GUARDIAN
(inspired by hearing a "Guardian" tree actually fall in the woodlands) Sharp slicing, icy winds, slam against an aged tree whose days as Guardian of the Woodland are at an end... a relentless wind Its branches bow and sway, coated in an icy shroud. Its tree trunk cracks, like the sound like a rifle...

WAITING
Waiting....for her.... All evening he waited, Anxiously eyeing the clock, Retracing his steps Over and over, going casually crazy Counting the minutes Until her arrival. Kneeling before a crackling fire, Adding another log. He rose to check again His preparations for this night. The thick sheepskin...

TWO OLD FRIENDS SAY "GOOD BYE"
(not to be confused with the Oct. 21st posting) It is Autumn, oh yes, it is.... but Summer does not leave lightly. She lingers long on the hillside, her feeble fingers holding on for dear life, clinging to red and golden trees. She barely stirs when a breeze blows cold across her face. These two old...

EVERY SO OFTEN
Every so often..... there will be times you will not understand what I do. But always understand, I love you. Every so often there will be times that you don't understand your own misgivings with me. But always understand, I love you. Every so often there will be times when you don't understand my...

WRITER'S CHOICE
The whiskey was warm... and the hatred hotter than the liquor's sting. I threw back 4 shots fast, not giving myself time to breathe. No sense in breathing when you're just existing. The clock that had been counting only ever added up to this moment. The whiskey was warm, I drank it slow now so I...

IF THE WIND SHOULD BLOW BY SOFTLY
We go through life so often, Not stopping to enjoy each day. And we take each day for granted, As we travel on "life's" way. But in our pain and sorrow, An angel's kiss will help us through, (This kiss is very private, And is only meant for you). We never stop to measure, Anything we so easily might...

A PLACE FOR US
There's a place in our hearts where the purest of love reigns, where we go when love is needed more than life itself. There is a place in our souls where love, and fantasy, and dreams, and wishes, can become reality for a fleeting second, a second that feels like forever.... There's a place in our...

YOU WALK IN A DREAM
You walk in a dream... Coming to me through the haze, To my arms, To my lips, To my love. To our own special place Given us by God. I feel you in my arms and suddenly I have no breath. You are in my dreams, You are in my heart. You are my life. You melt into my arms slowly. The warmth of the...

A SHORTCUT HOME
A shortcut home.... Decayed and broken tombstones, broken-winged angels still seem breathing in this graveyard shortcut home. Kings, heroes, villains and warriors having long term rest after being done in by brutal mayhem and murder... Cemetery flowers, withered, but some in artificial bloom. There...

A ROAD TO NOWHERE
My hands fly across across the keyboard.... No, actually they "limp" across it. Mindlessness motion, But in steady determination. Agony in the inability To advance beyond the word "The.." Freezes my brain. But I am resolved. I will attain the unattainable. Day dreaming as I stroll down This road...
