FORGOTTEN POEM
This poem is not coming to me.
It was a fantastic idea.
Life-changing,
Timeline-altering idea.
I thought of it while
Running by a still lake.
It was something about loneliness.
How still water makes it bearable.
There is still water in love.
And loneliness when running.
Not always physical.
But running towards.
Or running from.
It was a good poem.
That I am sure of.
If only I could remember.
I thought of it while
Staring at a mountain.
It was something about…
Patience
Pressure.
How mountains are patient under infinity.
And the pressure of infinitely not existing.
Not always not existing.
But not not existing.
Or not existing.
It was a good poem.
That I am sure of.
If only I could remember.
I thought of it while
Walking through a cemetery.
It was something about a singular truth.
Could it exist?
How there is peace in death.
That chaos is a human invention.
Not always the only truth.
But running towards.
Or running from.
Not always the only truth.
But not not existing.
Or not existing.
It was a good poem.
That I am sure of.
If only I could remember.

Masquerade Party
At six feet seven inches tall and approximately two hundred fifty pounds, Samael presented an imposing figure when he walked into a room. His physical stature may be impressive, but his demeanor is the opposite. The shy, some might say, reclusive personality that he developed as a young boy followed him into manhood. His favorite job was crunching numbers in a quiet one man back office of a fiduciary firm. He was always polite, greeting his fellow workers with a “good morning” or “good afternoon” as he walked to the back of the office where his little hideaway was located, but never tried to engage in conversations.
