Tendrils.

Reaching, digging in to pull myself up only to look skyward and find myself drawing deeper into this hole. Keep getting bound by thoughts I try to avoid. My group meetings teach me it's a though...

Rain

It is Monday morning and I'm sitting alone in my office, Florence & the Machine massaging my ears with "Blinding". I have some work to accomplish and some straightening up to do before my ne...

Struggling.

I am more tired than anything. Work lately has consumed my thoughts more because I have alot of pressure and no one else to take any of the work load. I hate it. We are looking for an assistant f...

sigh

Somedays I just feel so tired, struggling here in the office, working alone. My father offers to get me an assistant p.m. to deal with the work load and yet even this is too late. I hate this.

smoke signals

Sometimes I see things, symbols, gestures, quotes and I think its you. It gives me hope. Hope that you don't hate me.

submission

Behind the doors of places we shouldn't have shared are memories I can't help but replay. You bent in your own submission to me, eyes wide with hope and promise that I'd find that magnificent tr...

lest we forget

For one moment Your voice as it haunts my hallways Ghost whisper strong and steady Washing up memories we've tried to bury But no matter how deep I dig it won't ever deep enough And these hound...

In the starting blocks

sigh

Sitting here at work earky is the only reprieve I have from my busy day. Today is going to be a tough one. Things on my mind; my marriage mostly. Joey turns 5 tomorrow, he is getting so big. ...

quiet sunday evening

Kids are asleep. The sheer volume of activity the pair of them experienced today in our continuing effort to clear/tidy up the rear buffer zone of our property left them exhausted. They wouldn't ...

Quickly...

It is hard to believe that despite the wind's wailings that tomorrow will mark a 5 day stretch of warm (55+ degree) weather. I am even happier it starts on Friday and stretches through my weekend...

Sometimes

Snow

Last night there were forecasts of snow, 6-8". In the haze of the blowout that the Seahawks dealt to the Broncos I almost forgot to prepare for this. Luckily there was enough wood on the deck to ...

From the ashes.

Another small but important hurdle passed today. A trip to the hospital for outpatient surgery, my mother drove me as big would be under sedation and made for a return drive inadvisable. But it i...

Somedays

Some days it is easier than others. Today is one of those days, just trying to stay focused is a bitch. Much of me wants to escape/black out from my responsibility but I know I just can't. Need ...

A month away from my birthday as of today. Went to the lab and got my blood work done, for my own peace of mind and that of my wife's to rule out any STD's, despite being careful the entire time...

Birthdays

This is going to be the first time in a long time I won't be able to say happy birthday to her. Regardless of my wrongs we were friends before anything else. It pains me I can't even say happy bi...

Before dawn

Sitting at work now a half hour. It is 6:15am. I am here because I have no choice in getting things done, it is unfair one person must make these efforts alone to catch up and get work done. But ...
