Archibald Horsley was a quiet, unassuming fellow, in fact, he was very shy. Everyone who knew him liked him, but he didn't have any actual friends.At thirty years old, he was unmarried with no children. It wasn't that he had no interest in women, he did, but he just hadn't met any He wasn't tall, but then, he wasn't short either.He wasn't fat, nor was he thin.Neither smart nor untidy.In short, he was just Archibald Horsle...

When my world is darker than I can understand.When my sky turns gray with no light in sight.When nothing turns out the way, I've planned.When I can’t sleep at all, through the lonely night.I turn to you like a flower bends toward the sun.You can turn me around when I’m upside down.I turn to you ‘cause you’re the only one.When I need inspiration, when I need advice.When my insides are wracked with anxiety.You lift my spiri...

The following meditation on the whoosification of modern baseball was sparked by a recent trip to a swanky, new, air-conditioned major league ballpark. Now don't get me wrong, all these ritzy new major league baseball parks are nice, I suppose, but playing baseball in the boondocks has a special ambiance all its own. Back during one of my inglorious days at old, Knotty Pine High School, the baseball team, everybody called...

Life is a journey. We travel it's paths. Though not always easy. It's always adventuresome. Sometime feeling alone.Encountering many challenges and obstacles. Our goal is to reach a certain destination. Many of us have several goals to reach. Some will reach them all. Others will only reach a few. We must always keep in mind. New travelers will cross our path. Greet them with a smile.Some face the same obstacles we face....

The stranger He walks in the darkness Hiding in the back of my mind Always waiting for a small opening Ready to take over and command The fear of being alone Of loosing all hope Fighting for air in my lungs To pray for peaceful sleep Dreaming of a day full of sunshine Memories of being loved The pain of tomorrow The loneliness and fighting not to let go Taking one step at a time One day One hour One minute One second more...

Moonlight edged through the tree branches high overhead, as the wind howled through them bringing a sharp cold slap to her face. Darkness seeped under the canopy far above, shrouding the world in shadow. There was one small flicker of light that illuminated the cover that encased it.Her fingers grew numb, holding the iron candle holder. A dark blue candle for banishing glowed with enough light to illuminate her pale face,...

Your words are like knives Are they truthful or lies They just ruin lives Tears running from my eyesI know you're trying To pay these bills It’s really just the lying It’s really making me illI only go with what you say Then the calls eventually start This is really ruining my day It’s just breaking my heartThis is quite concerningTo be in the dark You really should be earning Another big question markI’m always left numb...

To whoever you areI can't promise you money,And I can't promise you comfort,But I can promise you a warm handWhen the darkness comesAnd a warm smileWhen all the world rages around us.

As I run through dark streets I can’t help looking back, Knowing my pursuer is about to attack. As I run these bloody streets I can’t stop to catch my breath, Can’t afford to get caught, not by this merchant of death. I’ve been running non-stop, for long years now, But I can’t stop, I have to outrun it somehow. My pursuer is crafty, it can take any form, So for me not trusting, had to become a norm. Mine is a daily strugg...

There are two kinds of evil men,There are two kinds of men,There are the evil men who think they are doing good,And there are the evil men who know they are doing evil.I am Cain who killed Abel.

The little thing crawls on the forest floor. It wraps itself within the jungle, Cloaked by the creepers. The skin ripples over its ribs As breath sighs from its mouth. A cocoon of darkness envelopes it. Wrapping around its skinny wrists, ankles. Grabbing its throat. Squeezing. He can’t speak, But his glowing eyes punch through the darkness, Illuminating the black blobs and smudges of the clearing. Pearly light emanates fr...

What place has gentlenessIn a world like this?What place has innocence?If you find it don't tell me.Don't tell anyoneKeep it a secret.For I live in a worldThat only knows violenceAnd I suspect deep downThis violence infects me too.

The darkness surrounds me Like a forest  Of black tree's  But In the clearing There is a light  That Shines Brighter than Bright  It shall guide me  So that I may fly Away from this place  Of despair  The Darkness is closing in I cannot stop it The light is fading I feel cold and lonely I am sinking into the  Pit of despair  I am lost in the darkness Now and forever

The Darkness is near  In the place  Between Sunset and Dusk The sun is sinking Below the Horizon Like a ship at sea Or a body at rest  going into the ground But Do not fear  The Darkness is near It cannot hurt a soul  quite the opposite  One is safe In the solitude  Of the dark

Why does it have to be me? You lie in bed asleep, While I sit in a dark corner,Petrified of my own thoughts. I can't sleep because you'll be there.  Slowly I slip into madness. Pounding my head against the wall, Screaming at the shadows in my closet. Why can't anyone hear me?! Why will no one listen?! I just want to sleep. I just want to live my life without the fear of seeing you again. Then everything goes silent. I'm s...
