Melancholy

Melancholy is
A tempest of destruction
Rolling through your mind

Begins

Ecstasy Begins
All my frustrations released
Storms retreat quickly

Crucifier of Dreams

Crucifier of Dreams




The tiniest of thoughts, creeping in, churning, whispering

GET OUT evil temptress, destroyer of happiness, crucifier of dreams

I must block you, slay you with logic, battle you with elastic grace

I am not yours to conquer; not yours to control or own


tap tap tap

You persist in your attempts to break through


tap tap tap

The edges of my resolve begin to fray


tap tap tap


I am stronger than this, wiser than this pariah

My will can only be bent, not broken

Any soul I possess is mine alone


Do not think that my blinking means you are winning

Do not think that my kindness is an avenue of explotation

The sword that I grasp is only cloaked, not missing


Stand back creeping thought, destroyer of happiness

My world is not meant for your destruction


Turn around crucifier of dreams, pariah of life

My world is about to envelope you, block you,

keep you at arms length from all others


You now see my power, my control


Your path of destruction will end

You will no longer tap on my soul


Your whisper will forever fall onto deaf ears

End of the World

Nightmares

Hopes and dreams are swift
as nightmares burn behind our retinas;
clawing their way forward,
reveling in our inner fears.

Darkness moves slowly:
enveloping, swarming, choking
 all the light out;
enveloping, swarming, choking
'til one ray of light remains.

A ray of light beckons ahead
drawing a line through the dark;
whispering, calling us forward,
sweeping a path to save us
from the clutches of despair.

Indo-Sou Shrimp Po-Boy

Okay so the Shrimp are not fried, and their is no remoulade sauce, but I was inspired by both the Shrimp Po-boy, my love of Indian spices, my dislike of frying things and what was available in my cabinet/Fridge (which is minus mayonnaise). 

I started off by first making a Crushed Pistachio Rub.  I combined crushed pistachios, minced garlic, cumin, cilantro, Indian chili powder, lime juice, salt and pepper together with a tiny bit of olive oil.  I used the rub on some shrimp and set it aside for about five minutes.  In a pan I sauteed some chopped green onions in some olive oil.  I added the shrimp and rub to the pan and sauteed until cooked.

Next, I proceeded to dice all the shrimp and pour the pan sauce/rub mixture on top and stir them all together to create a shrimp salad:

Finally, I spread some Champagne Maple Mustard onto a biscuit and spooned some of the Shrimp Salad on top to complete my Indo-Sou Shrimp Po-Boy:
