Much of what is written here is poetry, but there are prose pieces interspersed, all written by Michael Wayne Holland. Also, there are blog entries from further back about living with post traumatic stress disorder. Full range of topics are fleshed, much based on life experiences, and much observed and imagined. I believe there is an internal truth to the writings, fiction or non-fiction.

Defilement
* This poem had to be exactly 8 lines long and had to be about pain from a heartbreak. So this is my entry. Please know, that this is not necessarily about me.
Defilement
Tension wraps like a coil that encircles and chokes
my defiled consciousness, the histrionic shouts of love
perjured as you trounce and squash severed nerves
like a buzz saw chewing through tree logs…
I can adjust to heartbreak, that the relationship
has run its course, that I shall never gaze
into your sapphire eyes smoldering in lavish light…
What destroys my soul is in knowing you crave him.
