish, pugnatious rougue, but it would be my preference to be
known as such.
I prefer a low bar to a high one, for my feet need never leave the ground.
It has been said
Hell is other people.
Life experience
however,
brings into
the sharpest focus ,
that,
Heaven is
other people
as well.
Things start to go off the rails when one starts to think their reality is everyone’s reality.
