Mr. Mackenzie

Ten years before the most noted of quests Upon the northern forts a single candlelight fire Thrown carelessly forth with a word of the west Following disappointment river to an ocean undesired Studying longitude measurements passed Caught further daydreams of Cook Inlet back then Ten left to their own found further success Crossing great divides by the route of the Peace Friends held off advance,…

Winepress

Grapes in the winepress, the treader falls Suffering to drink from the barrels’ well Cupped to the brim, overflowing sublime Dissidence saved up, crushed into wrath-wine In the middle bewildered, no thought escapes you My heart proclaiming “Peace, Peace” while treating severed limbs Leaching out another pint, burning out again (Lifeless wood, rock, metal, water, air and light Neither good nor…

Pale Horses

One of my favorite bands is mewithoutYou. I first heard their music when I was just beginning to expand my music, and they would become a big part of my metal/hard rock days of high school and college. As they’ve grown and expanded their musical style, I’ve grown along with them; each album they release lends itself easily to my ear and my soul, hitting chords and thoughts that deeply affect me.…

Moments Of Music

There are some moments in music that just feel good. It’s a nearly indescribable feeling that hits you right in the chest, traces invisible fingers up and down your spine, leaving your mind with the monosyllable reaction of “wow.” Though sometimes it causes me two syllables in a phrase not really fit for children (i.e. hell yeah, etc). Here are ten of these moments that just get me, in no…

The Skewed Effective

When the strongest of men fall down, What hope is there that I can stand? In my dreams I return to my days in college Fooling lines and thoughts to make use for my ego Hooking barbs to sinkers, arranging rod & staff To catch the finest birds. When fantasy was reaped from memories of Newspaper clippings and catalogs not meant for me The skewed effective needs and wants sold many nights Of misery…

The Architect

It’s like the red hot burn of a filament bulb On a finger too young to see despair, But when the pain erupts from imagined betrayal Old skin makes way for new. Unfinished back room swingset too small to hold As wrinkled flesh died in the revolution of full healing, The thumping beats of shirts and hand towels Keep steady words in line. My father said “You’re much too sensitive.” As I cried in…

Ten Pages (A Short Story)

My dearest Eleanor*,

If only you could fully know how pleased I am having received a letter from you! The vast silence of my residence in this city of perpetual busyness has nearly driven me mad, and dug new trenches in the depths of my melancholy. Yet an angel of light has delighted to reach down into the darkness of my heart with words of incredible kindness. O dear sister of mine, my saving…

Meh

Meh http://wp.me/sonPD-meh

Some days are inexplicably labelled under the “meh” category.

There is no other way to put it, honestly. You wake up in the morning, with everything feeling pretty all right, and the moment you get out of bed the feeling sets in to the depths of the heart. You just don’t care to be out of bed, going about your day, getting dressed, eating food, going to work. It’s just not logical.

Such an odd…

This is the fundamental sin of Israel – Israel the son and Israel the bride – this is YOUR fundamental sin - the sin of idolatry, the sin of spiritual adultery. Sin so much worse than lying, cheating, stealing, or even committing literal adultery. It is betraying a wonderful husband and generous father in exchange for other lovers who will only destroy you in the end.
