  • No more Romance

    I can remember the sparkle in your eyes when you would see me walking towards you. I can remember your body glistening in the moonlight and feeling the heat of your mouth…waves in the background and time on our side.

  • Lydia, Groucho, Anthony and a Dog Named Ike

    There is a fading sense that comes upon us suddenly. Sort of like a song ending, a sunset over a lake after a long day outside or a storm that ends and leaves us with a cooler air and rays of sunlight to dry the dirt roads and the trees, bushes and grass. Decorations hanging…

  • Another Life and Time

    “Where, when, how?” I ask. “I don’t know, but here we are. I was watching you walk, babe, and you don’t look like the Freddy I remember.” “I am not the Freddy you remember. People have all turned out to be false gods prayed to by the lost. Pretense and self promotion is all the…

  • How Dreams Come True – The Lost Tape of Freddy’s First Single

    I always wanted to be a rock star. I wasnt blessed with the ability to play an instrument – although I tried more than several times with guitar, piano and harmonica. I just couldn’t do it. I am sure if I had the time now as a physical adult I would find that (very) hidden…

  • The Professional Clown

    Originally written in September-October 2013. Re-posted as part of throwback Thursday.  There was this old man who used to stop by the Diner where I worked. Each morning at exactly ten-thirty on the dot he would come in; he would look me in the eyes and nod. I would then give him a cup of…

  • The 5310 Testament Chapter 4

    If love is indeed infinite in one sense or another; is it possible that time and love are constant? That love surrounds us from a time and place that is no longer tangible in our minds – but in our hearts we reach out our hand to be held, we long for the embrace and…

  • The 5310 Testament Chapter 3

    So, the old lady, looking better than myself I might add – decided to have me evicted and took over the house since it was in her name still. I didn’t care, if anything i felt like a prisoner being released from a life sentence. The only problem was a lack of funds. When I…

  • The 5310 Testament Chapter 2

    She paused and then looked at me. “I need my time back. I am running out of it – I was given all these years and I wasted them..” She stood up to leave, “I need to go…”

  • The 5,310 Testament Chapter 1

    “Hey Freddy is this seat taken?” That smile, still slays me after so many years. The coffee, the muffins, egg salad on whole grain, a large water bottle, another cup of coffee and a late afternoon large chocolate chunk cookie; they continued to be presented to me along with emotional confessions of fears, guilt, lust,…
