Severed

cut the Thread

       the ties that bind

never eternal

except in their unraveling

 

refuse the connection

resist the beginning

        that sees only the coming end

 

seize Fate

and take the chance

that All in its ending

is as it should be

Peace

Allow me the peace
That i find in my pain,
Offer no prayers for comfort;
For it is in this
That I know I’m alive,
And there is where
I find my strength.

The Forge

 

About a month ago I started hosting a weekly radio show on Indiana University Kokomo’s internet station, Radio Free Kokomo. I’ve been featuring the best unsigned/independent/underground local and regional rock and metal from Indiana and the surrounding states. What started as an hour long show with just over a dozen bands quickly became a 2 hour show with over 80 bands on the roster, and more submit everyday.

You can listen to The Forge for free at radiofreekokomo.org, airing every Thursday at 1PM EST.

You can check out The Forge on Facebook at facebook.com/theforgeradio

Thanks for listening.

The Storm

Chaos consuming
Colors collide
Capture the essence
Of being but not
All as one
And nothing defined
Rapture of reason
Unwritten by rhythm
Restless and reckless
Rending the senses

Gravity

An overwhelming sense of being

Weighing of this reality

The will to be

To live

To breathe

To die

Broken

And unmade

And settled by this gravity

 

A crowded emptiness

In the limitations of reason

A focused point of entropy

Expression becomes

Its own hallowed season

Forgotten in what used to be

 

What if?

Is and is not

Potential in its being

Manifest in the asking

Undone by its becoming

 

What I have

What I hold

All that I

Must let go

 

And in myself

Find myself free

Gone

Gone is the gold
that fell through my fingers
fleeting in its fullness
as I stared into sapphire skies.
I miss the kiss
of the pale moon
and the tender touch
of her gentle light
keeping me comfort
in my night.

A Thousand Miles

It starts the moment I turn away

and look to the horizon;

A world away it seems I feel

before I’m ever even gone.

A thousand miles,

forever from here to there,

every day away one day closer to you.

And after I’ve gone where I’m going

and done what I’ve had to do,

the road behind me comes around

and in that moment

I know

I’ll find my way

home again.
