Ruminations, Poems, Lyrics, Observations

Cranialcircus.com is the medium for my musings, meditations, and memories.

It is my therapy, my catharsis and my creative outlet.

Fleeting thoughts, ruminations, poems, lyrics and observations enter my skull space as the stoic face of Barnabas Collins watches me from my drawing room wall.

Barnabas Collins Dark Shadows

Thank you for taking the time to dance in my Cranial Circus.
