Forethoughts on the Aftermath

Forethoughts on the Aftermath

As the flame
Flickers and shines
That soft glow
It creates dancing
Silhouettes upon the page
You dip your
Pen of thoughts
Into the well of ideas
To give birth
To those words of feelings
On this thin wood
You empty all that
You have placed
And hidden in that
Bloody muscle of yours
Everything you thought
To be true and
Know to be right
Was spewn upon?
The paper
As if the artist
Was splattering his
Aggression and angst
Of color onto canvas
Soon the ink
Became swirled
With the salty
Fluid of weeping eyes
And then you write a
Word which opens
Your eyes
And gave you being
Your spirit is lifted
As you tip
The candle over the page
The wax drips
With certainty
To create your seal
Your seal of life

Who is daring to open it?

I came across a box this day
Its contents:
An old charming picture frame
And only this picture
Will fit
Our photograph
We both can see it
So perfect, so complete
But only one can place it there
It is up to Him
Our photographer

Automobile

Automobile

You took off so fast
Where are you going?
As you look in your mirror
What is behind?
Now look ahead
Do you see those signs?
They are there
Open your eyes
Or you will crash
And when you do
I’ll be here
As I’ve always been
Even before the day
You left

Abandoned Heaven

Abandoned Heaven

We come through
An earthly portal
Into this world
Of pain, of suffering
Heartaches and death
But amidst all this
From time to time
We see a glimpse
Of whom we came from
Yet we voluntarily blink
It away into non-existence
And when we do
The day turns cold
And starts to rain
Tears of loneliness and sadness

Stoled

This is stoled from my sister. I will continually update this blog with random facts about me. My goal would be to compile these facts and place them in paper form.


1. My alter ego is Burly Mulligan.

2. I am quite impulsive.

3. The first Valentine's day I shared with my wife, I bought her black boots and we went and saw mewithoutYou. My wife wore the boots (they had heels) in the crowd. It was an awesome sight for me.

4. When I am seriously and extremely mad, I am intensely quiet....and often times I won't to break something.

5. I know that I am intelligent. Often, I feel too smart to do things like study and read for class. I am a good test taker and can quickly study before tests and fare well, provided if I have been going to class. If not, then I'm screwed.

6. My son is changing me.

7. Here is a sad one: I am pretty sure that my mom cheated on my dad, I would assume because of the choices he had made.

8. Seborrrhea is on the same scale as leprosy, the opposite end. I have it.

9. My first real kiss was when I was 18 on the night of the day I graduated.

10. I seriously could not ask for better in-laws.

11. I recently just learned to ride my bike without holding on to the handles. If I could, that is how I would always ride.

12. The above image is one of my favorites- and I made it myself.

13. My favorite book is The Giver, by Lowis Lowry.

14. I spent a year at a private Christian university. It would have been nice to finish there, but I do not regret not doing so.

15. I am a twin, love it and could not imagine anything else.

I have a blog.
