The continuous loop, where I know every turn,
Leaning inward at the slight curve,
All familiar, all easy, it’s all beginning to blur
Lap after lap of routine and automatic responses.
Trapped in the rut of this orbit –
Circling stability and comfort.
Too scared to put in the effort
To break free and be more. Continue reading “Rock Song – Speeding Toward Nothing – JG”

A Drive Through The Urban Jungle
Color washes away –
Vivid hues to grey scale blue
Sterile, mundane, blank Continue reading “Straightforward”

“Into the Abyss”
The sea giants balk at me,
Licking phosphorescent teeth.
My feet locked in and twisting,
Jockeying for positioning, Continue reading “Rock Song – Speeding Towards Nothing – SD”
Color Schemes – Lines
Blood lines,
Red lines,
Faded lines,
Love lines,
Life lines,
Life signs,
Vitals not so vital – suicidal?
Homicidal.
Lines that come together to create no characters, but it builds
Character.
I’m sorry for Scaring her. Continue reading “Color Schemes – Lines”
Baltimore Prose – Temple, Bottle, Athlete – SD
“This City is Our Temple”
Ramps and bridges vault overhead between soaring plate-glass buildings, mirroring the heavens, reflections of our own sense of wonder. Their steel bones and cement feet shield us from the wild night, when the demons come calling; nightmarish designs of flesh or mere shadows.

Color Schemes – Baltimore
Confusion in the face of Tragedy
So I get that this isn’t my normal modus operandi, but what the hell is going on? And I mean Hell: riots, violence, looting, and brick throwing. I live in the county not the city, but what the Hell, Baltimore? That’s not well written, but seriously: Since when does tearing a place down change anything for the better?

Color Schemes – Death
Strokes.
Splashes of color corrupt the clean canvas,
white – pure and blinding;
the light at the end of the tunnel we all deny we’ll someday reach.
Speech stopped and fear knocked, escorted by the man dressed in
black – it’s the total darkness that scares us.
What could ever prepare us for the unknown? Continue reading “Color Schemes – Death”
Shakespearean Sonnet – Loneliness – JG
Mistakes and Dishonor
I’m only lonely when I notice
Your absence in the wake of communication –
The sniper sharp focus
On our previous consociation. Continue reading “Shakespearean Sonnet – Loneliness – JG”
Shakespearean Sonnet – Loneliness – SD
Trivial Hostilities
Chillin’ at the bar and I feel isolated,
Surrounded by eyes who only see the surface.
Diving into my ocean, they’re saturated;
Afraid of the monsters lurking in the abyss. Continue reading “Shakespearean Sonnet – Loneliness – SD”
March’s Theme – and call for ideas!
Let’s be real for a moment. I’m getting kind of bored of coming up with themes every month. It’s not that I’ve run out of ideas; it’s really that I feel like my voice is drowning out any external potential for creativity. Continue reading “March’s Theme – and call for ideas!”
