Foreword
All work and no play
is the beginning of a famous line out of the Stephen King movie The Shining. Countless people everywhere have either started conversations with those words and or they have answered questions with those popular words. People have even finished the quote either in its true written sense and or in their own creative way. The usual reaction is an agreeable smirk, chuckle or nod in return.
I believe those words wholeheartedly. All work and no play make ‘me’ a dull boy (in this case). We all get caught up in the stresses and demands of our commitments, whether career, marriage, family or whatever. It’s the human condition. It’s the very core of success in our society today, unless you were born with a golden spoon in your mouth or possess last week’s winning lottery ticket. Since I have never seen a golden spoon, let alone was born with one in my mouth and I do not play the lottery because I can waste what little money I have on something that will bring me a more consistent source of enjoyment, I subscribe to the everyday stresses and demands.
And I feel them. And I live them…in vivid detail and color.
As my son Mike would say and I quote him frequently, Sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you.
Well, I know I am in the majority of society whose current challenges have disrupted plans, careers, lives and such. I am also in the majority of society that would say The bear has gotten way too much of me and I no longer have an ass left for it to chew.
Thank God I don’t write with my ass.
Although I admit, I have been accused a number of times, again with the majority of society, of thinking with my ass. I am sure that the people closest to me will back up that statement.
The good news is that our infamous bear has chewed my ass away so I cannot be accused of doing that anymore.
The bad news is that now I don’t think at all…
Kidding aside, this collection of poetry really hits home with the issues that have taken control in today’s world. The paradigm has shifted from what was once normal…each past decade had its foundations of normalcy…and now we accept the fact that the paradigm for normal has shifted to include high doses of stress and low doses of sleep (and income). Much of the poetry includes a stress of some kind, making it a little easier to relate in such a hard, cold world.
The collection also showcases several writings that have brought people to tears…hence the tissues reference in the title. We all know that our lives are nowhere near Disneyesque or anywhere close to being fairytale. We also know that not everything in a hard, cold world is hard and cold. The intense sensitivities of society have been running rampant for decades as well. It’s ironic, sure, when one says that a hard, cold unfeeling world is indeed a highly passionate and emotional world as well. But it’s true. Our world is a world of extremes that includes everything else imaginable in between. Maybe we are so much more in tune with our sensitivities since we are also so much more involved with the distant world we all share.
The Miss Yous aspect of the collection is just simply the human condition when discussing loneliness. I believe we all need somebody to be with, to hold, to comfort, to talk…we all need someone to help disarm our stresses before we explode. We all deal with it differently, but somewhere somehow we all must deal with it. The Miss Yous are about just that, missing someone so desperately needed. It doesn’t matter in what capacity: friend, partner, spouse whatever. The feeling is always within us, whether worn on our sleeve or suppressed.
All work and no play…
certainly was/is a running theme in my life…until I became jobless. But following some time to get your mind, body, and spirit back to health, I also realized just how hard it truly is to find a job. Now those words are the same, but with an altered meaning…I may not have work per se, but it sure is ‘all work’ to even find a job now…one that is fulfilling!
Enjoy the collection and all the best !
The Hurt
arrival of a new day
committed to a change
open my eyes
witnessed more pain
whatever possesses you to do this
grow those evil thoughts
total disregard for my feelings
confrontation and caught
no penance strong enough
for what you put my heart through
I live to exact revenge
my peace will be in torturing you
how could you?
speak to why…
how would you?
make me cry..
after all the trust
and faith I have cultivated
suddenly taken away
and made more complicated
trust me when I say
with this focused look on my face
that you will feel infinitely worse
than what you made me feel in this place…
in this place called hell.
Nothing There
the innocence arrived today
no idea where it had originated
but it came with fanfare upon arrival…
didn’t fully understand
the questions masked any possible answers
about any future survivals…
with all of the struggles
that so dominated each night’s darkness
it’s such a trail of fruitless
