Bio
born in Illinois. 5 year Navy veteran. Married for 25 years (not counting the first five when we just cohabited. 4 kids, 6 grandkids, 3 brothers 2 living, 2 sisters 1 living, a mother living, a father not living. 1 dog a labradoodle, and a current cat population of 9 (I'm working on that number) I've done a lot of jobs in my life, from shill at a carnival burlesque show to making medium caliber ammunition. I built inkjet printers, embedded computer boards, restored and repaired both cars, motorcycles and electronics. I read, write, and do arithmetic (albeit poorly) My wife claims that I have more useless knowledge than anyone on earth and resultingly no one will play trivial pursuit with me anymore. I do play pinohcle but due to my inability to cheat I don't win very often. Recently disabled I turned to Open Salon to re-engage my writing bug. Update, cat population now at 3. homes found for kittens. Update two add one cocker spaniel to the list and maybe just shoot me.

Vicious Cycle

Rate: 10 Flag

bitter bile slithers

across my dripping chin

anger seethes and rages

as my life slowly bends

 

Foul despair goads

a violent response

clattering blades sound as all hope is lost

Frigid rain chills

 

the spiderweb within

steaming hate and horror

once again begins

burn it all down

 

Smoking ruin

of a life

wasted on nothing

just spite

Words and what we can make them express do come in handy now and then eh?

Rated for the darker shades on the color wheel of life.

I rated this because of the art of your words. I hope you are getting through this bad part...not that any of it is good.

Breathe out the bad, breathe in the good. It's hard to do, take your time.

It is amazing that you can find a way to create such beauty from dark chaos.......

at times
clouds come in
to cast a shadow
between the sun or the moon
to give the eyes
and the soul
a rest
from upheaval
and perchance
to dream.

Wow. Like that - so goth! Happy 2012, Bob! (Adding to the irony!) ;)
