Can You Forgive?

I can be just washing the dishes, writing, or working, and the thought creeps in like a thief.

“The CarpetBagger”

You were a brother to me. But you treat me like number two. You rage to hear the truth. So I soothe you with dumb words. You pat yourself on the back, To you, I'm a second-class citizen.

Up & Down, Side to Side

...Up and down. Side to side. Rebuilding oneself. Anew does exist. Up and down. Up and down. Side to side. His mercies are new every day. Up, down. Up down. Side to side.

What Is Your Creative Writing Process, Writer?

What inspires you to write: poetry, lyrics, blogs, short stories, micro-fiction, fiction, non-fiction, etc.? I'll bulletproof mine below. It's not detailed because that would take me a book.
