The Muse

Short Story or Novella Idea.

What if you could go back in time and inspire Hitler to greatness as an artist, would you?

What if you could go back in time and inspire Castro to greatness as a baseball player?

What if you could go back in time and inspire Charles Manson to Greatness as a Musician?

What if by doing these things you could change the world for the better?

What if doing so was illegal? Would you still do it?

What if it meant the end of the world as you knew it? Would you still do it?

What would you sacrifice to make the world a better place?

Resolve, not Resolution

I resolve to once a week write a poem, a fragment or some form of writing to this my blog every week. In the hopes that through persperation, my inspirition shall return.

My Muse, my muse, I set you free in the hopes that you will fly back to me.

When Passion fails,
when the blank page mocks you,
Resolve is all.

When my Muse Spoke to Me

Please speak to me again.

A poem written when I was much younger, it still whispers to me.

Hearts in Darkness


A crimson wind sings in the darkness,
Snuffs out the candle of your life.
You have only one heart to be broken,
Only one match against the night.

We live on the edge of the darkness,
Afraid to step into the light.
Love is the dream we have spoken,
Whispers against the twilight.

We are drawn to the darkness within,
Like butterflies to burning flames.
We smile while consumed by our sins,
As the darkness claims another slave.

I have visited the darkness,
I have seen the price of fear.
I have yielded to the darkness,
I have tasted the bitter fruit there.

Is not all life temptation?
Are we all not sinners here?
We need no invitation; the darkness is always there.

Who among us can absolve us?
Who can take away our fear?
We must rule temptation; the darkness is always there.

I stand-alone against the darkness,
Against the solitary night.
I seek to swallow back my fear,
To do that which is right.

I stand alone on the edge, the forest beckons me in.
I use your love as my strength against the power of my sins.

If you weren't here I would have been lost,
You are my pilot, my beacon, my soul.
You make life worth living no matter the cost,
Without you I would falter and fall.

Never leave me in the darkness,
Never leave me here alone.
You are my reason for existence,
You alone can save my soul.

We stand two hearts against the darkness,
We will never be alone.

Two hearts in darkness, who will never be alone.

We Sold our Souls for Rock and Roll

You Are a Freedom Rocker!

You're stuck in the 70s - for better or worse
Crazy hair, pot soaked clothes, and tons of groupies
Your kind showed the world how to rock
Is that freedom rock?... Well turn it up man!

I'm a Wayfarer Guide, baby...

The Wayfarer Guide
- You Are The Wayfarer Guide

"I'll show you the way."


Your deep insight and quick wisdom never ceases to
amaze those around you. You are the guiding
light for many of those you know and are not
afraid to help anyone else who asks. Not very
many acknowledge your tremendous help and
effort, but you do not mind that so much.
You've seen what is in store for them, and will
be there should they need your help. You enjoy
people in general, but are very selective of
who you let see the real you. Others see you as
an enigma of sorts, a mystery that is seemingly
ever changing.

Ravenclaw am I

Ravenclaw
You are a RAVENCLAW!

As a Ravenclaw and as an NFP, you value
imagination, ideas and intelligence. You are
probably somewhat of an individualist and avoid
conforming just for its own sake. You are
insightful and perceptive, and since you are
empathetic and value harmony, you usually try
to avoid conflict. Of course, you may enjoy
participating in heated debates, but only as
long as they remain on an intellectual level
and not a personal level. In general, you are
open-minded and curious, and set high standards
for yourself.
