Stained

Stained Path I tread. Stained with memories… good and bad. Stained bad because mistakes and missed opportunities. Stained good with the misery of knowing never more. Neither stains appear to me to help me in my expanding despair. I shall die, stained with who I was, nothing!

Arrival

…Means I’m here! 

HA – Then again it could

mean something along the 

lines of close encounter,

or ET. Who really knows

what “arrival” signifies,

but we can guess it 

does not mean departure
— unless we are 

in an antiverse.

Unforgiving Brain

Rememberance upon waking 

eyes. No! How can this be so?

Am I alone in this grandure. 

I recalled yesterdays truth – 

tarnished w/ out life’s semblance

of reality. Flashes behind eyes 

closed. Did it happen like that, 

not if given a lid’s flicker. I did it,

I can’t deny, it is on my unforgiven

brain not blurred even w/ repetitive blinks.
