Suicidal tendencies grasp you in their hold The icy knife of terror gleams so steely cold. And yet, you wait, hoping that the answer might arrive at any time. But your mind is a blur of nothingness.

Wild Wherecats By Randy James Hoffman
Wild wherecats jumping playing cat and mouse, Wild wherecats reaching far into the house. I would offer them a cats eye stone if I thought it would help. So they don't scratch the furniture and floors with their claws. I find that wherecats are easily startled, if you give them a boo. They let out … Continue reading Wild Wherecats By Randy James Hoffman

3/4 Time By Barbara Ellyn
My denial keeps crashing, fear nears I edge away, software tears here dears. Gravity - bad. Cascades worse, mere tears. Yet, frantic for ground, wings clipped, hobbled wound and scars. Can’t waste my pain despairing. Gone years. Truth abandons what’s proper. Steers clear. Facts matter less and heart more - have cheer. Flee to yourself. … Continue reading 3/4 Time By Barbara Ellyn
