The morning sun rises, In the horizon. Sit by the window, Looking outside. Birds chirping happy songs. Thinking if she is awake.   Images of her stretching, lazily in bed. A smile forming, on her sweet lips. As she opens her beautiful, brown eyes.   Start the day of her, morning routine. Prepares her coffee before, She carefully picks a dress. Humming as she gets ready. For her morning shower.   Water running along her bo...

You know what's funny? How easy it is to give up on something you cared so much about. You constantly tell yourself that you could never give up that something, whether it be a hobby, a loved one, or even yourself. The last is surprisingly easy though, a few blows to your ego and...                                                                                               POW!                                           ...

Did you see me, As I walked numb though life? I saw you. Did you see me, While the world spun out of control? I saw you. Did you see me, Sitting at my desk slumped form? I saw you.

I saw you.   Did you see me, As you walked down to receive your degree? I saw you.   Did you see me, Driving to the weddin...

Did you see me at Ireland Army Hospital, Having wheelchair races? I saw you. Did you see my deep and burned head wounds, Laying next to the dying? I saw you. Did you see me on the T.W.A. flight, Flying home tired, scared, depressed and alone?  I saw you. Did you see my parents in the crowd, Proud and happy to to have their boy home? I saw you.

Humpty Dumpty and Three Little Pigs caught the Old Woman in the Shoe, They knocked her and bopped her until they were stopped by a Little Boy Blue. Where have all the nursery rhymes gone? What has up-ended their reign? Was it radio or TV? Or insidious video games?   Baa, Baa, Black Sheep, have you any pull? Is it MTV or X-Box that replaced all your wool? Where have all the jump ropes gone? What has taken their place? Hops...

I have walked the path of the ancient ones. Each step made me stronger. Wiser. Fearless. I don’t suffer the antics of fools. Nor do I tolerate the pretense of substance. Heavy is the granite of my principals. Cracked by forces meant to weaken me. Wedges are afforded to few family and friends. Flexible to blood and love. Yet firm in my resolve to stay the course. The ancient ones pass through me. Or more likely I pass thro...

I saw you. I saw all of you. Walking in the sunlight. Without cover. As if you were immune to harm. Believing that bad things only happen to others. All the while from the shadows danger lurks. Lying just behind the line between light and dark. Where I am. Waiting. The shadows are my home. The night is my friend. While others sleep impervious to thoughts of threat, I survive in a storm. I saw you. I saw all of you. And I...

My wife is perfect as you can see; An upturned nose, very pretty. She cooks, she cleans, she rings my bell, But it’s her drawers that I love so well.   My wife’s drawers are a sight to behold, A tale to you that must be told, Of things so secret and forbidden, The contents of which are usually hidden.   My wife’s drawers are like a menagerie Of playing cards and gold jewelry; Gum and matches are way down deep, Buried unde...

All creatures are the will of HEAVEN. It started from the ancient time to elongate till now. How much can the earthling gain or lose? HEAVEN commands it all. Does HEAVEN truly understand all kinds of distress? Why does HE not to guide the earthling? Why do the ordinary people never obtain the basic request? We are merely a simpleton or a dreamer. Why does HE not let us move a half step further? Can HE show us a tiny mercy...

  A young man muttered at his bad luck and penniless situation.   He frowned all the days. A wise senior came across to talk to him, ‘Hey kiddy, why are you so unhappy?’ ‘I don’t understand why I’m so poor always!’ he said. ‘Poor ? I think you are very wealthy!’ the wise senior said sincerely. The young man was puzzled,  ‘Why are you talking like that?’ the wise senior asked. ‘Suppose someone offers you one thousand dolla...
