Endless apologies for reasons unknown,
Offered up continuously to a hollow throne,
Countless attempts to atone even though,
As you reign, this servitude enslaves me.
Where will self-imposed exile take me? Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #122 – Kings and Courts and Clowns”

Accepting the past
is not the same as being
bound to its burdens.

How to Get into the Rhythm of Writing
Hear that stuttered beat? It’s intriguing, hopeful.
You don’t quite know where the song is going until after the 8-measure intro, and the full beat kicks in (after another mini intro).
That’s what writing is like sometimes. It’s difficult to sit down and just start typing or scribbling away all the time. That’s what NaNo has been like for me so far this month. Continue reading “How to Get into the Rhythm of Writing”

Moonlit Musing – Vulnerable
Surrender to the swell –
The crescendo of emotion,
In one moment focus,
On all the beauty and all the bad.
Let it rip you apart;
Let it put you together. Continue reading “Moonlit Musing – Vulnerable”
A Hundred Thousand Souls: PVRIS’s Second Album Elevates their Sound
All We Know of Heaven, All We Need of Hell, PVRIS’s second album, is perhaps my favorite new album this year. While it feels less emo-core and more electronic than White Noise, PVRIS still delivers hard-hitting music with even more piercing lyrics. Continue reading “A Hundred Thousand Souls: PVRIS’s Second Album Elevates their Sound”
Misplaced Missive #149 – Faith
Single minded devotion,
Don’t question, just focus,
All your everything on,
Something that may not exist.
Blind faith is bliss,
How dare I doubt this? Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #149 – Faith”
Haiku Sunday – Music

Passing songs around
like melodious vignettes
of our cosmic dreams.
