I Remember You

I remember your voice and how it sings to me Your whispering breath brushing across my ear I miss all of that and the way that you laugh And everything that I felt from just what I could hear… I remember your face and how it looks to me Your soulful longing eyes simply capturing me I miss all of...

Ravensbane: Citizen/Soldier I

The Ravensbane Chronicles Citizen/Soldier I A quiet building In morning light Stillness to the very air Tranquility and tension Coexisting In a peace that won’t last there Concrete dust Human sweat The taste of fear pervades Shared by both Those that occupy And those that come to invade … Silence...

Ravensbane: Atheists in Foxholes

The Ravensbane Chronicles Atheists in Foxholes Under a desert moon A scorpion skitters Across broken, pebbled ground Its wicked claws Barbed stinger Not the only threats around Pause and move Move and pause Movements an erratic rhythm Jet carapace In umbra shadows Another defense mechanism In the...

Happy Birthday!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to say that I've been away for a few days due to the birth of our first child, a gorgeous baby girl! Alexandria Jade Nelson was born on the 26th; she was 7lbs 7oz and 20.5 inches long. It was a perfect pregnancy and birth. Mom and baby are both doing great and we're back...

Ravensbane: Arkadius

The Ravensbane Chronicles Arkadius Two hands, one knee On hardened ground Wings stretched and held out wide Bare-chested, Soaking wet Rain falling in soft moonlight Rivulets streaming Down chiseled features High cheekbones glistening wet Long hair Dark, matted Head bowed down; listening intent...

Endgame: Cry Wolf!

Cry Wolf! Cry Wolf!
