Fading

Words fade fast.
Skills disappear.
Memories fade.

I knew it would happen,
But it came too soon.
I thought I had more time.

I should consider myself blessed,
But I am scared.
I see my fate.

A chair with wheels,
A life gone,
Mourning the me I can no longer be.

You watch my light flicker.
Slowly, it fades,
Threatening to go dark.

I am sorry.
This isn’t what I wanted to be.
This isn’t what you agreed to.

My scars are hidden,
Speckled through the most important parts of me,
The parts I cherished most.

God, have pity on me.
I tried so hard to be good.
Please tell me you saw it.
Please tell me you forgive me.

I am a shell of who I used to be.
Is this all I can be now?
Is this my life?

Still hard to believe . . .

It's been a year since Adam "MCA" Yauch died at age 47 after a battle with salivary gland cancer. We'll be blasting "B-Boy Bouillabaisse" today as we look

How crypto’s mighty have fallen.

Two weeks ago, Sam Bankman-Fried was seen as the respectable face of crypto. It all went up in smoke. Here's how.

Need a taste before taking the plunge? Never fear, another sample of the work is here! 🙂

Minneapolis

On a desolate urban terrain, littered with brittle leaves,
Nothing but despair and depression hang from the trees.
There is no sense of happiness that arises in this place,
Other than brilliance that radiates from her glowing face.
The only beauty that can melt this harsh winter’s snow,
Allowing the faintest of my ideas to mature and grow.

As her sun illuminates the dreary ways of my winter,
She sheds light upon the darkness of these dueling phases;
the Where each day may begin with a wind, cold and bitter,
Until her shine emits the sweltering heat of summer hazes.
As each season mutates daily and transforms into another,
Her rising and setting only decays the soul of her lover.

I can no longer bear to behold the reticent sun’s rays,
Or the corrupt seasons which halt my dragging days;
I dream now only for the bliss that I may never concede,
Desiring simply to someday hold her liveliness in my hand.
Sternly exposing dreary secrets that only she could understand;
For without her shine, my days, my ideas, will surely recede.

Artists We're Into - Edgar Allen Poe

We know, we know. He's been dead for more than 150 years. But with Halloween right around the corner, what better time than to give props to the writer who made dark poetry popular? Since Poe's work has long been in the public domain (more on this to come . . .), it's very easy to get your hands on a copy of his work. In fact, it used to be required reading back when we were in high school. And with classics ranging from "The Raven" or short stories such as "The Tell-Tale Heart," it would be hard not to find something by Poe that suits your style.
